Are you thinking of starting your own business, or improving an existing one? Are you planning to import pet equipment or accessories from China?

You've probably noticed the mass migration of people to cities, the increasing number of elderly people, and couples getting married and having children later in life.

All this has caused the popularity of owning pets, which means a greater number of people who are ready to spend money on their pet.

What's more, if you look at Google trends for Serbia, you can see that the word dog has more searches than Aliexpress and Alibaba combined.

This tells you that you are on the right track and should at least consider starting a business selling pet supplies. And today, in the age of online sales, all of that is even simpler, especially if you narrowly specialize in a certain type of product.

Here we show you how it's done and what you need to know when importing pet products from China

On 25.10.2021. The General Office of the State Council of the People's Republic of China has released the 2022 schedule of holidays and non-working days. The people's governments of all provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the central government, all ministries and commissions of the State Council, and all institutions directly under the central government issue:

Proclamation:
With the approval of the State Council, special holiday date arrangements are hereby notified for:

• New Year,
• Spring holiday,
• Qingming Festival,
• Labor Day,
• Dragon Boat Festival,
• Mid-Autumn Festival and
• Statehood Day 2022.

A few days ago, we received a request from a company from BiH to attend the loading of machines that they ordered independently for the needs of their company.

We, as the Gabriel group, did not participate in the selection of the manufacturer, we did not monitor the process of making the machine, as well as quality control and functional correctness.

The customer found the factory himself and agreed all conditions with the factory.

Our job was only to escort and control the loading of goods. That is, whether all machines from the list are loaded. When loading and checking the goods from the list, we could only notice the external defects of the machines. We also didn't see if the machines were working or how they worked.

In November 2020, we witnessed the beginning of an increase in the price of container transport.

Today those prices are ten times higher!

Was it the beginning of the end for cheap goods from China?

Is there any sign of the situation calming down, or will this become the new normal?

Dozens of cargo ships grounded off the California coast illustrate the shipping disruptions that have become a feature of recovering economies, fueling inflation, slowing growth and challenging the global economic model that has ruled for three decades. According to the data coming to us from America, there is no chance that things will return to normal in the near future.

For the needs of a client from Serbia, we visited a workshop from Shenzhen with which we have a long-term cooperation in the procurement of used antminers and used ASIC machines.
Within the workshop, there is also a department where buyers or agents can check the correctness of the goods themselves before buying, and that is why we visited this shop.
Since we are regular customers of their ASIC machines, they allowed us to photograph and record parts of the factory and show them to you. We want to show you what the inside of a factory looks like, where old machines for mining bitcoin, ethereum and other virtual currencies are repaired.
