What Can I Import From China?

The simple answer to this is ANYTHING and EVERYTHING. In Chinese culture, nothing’s impossible. Not necessarily simple, but certainly possible.

Many, if not the majority of wholesalers in Australia already import from China either from manufacturers or distributors. Depending on the products they import, these wholesalers then on-sell to manufacturers, other distributors, retail stores, offices and online throughout Australia. If you are selling on EBay you can be sure that your ‘power seller’ competitors are already buying their goods directly from China.

In the past, only larger Australian businesses were in a position to import from China, mainly because of the large quantities they had to buy to get good prices. At that time only the larger manufacturers/wholesalers in China were in a position to export, but now thousands of new manufacturers have started up and most of these are not particular about minimum quantities – they just want to get business.

If you want to develop your business by finding new or customised products as well as lower prices, importing directly from China is the way to go. And the beauty is that Chinese manufacturers and distributors can supply practically anything for almost any type of business.
For Australian manufacturers they can supply all types of components, disposables and customised packaging such as boxes, bottles, jars, as well as finished products to complement your own products. They can also assist is mass-producing your own designed products at a much lower cost than doing it yourself in Australia. With new patent and copyright laws now being enforced in China, your patented designs are now much safer than before.

For retailers they can supply all types of finished products – clothing, electronics, furniture, appliances, giftware, tools, accessories etc.

For the construction industry they can supply timber, flooring, carpets, tiles, kitchen and bathroom fittings, wall sheeting, insulation and all types of fixings, accessories and disposables.

For offices they can supply office furniture, partitions, electronics, stationery and hardware, etc.

For the online entrepreneur they can supply anything that can be sold online – and that means practically everything. Dropshipping is becoming a more common approach to supplying individual products.
So in reality you do not have to be a big established company, or an import expert to begin taking advantage of the profits that can be made when they import from China.
