Hello There,

I´m a 23 year old man I just quit my bank job to go independent with importing products from China.

I have a lot of experience as a seller, but I think this is going to be a little bit different, and I´m really hoping anyone with experience with import from China to Europe could help answer questions.

I´m looking to Import some small and weightless stuff, i don't really have anything specific now, well actually I have been thinking of smoking equipment such as blunt wrap papers, water pipes etc.

Do anyone know where to find the regions that specialize in manufacturing these types of products, or where to go in China to see their biggest market places?

Can any one recommend some useful web sites were i could source such products?

Additionally i would be very grateful if some people from China who read these posts would offer their sourcing help.

I´m planning a trip from Luxembourg where I live to China this summer, do you have any chinese contact persons who you have been in contact with lately concerning products to Europe?

regarding the shipping, do you have any Chinese forwarders can you recommend and how do i find them?

I know this is a lot of questions, but i really need to have them answered, could somebody please help.

Best Regards

Jan

I import and export computer parts for a living. You have to be very careful when sourcing in Asia. Both credible and fraudulent businesses ask for money up front most of the time. Alibaba and Global Sources tend to be two websites with decent information, however, it is truly a buyer beware situation when sourcing prodcuts in Asia.

@bourne666,

Hello Friends,

The European Union has launched an investigation into alleged "dumping" of solar panels into the region's markets by Chinese manufacturers. The probe comes after European manufacturers alleged that Chinese firms were selling panels below their market value. "The investigation will determine whether the product under investigation originating in the country concerned is being dumped and whether the dumped imports have caused injury to the Union industry," the European Commission said in a statement. "If the conclusions are affirmative, the investigation will examine whether the imposition of measures would not be against the Union interest."
