Importers often have special knowledge of the region of the world they are importing goods from. An antiques importer may specialize in antiques from a particular country, such as Australia. Importers in teas may have special knowledge of countries such as Japan, Korea, China or India and may be aware of the nuances affecting the quality of a product, such as an unusually dry or rainy spell that affects growing conditions. Often, importers speak the language of the country products are being imported from so that negotiations are easier and that there are fewer misunderstandings due to language differences. Some importers have lived or traveled extensively in countries they import from.
