To know whether the contacted fresh buyer is a noble one or fake or low budget company.
Sometimes, exporters receive fresh enquiries from unknown buyers who shows their intention to buy good volum goods from the exporters but upon shipment they are unable to fulfill their committment to their low financial resources due to which their payments doesn't reimburse timely to exporters.
