Interested in making 10000Month Download our free ebook here from China is something that I strongly recommend It is much cheaper to purchase product from Chinese suppliers compared to USA suppliers Some people find this idea very daunting especially the cultural barrier To help you we’ve created this video outlining some of our top tips when importing from China

Tip 1 Order the minimal order quantity to start with when importing from China

To be on the safe side you should always start with the minimal order quantity when dealing with a new supplier

I understand that a lot of sellers want to start out by ordering larger quantities This makes sense because the more you order the lower the cost is per-item and the higher your profit margins It also means that you will have a smaller chance of running out of stock

In Spite of this when importing from China with a new Chinese supplier I recommend starting with the minimal order quantity EVEN if you know it’ll sell well because you want to test the quality It is much harder to go from producing 1 unit to producing 200… and even harder to go from producing 200 to 1000

On that note you should ALWAYS be ordering a test product when dealing with a new Chinese supplier You’ll have to pay for the shipping but it is extremely important to do this to check the quality even if the supplier has a lot of reviews on Alibaba

Tip 2 Do due diligence on the supplier

That said reviews on Alibaba are very important When using Alibaba to source Chinese suppliers check the reviews Only work with suppliers that have positive reviews

Be sure to check the address of the supplier on Google Maps Ensure that there is a factory at the address noted If there isn’t a factory then it is likely a middle man… which means you’re paying inflated prices and not the at-cost price

And pick up the phone and give them a call Make sure someone picks up the phone and talks to you yes - this may seem obvious but a lot of people don’t do this simple thing

Even better is if you can find people who can personally recommend Chinese suppliers to you This way you can work with suppliers that you can trust from the get-go

Tip 3 Build a strong relationship with your supplier and representative

This is an important lesson not just when importing from China but for business and life in general Treat people with respect and they will treat you with respect as well Think about it If someone was disrespectful to you would you want to help them On the other hand if someone is nice to you don’t you want to help them

Be respectful and friendly

In addition Chinese suppliers like you to be formal in your communication style with them They like to be told directly that you appreciate their business and are happy with the products being produced They will be hoping to turn you into a long-term client and want the positive feedback so be sure to give it to them

Tip 4 Don’t feel you need to speak Mandarin

When importing from China some people get put off by the perceived language barrier “But I only know English… can I still import from China” Yes - you can

Chinese factories have English representatives specifically for people like you Their English is good and you’ll have minimal language barriers Don’t let this stop you from profiting from the very cheap products you can source from China

Now when importing from China there are some things you can do to minimize the language barrier

One use short sentences and do not include extra fluff Be straight to the point

Two use professional language do not use slang

Three be aware that there are multiple types of “English”

Four don’t assume that your representative knows YOUR particular flavour of English Avoid country-specific words and isms

Tip 5 Remember that when importing from China “yes” doesn’t always mean YES

In China it is considered impolite for the suppliers to say no So even when they want to say no… they are unlikely to and will often say yes instead

However this doesn’t mean it is a yes It is a no But they will say “yes” anyway

It is one frustrating quirk If you sense any hesitation in their “yes” ask them the same question be reworded differently multiple times If you ever get a “maybe” that is almost always a no
