China has now become the United States’ third largest trade partner. As China opens its doors to international trade, importing from China has now become a usual thing. To take advantage of the opportunities that China gives, here are a few tips:
 
Whatever product you are importing, always check the import rules and regulations for such products.
Find out some information about the wholesaler supplier by searching for its business name at http://www. yp. net. cn or the China Vista Yellow Pages. If your wholesaler might be located in Wehai, you can look for it in the Chinese Companies List at http://www. business-in-asia. com/chinese_companies_list. html.
Trade shows are a good way of determining the legitimacy of your suppliers. Since suppliers need to invest financially in trade shows, fraudulent suppliers will not likely join them.   However, not all suppliers who don’t join trade shows are fraudulent.
Every important and single detail should be well documented. This way, breakdowns and all other agreements can be traced.
To make sure that you are on the right track of large-scale importing, take a few trips to Chins and take the time to check for suppliers/ manufacturers/agents whom you feel comfortable working with.
Since you are dealing with another country, you will really be dealing with people of diverse attitudes, customs and beliefs. So, don’t be infuriated whenever local suppliers act differently.
 
Thus, it’s a good idea to read about Chinese culture and study about Chinese words. By doing so, you are respecting their culture. It’s also a way of showing how interested you are in establishing a well reciprocated business relationship.
 
Things to Consider When Shipping from China to UK and Europe
Importers without ample experiences will get scared with the costs and logistics of shipping from China to UK. Plus, different shipping rates also add up these expenses. In turn, it’s hard for importers to differentiate realistic costs from the unrealistic.
That is why, importers should always inquire. Before you select a wholesaler, you should also look around for shipping rates. While arranging the shipping of your products, look into the following considerations as well:
Inland freight charge when obtaining products from the wholesale warehouse to the port
Duty payables on the product
Rules and regulations for bringing products to UK
Get the tariff number from the shipping agent
Obtain the shipping agent’s quotations on the shipping cost and clearance document costs
Manner of picking up the stocks upon its arrival and its costs as well

Other than UK importers, it’s also best for NZ and Australian importers to negotiate with their wholesalers on the shipping costs. If wholesalers are reluctant, inform them that you are actually looking for the best deals.
When you, your wholesaler and shipper have already been doing business lucratively for quite some time, then try asking for lower rates. Frequent customers will likely be offered with lower rates. However, you need to ask because lower rates aren’t offered if you don’t ask at all.
You must also remember that products imported into the UK from outside of EU are issued with a 17. 5% VAT. This rule is applicable to everyone and not only limited to VAT registered companies. You must obtain a PSEUDO TURN number if ever you aren’t VAT registered. This is highly important as your goods won’t obtain any clearance without such.
If you are unaware about this, you can look for useful information on HM Revenue and Customs at http://www. hmrc. gov. uk. You can find the topics’  ‘Introduction to Import and Export’ and ‘Guide to Importing and Exporting: Breaking down the Barriers’ there. Download its PDF’s so you can have a grasp of what these topics are all about.
 
Costs of Importation from China to NZ and Australia
Importation costs from China to NZ and Australia is really high. But it doesn’t necessarily mean that shipping costs are fixed.
NZ and Australia don’t bargain. To them, the price is what you really get. But it is not the same with China. You can still bargain on the shipping costs and the even the costs of the goods themselves. Outcomes of the negotiations depend on the person himself. But this shouldn’t worry you too much because there are Chinese wholesalers who are open to some bartering.
Insurance costs are also be bargained, so don’t forget about these. The good news is some importers can give into 25% reduction on their insurance which is already a big saving!

Love P&G, and Made in Glamorous USA are other tags you are likely to

find on Juicy Couture’s clothes and this is exactly what sets them apart from other designers. Most designers get popular thanks to the celebrities and Hollywood stars, and Juicy also made it big thanks to these only. There are not many celebrities or singers who have not been caught wearing Juicy couture, and this brings in more customers and draws attention from the teenage crowd who want to dress or look like their idols. Jennifer Lopez, Cameron Diaz are couple of celebrities brought in to wear the Juicy couture label and showcase the designs to the world, which was a smart marketing strategy adopted by them.
