Finding verified suppliers and manufacturers in China to do business with can be a hassle for most importers. It is now global knowledge that China is the world’s biggest manufacturing hub. This is credited to the fact that China produces more than a quarter of the world’s products.

According to data published by the United Nations Statistics Division, China accounted for 28.7 percent of global manufacturing output in 2019. That puts the country at more than 10 percentage points ahead of the United States, which used to have the world’s largest manufacturing sector until China overtook it in 2010.

With total value added by the Chinese manufacturing sector amounting to almost $4 trillion in 2019, manufacturing accounted for nearly 30 percent of the country’s total economic output. The U.S. economy is much less reliant on manufacturing these days. In 2019, the manufacturing sector accounted for just over 11 percent of GDP in the US.

No matter the kind of product you want to design or manufacture, verified suppliers and manufacturers in China can get it done for you. Popular products shipped from China to other destinations include:

• Electronics
• Electrical material
• Building materials
• Furniture
• Textile and apparel
• Pharmaceuticals and equipment
• Agricultural machinery
• Chemicals
• Industrial equipment
• Food
• Spices and herbs
• Toys

Please note that not every product made in China can be shipped to other countries.

Some are restricted, while others are entirely prohibited from shipping into other countries. For instance, the USA prohibits shipping narcotics, firearms and weapons, and counterfeit goods from China. In addition, it restricts the shipping of dangerous goods, bio-degradables, and irregularly shaped and oversized goods.

However, some US-restricted items can still be shipped from China to other destinations. The only requirement is that the shipper has to seek authorization from their respective country’s authority before sending the items. This is to say that some goods are restricted by regulation for shipping from China. Naiyuan Mart can give you more information on this if you contact us via WhatsApp- 

Doing this beforehand will help you avoid a lot of trouble and shipping delays.

Reasons Importers Source for Products from China

There are many reasons business owners and importers source products from China. Some of them are:

1. The production costs are lower than you would find domestically- Which means there is a dependable profit margin on your products.
2. The infrastructure and labor workforce means they can produce large orders in a short amount of time. 
3. There is a wide range of suppliers to choose from who specialize in a variety of niches and industries which may be difficult to obtain domestically. 
4. Product lines are refined and well organized. This means they attain a certain quality standard.
5. Materials are easily accessible and sourced in China.

However, it’s not all smooth sailing. You will have to think about things such as product quality, the language barrier, Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ), and shipping times to name but a few.
