As the world spreading China is the most potential market in this world and no doubt there are mass chances of business oppotunities for your local traders,whatever retailers,wholesalers,shop owners,distributers etc.in nowadays we have made great advance in the business relations between U.S. and China.as a Chinese I want to explane the easy ways to do business from China.

Every buyer want to do foreign trading,he needs to know the cost,shipping charge,production time,delivery time,sample availability,certificate,production capacity and so on.and when you contact one Chinese manufacturer(I mean you want to import from it).
ENDu?
5}&k;n9Q~1g rM8i
1,You are not only have to know the FOB price but also the shipping charge,no worries about the price of shipping because China have large quantities of forwarders.and the price is rather competitive in your company.so when you require a price of the product please do not hesitate to let your business friend to quote you including shipping.

2,If you have your local client,so you can inquire your biz pal for all photos to attract your customer or make catalogues,in this EC period you can almost get everything useful details at computer.and you can add the shipping period along with production time for your delivery time.
*J6L"yck

3,For payment,you cam also receive the amount of your client,then T/T the deposit for small orders.and sometimes Chinese manufacturer will insist receiving balance before delivery for small orders,as a matter of fact you can ask your biz pal to take all pictures of your finished products,and after one business all Chinese factories will trust you for sure.

4,For MOQ that will depend on the CBM,every foreign trader know the CBM is very useful for the LCL shipping.in that case you can let your pal to quote you one price USD/cbm,then you can confirm the order quantity to him.that he will calculate CBM for the final price.that will be very useful to you.and yout decision of the MOQ will be made.(just for LCL and big volume goods)

5,sample.every Chinese will insist free sample with freight collect,do not be doubtful about their sincerity.because all procedures are just to justify if you are a real buyer.so if you really want to do business,do not hesitate to pay the freight charge.and you can imagine,China is the one of the largest market in the world.how many demands of sample requirement will be received per day.

Many factories are requiring deposit because they are worried about the risk.as a matter of fact many factories do not have the capavility to endure the money advanced for you.and for trading companies they will pay in advance for your goods because without receiving the balance the factory will not despatch the goods.
