Latest news, our services, tips and insights on doing business with China
In the past period since the website www.uvozizkine.com was created, we have received many inquiries from people who want to start their own small business by importing a small amount of products.
Most of them do not have much relevant experience, and they think that it is very simple: find a Chinese supplier, buy the products at a low price, ship them home and sell them at high prices in the domestic market.
But the truth is that importing a small amount directly from China is not that easy and not that profitable.
You will face many different problems, such as shipping costs that may be higher than the price of the product, or your order is much less than the MOQ (minimum quantity) supplied by the manufacturer-supplier.
In some cases, you may have to give up your idea to start a new business.
In this article, we will provide you with a complete introduction on how to import products in small quantities from China and point out some possible problems.
If you want to import from China on your own, it is advisable to know the main Chinese ports for shipping products and goods.
It's no surprise that China's shipping ports are among the busiest in the world because of so many products that are made in China.
China has more than 2,000 ports, of which 34 are major ports.
In fact, six of the world's largest container ports are located along the coast of China, from north to south.
