Answer
Yes, there are many, many rules of etiquette which apply to gifting in business situations. Hundreds of books have been written to explain such rules, which depend on many factors.
Many countires and corporations have very strict policies regarding their employees' giving and/or accepting gifts. To avoid creating a problem, it’s imperative to know and comply with applicable laws and policies.
(1) Country: in many countries, gifts upon the initial meeting are expected, and in other countries such gifts would be considered offensive and even a criminal act (a bribe).
Companies in countries like Paraguay frown upon most such gifts, since that could be construed as bribes. In Malaysia, such gifts are inappropriate among business colleagues, until they have established a friedly relationship. In Singapore, government employees are not allowed to accept any gifts. In the U.S., the value of such gifts (to be tax deductable) is limited to $25.
On the other hand, in countries like Japan, Indonesia and the Philippines, exchanging such gifts is strongly rooted in tradition.
(2) Occasion: in many situations and in many countries and/or cultures, gifts are expected on certain occasions, such as weddings, births and even deaths!
(3) Religious Rules: In all cases, one must be cognizant of religious laws and customs when selecting gifts.
For example, a gift made of pigskin is inappropriate for a Jewish and Muslim recipient, and a gift of cowhide is inappropriate for an Indian recipient. A bottle of wine (alcohol) would be inappropriate for a Muslim or Mormon.
(4) Sexual Mores. In virtually all countries and occasions, one must be cognizant of sexual mores and innuendo. For example, one would never give intimate apparel to a colleague.
(5) Corporate Identity. A gift with a prominent company logo is almost never appropriate, and even one with a discreet logo is never appropriate in Greece, Spain and Portugal.
(6) Presentation. Even if a gift is appropriate, there are often very detailed rules of etiqueet on how the gift is presented. For example, it is very important in Asia and the Middle East to only use your right hand, or both hands, to offer or accept a gift, while, in Japan and Hong Kong, one always uses both hands.
In Singapore, a recipient will “graciously refuse three times” before accepting your gift. Other rules apply in different places and circumstances that relate to whether the gift should be wrapped, whether the gift should be opened immediately, and how the recipient should react upon receipt of the gift.
There are even rules applicable to how one offers one's hand for a hand-shake and how one exchanges business cards.
Many of these business gift rules of etiquette have analogies in social settings, but, as noted above, many do not.
We've provided a few links below for detailed information, and there are many additional sites available by Googling.
Please re-post with more specific details, and we shall provide further information.
