Many customers ask us about the best tricks to import from China. Since we offer import services, it is in our interest that you do as well as possible so that we can all do business. That is why we have decided to create this article with tips called “10 tips for importing from China”.
Here are the tips and tricks we give you:
1. Before importing, get to know the product you are going to import. In this way you will be able to indicate to the supplier any specification you need.
2. Import Chinese products for which you already have potential customers. What sells is not only price or quality, but knowing how and to whom to sell.
3. If you do not know what to import from China, we recommend some Chinese products with a large international market. Check here the most demanded Chinese products.
4. Find a good supplier. Don’t just look at the price but at the quality of the product and service. In case you do not know how to do it, put yourself in the hands of professionals in the search of suppliers.
5. Always verify your supplier before you start working with them. If the intention is to work with a factory, you need to avoid buying from a middleman, and that can only be known by doing an in-person inspection or sending someone to write a report for you.
6. Avoid paying by Western Union or by transfer to personal accounts. If you transfer money, make sure it is to a company account. There are many scams with this type of payment.
7. Be careful with logistics, do not leave it in the hands of the manufacturer. They know how to manufacture and sell, but they are completely unaware of what you need to do to keep your order from getting stuck in customs in the destination country. Use an import expert or forwarder.
These have been our 7 tricks to import from China, but there are many more. I’m sure you know a few of them too. Leave your tips for importing from China in the comments!
