Get quality Chinese suppliers at the best price guarantee

You must be quite clear and detail as accurately as possible what is the quality you want to get, otherwise, the Chinese supplier will give you everything they have in their product portfolio, sometimes, the products will be so similar that it will seem that you are buying what you are looking for, leading you to confusion, so it is important that for each product you request a quality data sheet, in this way, you will be buying according to your quality.

The supplier, except in specific cases, will offer a minimum order, which in some cases may be high. If this is the case, try to negotiate a reduction in the initial quantity, if possible without lowering the quality and respecting the price.

In most cases, ask them to offer their prices in FOB conditions, together with the packing list of the order and the HS code of the product.

Ask for all product certifications and check that they are valid and that they comply with the regulations of the destination country.

Ask for a sample of the product to be sent to you before placing the complete order, so that you can check that the quality is what you have requested.

Once you have checked all the final import costs, draw up a manufacturing contract with all the contractual details you deem appropriate, agreeing on the deliveries on account and the rest once you have carried out an inspection of the production, guaranteeing that you will receive the agreed product with the quality requested.

New online platforms, some well-known ones like Alibaba, Taobao, 1688.com, Gearbest, Global Sources, Hktdc, Chinavasion, Yiwugo, Made in China, offer thousands of products, suppliers, and manufacturers, not only in China but also, depending on the platform, in other countries such as India, Malaysia, Bangladesh.

There are therefore multiple ways to access suppliers in China depending on the type of product you are looking for. However, it is also important to know that depending on the product to be imported, it is necessary to be aware of the regulations required for the product. You may be talking to hundreds of suppliers and none have what you are looking for, with knowledge of the regulations being one of the best filters when dealing with such suppliers.

At Bull Importer, we do not use these platforms when searching for suppliers for our clients as we have our own office in Shanghai, a city where almost 100% of all Chinese companies are represented, meaning they have their business center there even if their factory is in other parts of China’s geography.

Indeed, the highest demand occurs in the textile sector. Thousands of companies are striving to be competitive in the fashion industry and they know that both China and other countries are the best positioned when it comes to having the largest supply of clothing manufacturing worldwide.

The problem is that many companies seek to buy in the same way they buy from their nearest distributors, trying to risk as little as possible to avoid being left with excess stock. China is not the best solution for this type of company, but it is for those looking to buy or manufacture in large quantities because they know that the purchase price is very low. However, they are also fully aware that they must bear import costs and understand that the larger the order quantity, the better the final cost of their entire purchase.

Chinese clothing suppliers are well aware of how imports work and know that they will not be able to sell to a small retailer, hence they demand orders with minimum quantities. If you are considering importing clothing from suppliers in China in small quantities, it is best to consider improving current prices by seeking out new suppliers in your own country.

Following on from everything described in the previous section, the world of shoes is undoubtedly the next most in demand. China is undoubtedly the world’s largest manufacturer of all types of shoes, whether for dress, safety, work or casual wear. As in the textile sector, buying footwear from suppliers in China implies making a reasonable investment and acquiring a quantity that amortises all the import costs and that therefore translates into obtaining a unit price at our facilities that allows us to have a reasonable sales margin.

Thinking about buying single pairs or buying many types of models in small quantities is not going to be your best strategy. When you decide to import footwear from China, you have to think that the suppliers are going to demand to buy important quantities for each model of footwear. The higher the quantity of units per model, the better the final price of the product and therefore the profitability.

Unless you have no interest in differentiating yourself from your competition, the best way to do business with suppliers of any kind of products is to establish a standard of quality. If you are looking for any product, know that it can be manufactured in very different qualities, and therefore, prices will also vary. You might mistakenly think that you are buying your product at the best price. It is essential for businesses that want to differentiate themselves from the competition to find Chinese suppliers that meet the quality standards they are seeking.

Once you have clearly defined and documented the quality standards, you will be in a position to receive the best offers from suppliers in China. However, be vigilant about quotations or prices as there are also ways to disguise details that may make you think you are purchasing the quality you desire.

Many suppliers in China and other countries are not clear and transparent; they simply want to make a sale and secure a deal. They have a very different culture and are indifferent to losing a customer, knowing that tomorrow they will have another hundred new customers in their email inbox. These are not reliable suppliers.

There are many products related to cosmetics, food, or furniture, to name a few, where, in addition to knowing how to calculate costs, we need to consider that certain analytics, test reports, laboratory certificates, analyses, and so on are necessary. Therefore, knowing how to buy from Chinese suppliers is an advantage that translates into having all the knowledge from the start, beginning with a clear definition of what we want and ending with knowing all the knowledge and regulations to consider when importing the product.

Determining if a business is viable or not requires not only obtaining the best purchase price from Chinese suppliers but also knowing equally important aspects such as the following:

• Full costs of the order to the facilities.
• Product certificates and tests checked and verified.
• Compliance declarations about the products from the suppliers.
• Liability for damages to a third party from imported products.

For all these reasons, at Bull Importer, we offer services that adapt to any company with the capacity to purchase with the minimum requirements demanded by suppliers and manufacturers. We can work according to the situation you are in, whether you already have a supplier located or if you want us to handle all the arrangements based on your needs.
