Import From China

Saturday,Mar.15th, 2008

There are many sources to find the product you are interested in, such as internet, export commodity fair, government authorities like Canada Business Service for Entrepreneurs, and my blog.

Post the products of your interest, I will advise products supply information.

Before placing any order, you will need to confirm with your suppliers about shipment terms.
After that, you should select a forwarder and an Inbound Customs broker in order to properly comply with relevant import regulations. A few days before the expected shipment, contact an inspection company in China to check your goods on site (i.e. in the factory) to avoid receiving defective goods.

Your freight forwarder and customs broker will take care of your transportation and customs clearance.

After receive your products, you can sell your products and make profit.

I will suggest some internet sources in my next post.
