Importing from China

Hello Friends,

China presents massive opportunities for your business, regardless of whether you’ve been established for a while or are in start-up mode. But to be successful in your attempts to do business in China, you need to find the right supplier. This is extremely important considering there are potentially thousands of suppliers vying to make your product. The main factors to consider when deciding who to deal with are the levels of risk you’re prepared to accept and the amount of time and cost involved.
1. Using sourcing websites
2. Using an overseas trading company
3. Attending trade fairs in China
4. Using an Australian professional sourcing company
5. Do your research

Best Regards

Hi Simpan email me I can help you kind regards David

I also want to buy some Intel cpu from china. I heard there are many fraud. Also They scam my $1600 named ryan Lee. Where I will get good intel cpu?

I have been importing from China for 2 years now, and there are many things one has to learn. But I will give you the best advice in a nutshell: You need a Sourcing Agent and a Shipping Agent. A good Sourcing agent will phone the factories for you after you told her what you need, and she will negotiate the best price for you. They normally take about 2% commission on your full order, and given that a sourcing agent will save you many thousands of dollars and do all your negotiations for you directly with the factories and not a middleman, in Chinese, and not English as you would, 2% is nothing.

You can try my sourcing Agent who is above reproach and honest to a cent:
Her name is JOY LIU and her Skype address is: joy_liu2008

Once you found your product, you need to get it Shipped, NEVER use the shippers that the factory recommend, as they usually get a kick-back, use a honest and fluent English speaking Shipping Agent, they will bring your cost per kilogram from around US$ 60 a kilo (via Courier) down to around US$ 12 a kilo depending on the total weight and type of product (some cost more than others due to airline regulations) and the Shipping Agent will advise you how to do it the cheapest way. If it is too expensive to do it via air, they will do it in a partial container for you which will save you about 60% on shipping cost.

Here I recommend my shipping agent, Ricky, his Skype address is: ricky-chen888

Good luck to you with your imports. You can save thousands of dollars by using the above methods.

I have posted a lengthy reply at the bottom ot the page, this should help you considerably. Kind regards.

Hi Simpan,it is easy to import goods from China . If the things you buy is not big very big or heavy ,you can choose to send by Aircargo or by Express (DHL ) .Tax depends on the customs in Australia and what goods .
Normally ,Tax it is paid by the customers in Australia .
If you would like to know more things ,you can ask me freely ! Nice day !

Hello Friends,

Most of you probably don’t know this, but one of the very first profitable businesses I ran was an importing company. From the age of 13 til the age of 16, I imported a whole bunch of random stuff and sold it on various websites. It was really difficult when I was getting started, partially due to my lack of experience, and partially due to the fact that there was nobody there to help me. So this is basically going to be an A-Z guide on what I would do, step by step, if I was going to start over again at importing products from Asia and selling them online. I’ll also include some insights on what made me choose these steps. If you plan on trying this out, I would suggest bookmarking this blog post and referencing it in the future. I am planning on it being a complete guide and will be continually adding to it based on questions I get from readers.

Thanks and Regards,
Steven Shamar

BEST answer! My experience exactly.

I think that you need to search a famous website which can protect the seller and buyer in China. It will keep you away from fraud. After conversation, you must on business by personally! Many policies

I trusted Dan Spring and her company J&D International Group (http://www.jdintlgroup.com) back in the end of December 2014/January 2015 to help me purchase furniture in FoShan / Guangzhou (China). She seemed to be very nice and open. I sent her pictures of what I am looking for so that she could get an idea of where to navigate us.

My wife and I had planned 6 days. I spent 100USD a day for Dan´s service + 3% commission for the sourcing. During lunch we got to know each other better and spoke about business and so on. She told me how other purchase agents would rip off clients, get them bad prices, and take a commission from the shops. Dan told us face to face that she wouldn’t take any commission or whatsoever, that she believes in a good relationship, and fair dealing with her clients, and so on… – we really trusted her. Long story short…
Don’t fall into a trap by trusting her, she is only professional in taking out your money… Dan Spring, is only interested in money, and once she gets paid she doesn’t care anymore about her clients.

These are just a few of the bad things that happened:
- Dan started to be very pushy after we didn’t purchase anything after day 2. I told her to stop and that we needed some time to think. She was anything but professional. Every time we needed more time to think or were not sure about something she pushed us even more.
- Sometimes she just walked away and played with her phone. She didn’t really care after day 3 because we didn’t purchase as fast as she expected.
- my wife and I decided to go around the lighting market alone, and we really got very good prices – every time Dan was with us the prices were much higher. A lamp that I got offered for around 40USD cost 100USD when Dan was with me. Same shop, even the same vendor, just a different day.
- We decided to buy doors with a vendor; the vendor sent me a text message (happy to send you the conversation through WeChat) warning me that Dan asked her for commission. This vendor refused to pay and Dan seemed to get very angry about this. I didn’t know what to think at that time. I still trusted Dan who recommended me to buy the doors from someone else – and I would only find out later that the vendor was telling the truth. The picture attached was mistakenly sent to me by Dan´s company J&D International Group. You can see that she received commission from other shops and that she made up a bad story about the vendor to convince me to purchase from someone else (ask your Chinese friend to translate the remarks in red). If you cant read it at all, I am happy to send it to you by email.
- After returning back to my home country, and after making 70% of the down payment she started to tell me that some shops asked for an additional fee to keep the goods. We had a little delay because of Chinese New Year, and she made me pay a few hundred USD on top.
- A few goods were missing in the quality report (after they collected all the goods) but the price that they charged me was still the same. I told them to change the prices but they just didn’t care about it.
- I called up Dan, she was very hysteric and told me that she wants to send the goods away now because they have had them for a very long time. She charged me again here… They could only “control” me with extra fees because I already had paid a good amount of deposit (70%).
- The container finally arrived in the end of June. And we were in shock. As you can see from the pictures, a whole was inside, so a lot of water came in. I contacted J&D International Group and Dan Spring, but they just didn’t get back to me. If Dan Spring had done the work properly this would have never happened. This has been a very bad ending and a huge disappointment.

Always make sure to have a contract with people you work with. I was stupid enough to believe in what Spring Dan praised: trust.
