Instructions

1. If you are importing from China almost all popular items are imitations. Especially if the cost is inexpensive. Even though the item may have the popular name attached to it - it is not authentic. If you want to import from China look for items that are not brand name.

2. Most manufacturers, and this is true in China as well as in the USA, will only sell the product in a certain quantity. So be sure to understand the company's purchasing policy.

3. Due your due diligence. First, ask if you can get samples of the product. This way you can test the market before you purchase a large quantity. Also find out how the company ships, what their shipping time is, how do they accept payment. Believe it or not even though we live in the age of credit cards for payment very few companies in China actually accept credit cards. They either want a bank transfer or money gram. I have had some who would actually take a check but that is very time consuming.

4. Also note that each country has its own customs, customs fees and government regulations for exporting. And the USA has it's regulations for importing also. You need to understand them before you import or export.

5. The best way to learn this is to learn from someone who has already done it. If you find someone who has been successful - copy them. You will be successful to.
