China Wholesale



China importing is a major opportunity for those that know the formula as it is the manufacturing capital of the world. There are so many factories in China so it can be a complicated process if you don’t follow the right advice. These are of risks when sourcing from China as there are a variety of qualities available which can lead to sub standard products.  With the right guidance, these pitfalls can be avoided.

Contracts

When sourcing from China you can rely on verbal agreements as communication errors in China can lead to very costly mistakes. It is imperative that you have everything in writing and create contracts with all parties when importing from china. It is advisable to get legal assistance so that the contracts are legally binding.The law is different in China so you need a lawyer with knowledge of the Chinese market to avoid costly mistakes.
Contracts in China don’t always have as much power as they do in the western world, but having an airtight contract is still fundamental protection.

Specifications

The specifications must be outlined in full and in writing with everything in a signed contract. Slight discrepancies can lead to major problems when your products arrive in Australia. You really need a to be at the factory in person before manufacturing begins and at the factory to do the final inspection before dispatch. A container of slight defects is a very big headache in Australia.

Price

Too many China import novices are too focused on getting the cheapest price as the lower the price, the higher the potential profits. Chinese manufacturing is cheaper so by trying to get the lowest price in China, you will normally get a poor quality factory that may use harmful materials or manufacture poor quality. There is an old saying that if it sounds too good to be true then it normally is. It is important that you get a sample first and that the quality of the sample is in contracted for mass production.

Due Diligence

Importing novices do not normally vet factories adequately by checking certificates and arranging meeting with management to check the financial viability of the factory. Importers really need to visit the factory and check which companies the factory supplies. If you can prove they actually supply international companies by proving the quality in person then this is a major guarantee. Suppliers at trade fairs and over the internet can bend the truth to acquire business so be careful and do all your checks first.

Boots On The Ground

Doing business in China and not understating the culture can be a minefield and can be a logistical disaster waiting to happen without being in China to put out the fires out before they become a major problem. A  china sourcing agent when importing from china can avoid the costly mistakes that often occur. The China wholesale agent must speak Chinese to assist with quality control inspections and any emergencies with logistics or manufacturing. Business owners believe they can manage the import  remotely but the value of having an agent with boots on ground cannot be underestimated.

TenTips to Source your Products from China Tip 1: Verify your Supplier The numbers of manufacturers and suppliers in China is endless and the efficiency, quality and legitimacy between them vary significantly. Therefore, it is important to verify your supplier before you make a payment. Do not get impressed by a professional website and rankings on Alibaba. There is only one way to properly verify a business in China and that's through a local government office, which will check the manufacturer’s business registration, the annual turnover and its trading history. However, this could be difficult without being fluent in Chinese and without being on-site. Furthermore, in order to not get ripped off, it is essential to transfer all payments to an official bank account of the registered factory or a trusted intermediary and never to individuals or unions in China.   Tip 2: Get someone on the ground in China There are countless Chinese manufacturers so they often try
