Form a connection with someone who has first hand experience conducting business and developing strategic relationships in China. 2. When in yiwu china , cultivate contacts with many people in order to find the right decision makers. 3. Knowledge of the culture and language is key. Even basic understandings will go a long way and your hosts will appreciate your initiative. 4. The Chinese are very keen about exchanging business cards. Bring plenty with you to business meetings, preferably ones written in English on one side and in Chinese on the other. Learn how to present them to your Chinese counterparts. 5. Avoid the word “no” in your business dealings. “Perhaps,” “we’ll see” and other ambiguous words are more appropriate. 6. Humility is a virtue in the Chinese business culture. In most instances, exaggerated claims will be discounted. 7. Expect long and arduous negotiations, even at the very end. 8. Be prepared and be patient. Accept the delays that may occur. The Chinese prefer to establish strong relationships before closing deals because of the lack of a strong legal system to enforce contracts. 9.

Keep an open mind for new and creative opportunities.

Is it really that there is nothing money can not buy in Yiwu

Abstract : In 1982, the Yiwu government provided the first legal open-air market with 700 booths. That was the embryo of what is now the Yiwu small commodities city that has expanded to more than 20 markets with 65,000 booths. Yiwu market is No. 1 wholesale market in the world, with 2, 600, 000 m2 showrooms, 320,000 kinds of commodities in over 1502 categories of 34 industries. With 65,000 booths in 20 different classified markets, if you drop by a booth for three minutes it takes a year to look around all the booths in Yiwu. People say there is nothing money can't buy in Yiwu. Even supermarket giant Carrefour and the United Nations are Yiwu's customers. The main markets offer more than 400,000 items classified under 1,700 categories, from arts and crafts, candles, gardening equipment, umbrellas, to watches, toys, and jewelry. yiwu is also a paradise for traders from all over the world, with up to 200,000 visitors per day on average and 6,000 foreign residents. Tens of thousands of traders and businessmen from all over the world crowd in Yiwu every day to look for cheap products to sell in their home markets, transforming this small city into a prosperous trading center. Palestinian businessman Hazem Shyoukhi, 30, was one of the first foreigners to source cheap products in Yiwu eight years ago. Back then, the city was just beginning to position itself as a hub for trading small commodities in the country. "In 2000, there were not many foreigners here. Yiwu was a small city with grubby roads. Now it is a big and clean city with lots of foreigners because of business here," Shyoukhi says. Now there are 25,000 manufacturers representing 20 industries. More than 50 percent of zipper and 70 percent of jewelry production in China comes from Yiwu and 40 percent of the electric clocks in the world are also from the area. Nearly 95 percent of the entrepreneurs in Yiwu are ex-vendors, according to International Business Daily. They traded in the commodities market and shifted to manufacturing. However, because Yiwu started the manufacturing business late in the game, the county found it was at a disadvantage. And the recent tightened macroeconomic policies have made it more difficult for enterprises to find land. "Coming into Yiwu small commodities market is like attending the China Import and Export Fair – Canton fair. You can attend the "Canton Fair" everyday here. Yiwu should become a window and base for small and medium-sized enterprises. "

What is Yiwu

It is a very interesting question that some one asked on alibaba.com: yiwu? Name of a location, trade or district? Please tell me!! I heard of this Yi Wu many times. Although didn’t get a clear picture of it. It sounds to me like a Shopping Heaven selling low volume products to international buyers. Can anyone tell me more about YI WU. Where is the location and how the things is trade there. What is the advantage or maybe disavantages in Yi WU. Let us see the answers of “what is Yiwu” together. 1. What is Yiwu? Answered from rqt1984, yiwu china . Yiwu is China’s largest international commodity markets. A lot of friends in the procurement of goods there. I went to Yiwu. It is a good place. 2. What is Yiwu? Answered from Lawyersun, Yiwu China. Yiwu is a county level small city located in middle of Zhejiang Province in China, which is about 2 hours drive from Ningbo or Hangzhou, and 2-4 hours from Shanghai. Here has a group of biggest wholesale markets in mainland China, for all sorts of small items. You can find nearly everything that exported from China in this city’s wholesale market. So if you want cheap small items with ordinary quality, here will be a heaven for you. 3. What is Yiwu? Answered from Rob Bailey, Hongkong China. Yiwu is a special economic trade zone about 2-4 hours outside of Shanghai. Here’s the wikipedia link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yiwu. I have found some suppliers who can do small quantities at good pricing BUT they need babysitting. You can usually find 4-5 locals willing to be your rep who have descent experience BUT they usually are taking in profit from the manufacturer as well. The good is that there’re tons of suppliers there to compare, and lots of opportunities to actually meet your suppliers. The bad is that there are trading companies posing as factories, and you better beware if a deal seems too good to be true. A good agent in Yiwu is worth her/his weight in gold. A bad agent will make you wish you had stuck with online sourcing. If you go, be sure you know what you want, otherwise you’ll be overwhelmed with the selection. The fair is so large it would take at least 1 week of 8 hour days to walk the whole thing. 4. What is Yiwu? Answered from Egernia, Australia. Personally I do not like Yiwu. It is nothing more than a Chinese flea market selling cheap, low quality goods. It would be the perfect place to go shopping for stock for a one dollar discount store but not much else. Most of the traders there are not manufacturers although they will all pretend that they are. Honestly you are better off sticking with online sourcing, accepting higher MOQ, and actually dealing with semi-professional companies, than scrounging around in Yiwu.

Is Yiwu Fair or Yiwu Market better

Yiwu Market, i.e. China Commodity City, China Yiwu International Trade City, the No.1 wholesale market in the world, the Never End Expo, it is like a 350 days Canton Fair. Yiwu Fair, i.e. China Yiwu International Small Commodities Fair, the largest, the most influential, the most effective daily consumer goods exhibition in China, the third large exhibition follow Canton Fair and East China Fair. What you say? Is Yiwu Fair worth? Or Yiwu Market is better! for me, Yiwu fair only increase prices and good business for Yiwu Hotels! Best answer: The way I work. If I dont know what I am looking for, or don’t know the market area well, or am looking for a new product, then I always go to a fair such as Canton Fair, Yiwu Fair. In a fair, it’s obviouse the prices are way to high, but what you get is ideas, and get to see the products in action. Once I have found my product, I try to get samples and all kinds of brochures and information. Now the challenge starts, after having narrowed down my search, I go to the yiwu market , since now I know the price of the product, which I want, I would want to find a cheaper version of it, to better conditions. Basically I call it price hunting, Yiwu market is the ideal place to do that. The Yiwu market can always beat the yiwu fair , with prices and volume of products, but only if you know what you are doing. The Fair, helps you to narrow down your search, and possibly find a market gap, but also helps you to get new ideas. If used well, you can have a very helpfull combination of both.

What is Quality Control

amandaiec reports: AmandaIEC understands that in Yiwu China, finding a cost-effective source of supply is only the first step. After that, the biggest considerations in yiwu china procurement are Quality Control, dependability and on-time delivery particularly since customers are so far away from the production function.Quality Control is a process employed to ensure a certain level of quality in a product or service. It may include whatever actions a business deems necessary to provide for the control and verification of certain characteristics of a product or service. The basic goal of Quality Control is to ensure that the products, services, or processes provided meet specific requirements and are dependable, satisfactory, and fiscally sound.Essentially, Quality Control involves the examination of a product, service, or process for certain minimum levels of quality. The goal of a Quality Control team is to identify products or services that do not meet a company’s specified standards of quality. If a problem is identified, the job of a Quality Control team or professional may involve stopping production temporarily. Depending on the particular service or product, as well as the type of problem identified, production or implementation may not cease entirely.Usually, it is not the job of a Quality Control team or professional to correct quality issues. Typically, other individuals are involved in the process of discovering the cause of quality issues and fixing them. Once such problems are overcome, the product, service, or process continues production or implementation as usual.Quality Control can cover not just products, services, and processes, but also people. Employees are an important part of any company. If a company has employees that don’t have adequate skills or training, have trouble understanding directions, or are misinformed, quality may be severely diminished. When Quality Control is considered in terms of human beings, it concerns correctable issues. However, it should not be confused with human resource issues.Often, Quality Control is confused with quality assurance. Though the two are very similar, there are some basic differences. Quality control is concerned with the product, while quality assurance is process Coriented.Even with such a clear-cut difference defined, identifying the differences between the two can be hard. Basically, Quality Control involves evaluating a product, activity, process, or service. By contrast, quality assurance is designed to make sure processes are sufficient to meet objectives. Simply put, quality assurance ensures a product or service is manufactured, implemented, created, or produced in the right way; while quality control evaluates whether or not the end result is satisfactory.

But it is not a good choice for buying wholesale food, beverage, chemical raw material, etc. from China. Step1 Decide what items you want to buy wholesale from yiwu china . Given the current climate surrounding Chinese imports, it probably is not the best idea to get anything related to children. Other than that, you should make your decision based in part on what you enjoy since you will be spending a good deal of time with the products. Also factor in what other people want to buy. Trendy items will work if you want to change your orders often, and items that speak to a need, rather than want, also do well. Step2 Investigate the companies you can find on your own. Check out sources with listings of wholesalers or conduct searches on your own for Chinese wholesalers already set up to sell items to people in the United States. Since you will be purchasing your items remotely, you want to make sure that the company can handle the financial and shipping aspects quickly. Step3 Form relationships with people who can assist in the business. Many people who import goods wholesale have a manufacturer’s representative. This person may be located in China. At the very least, this person should be familiar with Chinese business etiquette and be able to assist you, even if only in an advisory capacity, regarding the best deals and companies. Step4 Seek out retail outlets in your countries (United States, UK, German, France, Australia, Brazil, etc). Once you get the items here, you will want to move them quickly to avoid incurring storage fees. Try to set up with local businesses to purchase the products from you once they arrive. Step5 Tweak your orders. After you get a couple of orders under your belt, you should do a little research. Crunch numbers to determine if you are making a profit on each item and buy wholesale from China the goods that work the best for your company¡¯s cash flow. amandaiec is No.1 trusted Distributor of China Wholesale: promotional gifts wholesale, dollar items from China, overstock from China, Christmas Ornaments & Decorations, Jewelry wholesale, Arts & Crafts, etc. Buy China wholesale products at wholesale price from leading Chinese wholesalers, enjoy online wholesale and become a wholesaler now!

Taxes on imported goods

We don’t add taxes, VAT, or other hidden charges. You pay what you see on the checkout page, i.e. goods subtotal + shipping cost. However – In most countries in the world you have to pay taxes on imported goods. Sometimes goods under a certain value, or in certain categories, do not incur taxes. The rules are different in every country. In any one country the rules are often applied differently in different places, and sometimes rather randomly. amandaiec is based in China. We are a Chinese company. Therefore anything you buy from us is going to be imported as far as your country’s customs are concerned. Unfortunately there is no way for us to know the rules, regulations, customs, traditions, practices, loopholes, schemes, systems, paperwork, codes, laws, or rulings of any country. As such we cannot, and will not, offer advice about taxes in your country. As the buyer, it is your responsibility to find out that information before you order. If you have to pay import taxes and/or additional duties and sales taxes (e.g. VAT in the UK) then you would have to pay that to the courier upon receipt of the package(s) from yiwu china . Unfortunately we can’t calculate this for you and there is no way to pre-pay it. If you are drop-shipping or sending a gift item to someone else please make sure they are aware of the possibility of having to pay taxes when receiving the goods. If you order goods from us and feel that you’ve been unexpectedly “stung” with taxes at your end, please don’t blame us. Please find out as much as you can about your import taxes in your own country before completing your order. If you find out information about the import tax situation in your country, and you believe there are ways for you to minimize the taxes you have to pay (or eliminate the taxes altogether), we are more than happy to follow your instructions regarding labeling, packing, declarations, invoices, etc. Just tell us what you need and we will let you know what we can do to help.
