Business Gifts
Business gifts are not a part of the culture. The government issues strict rules and limits on the value of gifts received and many companies impose similar restrictions.
Inviting your associates out for a meal makes a good gift.
If you do choose to give something, a gift from your home country will be appreciated, although don’t expect a gift in return.
Colleagues may give you something very small if you’ve done something exceptional or once negotiations have ended.
At the holidays, suppliers and vendors often give something to their good clients.
