Sourcing products and services from China

For the last 40 years, China has built up its manufacturing base to be one of the most successful in the world.

In recent years, the growth of the Chinese domestic consumer market has increased imports from overseas of high-quality products. In turn, this has driven up the quality of locally produced products. Today, China is moving towards better quality products.

Lower-quality products are moving to other Asian countries.

The global issues, starting with the virus in early 2020 and continuing today with conflicts around the world, resulted in a rethinking of supply chains. The repatriation of manufacturing back to your country using China's production know-how is an option for consideration.

There are great success stories of overseas companies selling directly to the end consumer.

We offer the following approach for SME wishing to enter the Chinese consumer market.

Our recommendation is based on a business which wishes to enter the Chinese consumer without high costs / risk. The offset to this is your margins will be lower but could match the margins you achieve in your local market. The opportunity is increased turnover in the world’s largest market at low risk.

This approach is for overseas that own the products and therefore can supplier the Chinese e-mall reseller at wholesale prices.

Make contact with the Chinese resellers interesting. Maybe you offer your wholesale prices?
Agree the shipping costs to e-Mall central clearing centre (see page 69).
Goods clearance is the responsible of the Reseller as it’s is their account with the Chinese e-Mall. This will should be straight forward for the Reseller as they already importing good from overseas through the Chinese e-Malls
The Reseller should pay for the goods before they leave the UK. Remember you could be offering wholesale prices.

Do not sign an exclusive deal with a Chinese reseller under less it is performance based.
If you cannot get the right deal for your business move on to the next Reseller.
Do not pay any listing e-Mall fees. That is the responsibility of the Reseller. The e-Mall fees are a lot lower for a Chinese business than an overseas company.
SME should not open their own Chinese e-Mall store unless you can see very high demand from the Chinese market. It is very costly for an overseas company.
