Our China office will be closed from October 1–8 for the Golden Week holiday. Production and communication with manufacturers will be temporarily suspended.

Dear clients and partners,

We would like to inform you that our office in China, as well as most of our partner manufacturers, suppliers, and logistics collaborators, will be closed from October 1 to 8, 2025. This period marks the national holidays known as the Golden Week, during which regular activities in production, administration, and services across the country are suspended.

We believe this information is important for planning orders, production schedules, and deliveries. Since key communication with manufacturers will be temporarily unavailable, our company will not be able to carry out production or logistics activities. Below we provide a detailed overview of what this means for your current and planned orders, the possible impact on deadlines, and the steps we recommend to help minimize delays together.

In recent months, we've noticed a sharp increase in reports from Serbian citizens who fell for scams presented as "Alibaba jobs": registration on a supposed platform, a "mentor" assigning tasks, and quick commissions that you can allegedly withdraw immediately.

The promises are always the same – easy work, no risk, no investment – but you're soon asked to deposit small amounts "for activation," followed by increasingly larger sums, supposedly to complete the next task.

As soon as the money is sent, the scammers change the rules, unlock "VIP 1, 2, 3" packages, and demand more payments until they eventually disappear entirely.

It's important to understand: Alibaba.com, as a global B2B platform, does NOT offer this type of earning model, nor does it request money for "completing tasks" or commissions. Below, we share the email messages we received and a detailed guide on how to protect yourself.

HS codes, or Harmonized System customs tariffs, represent an international standard for goods classification used by over 200 countries worldwide. Each imported or exported product receives a unique numerical code that precisely defines its nature and purpose. These codes are crucial for determining duties, taxes, restrictions, and maintaining international trade statistics.

Without proper HS code usage, customs clearance problems, delays, additional costs or even penalties may occur. Though they may seem like pure bureaucracy, they are actually the foundation of successful and legal international business. Accurate HS codes also enhance import/export transparency, which is essential for globally operating companies.

This article explains what HS codes are, how they work, how to find and use them, and what to pay special attention to when importing goods from China.

In this article, we reveal the Chinese alternatives to popular Western apps, what doesn’t work, and why email is key to successful communication.
