Business hacks: how to find a manufacturer in China

Or, after the birth of a child, they abandoned the lighting store and decided to switch to baby clothes and toys. How to find suppliers among hundreds of thousands of Chinese factories? This topic is the subject of multi-page threads on the forums. "Chinese compote" is divided into several effective ways.
Method number 1: Alibaba
Alibaba.com is an ingenious B2B marketplace. It is the world's largest online wholesale marketplace and has already surpassed eBay and Amazon combined in terms of transaction volume. The site also has a Russian version, as well as many other versions. Alibaba to help you. Source: bidnessetc.comA catalog and a search bar are available - you can easily find a manufacturer who is able to produce the desired product. But there is a catch. The manufacturer may turn out to be (and in most cases will turn out to be) not a representative of the factory, but an intermediary - with all that it implies.
It is very difficult to distinguish a seller from a manufacturer without a visit to the place, and sometimes the mission is impossible in principle. This type of fraud is in full bloom in China. Therefore, you should not, having found an interesting offer on alibaba.com, immediately place an order.
It is often impossible to distinguish a manufacturer from an intermediary online. Source: china-cultural-consultancy.com The site is needed primarily in order to navigate the proposed circumstances. You can “probe” the market segment you are interested in, including compare prices. Before bargaining and serious negotiations, the announced amounts are something like the average temperature in the hospital, but these figures will not hurt you.
And also, rummaging through alibaba.com, you will find out in which region of China the product you are interested in is made. Find a nest, sorry, cluster. Industrial. You will know where to go when you decide to visit the factories. Knowing where the cluster is located, it is possible to cover several enterprises in one trip.
Method number 2: Canton Fair
It is the largest trade show in China and one of the largest in the world, held in the southern city of Guangzhou twice a year - in spring and autumn. Manufacturers from all over the Middle Kingdom and not only come to show themselves and to see others - the number of laowai participants is growing every year.
The Canton Fair is the largest trade fair in China. Source: xl-scan.com We already have good advice on how to behave at a trade fair. Let's add a couple more, for, so to speak, a complete set.
If you have already decided to go, do not rush to take a plane ticket for the opening. Both the spring and autumn fairs are held in three stages, that is, manufacturers of different groups of goods alternately replace each other. For example, factories producing household appliances occupy the pavilions at the first stage - in April and October. You can get to know the manufacturers of sporting goods at the third stage - in May and October. Etc.
Email factories you are interested in and schedule an appointment during the Canton Fair
And just before the trip, think back to school times and do your homework. Write to factories you are interested in and schedule an appointment during the fair. The Chinese will appreciate this move and will welcome you as an old acquaintance. And don't worry that the manufacturer of your dreams may not be in the Canton Fair. If this is at least a little self-respecting office - it will. And the rest you, in all honesty, do not need, for nothing that is cheaper.
Even if the Chinese supplier has made the most wonderful impression on you, do not rely on intuition and visit the factory.
Method number 3: Panjiva
O throwing aside all prejudices, we must thank the capitalists for the opportunities they give us. For example, any cargo that is cleared by customs in America is accompanied by a waybill. Information from the document is often shared - they have to play there openly. There are companies that collect this data, organize it and then - no, do not merge it, but sell it in the form of a subscription to access the database. An initial subscription to Panjiva service costs $ 99 / month. You can use the limited version for free.For example, you decided to sell rubber boots. Search the Internet to find American (or British, or German - geographically wide) companies that import similar goods. Then - search for information about these firms in the Panjiva database.
Global database of trades. Are you optimizing your business, developing it, or are you going to open a new business focused on supplies from China? Maybe you would like to know how you can work and cooperate with Chinese partners? Then this article is for you.
You will learn how to find suppliers of goods from China, how not to make typical mistakes that 80% of all entrepreneurs make and figure out how to take the first steps in working with Chinese partners. First of all, the article is designed for Russian entrepreneurs, but it will also be useful for novice participants in foreign economic activity from the Commonwealth of Independent States.
How to find a Chinese supplier
One of the most important stages in finding Chinese suppliers of goods is to clearly understand what, specifically, you expect from a new partner. To this end, it is best to compile a list by type of commercial proposal. Include the parameters of the desired product in it, everything except the price. And also make another list, but with prices. When you see fit, you can transfer the second list to your Chinese partners. It is better to write prices as approximate and in the range from minimum to maximum.
When you are done with this stage, analyze with whom you better cooperate, with large manufacturers or with small suppliers. Most give priority to large suppliers, but keep in mind that along with the high probability of a successful closing of the deal, you will receive higher prices than small Chinese suppliers of goods. Also, large suppliers can dictate the volume and frequency of delivery, the so-called minimum partner package, cooperation with them is beneficial mainly for large companies, they have the opportunity to conclude both large and long-term transactions.
Exhibitions in China are a great way to find a supplier.
Today in China, in some industries, there has been a tendency for the formation of medium-sized enterprises. So, for example, in the construction business, caused by the surge in construction in the Middle Kingdom itself, there are a lot of such companies. If you are planning to supply building materials or light industry products, you will have an unusually gigantic choice of contractors. It is easy to cooperate with medium-sized companies, but it is necessary to draw up "tough" contracts for one hundred percent implementation of transactions.
Small businesses, no less than medium-sized ones, are mostly family businesses. When choosing souvenirs or other small products, you can choose them, most like to work without a contract and in small batches, since their production volumes are less than that of large and medium-sized companies.
Well, and finally, intermediaries, you can find them easily and faster if you need a product from China. Many companies use their services, they are more flexible and you can cooperate with them for the first deals. Some firms even have their own subsidiary legal entities in the CIS countries, which greatly facilitates the contract signing and negotiation process.
Let's talk about another type of companies that exist in Russia and, of course, in China. These are intermediaries between manufacturers and you. They provide services to find the right supplier. Their advantage lies in the fact that they have their representatives in various cities, which, in addition to knowing the Chinese languages, for the reference of those in China 8, have agreements with many manufacturers in the cities and provinces where these representatives work.
If you are looking for wholesale suppliers, there are two options:
- First... To independently go to a major exhibition in China, they are held in many large cities.
- Second option... Contact the regional chamber of commerce and industry and arrange to include you in the official delegation to visit the exhibition. Now such trips have become more frequent. For reference, this method is more beneficial in that it increases the possibility of a successful execution of the transaction, as well as it is possible to provide tangible discounts, moreover, immediately.
- The third option- relevant for small purchases. You can use the Aliexpress service and order the product you need there. You can be confident in the execution of the transaction or in the return of money to you, Aliexpress has been tested by time for many years. Learn more about how to start a business in China.
Legal assistance should not be neglected.
How to find a supplier in China - step by step instructions
Algorithm of actions for an independent search for a supplier:
There is a practice of concluding contracts by means of electronic signature, in this case you will also need the help of a professional lawyer. It is necessary that he understands the intricacies of the transaction and the possibility of signing such an agreement between residents of different countries.
To minimize risks, an offer should be sent to the Chinese counterparty, after he accepts it, you can start working.
China and Russia signed the Vienna Convention on International Trade. This document regulates export-import contracts concluded as a result of the offer and its acceptance. What does it mean, you may know from the previous article. Read what a public offer agreement is.
How to get around scammers
There is no one-size-fits-all way to bypass scammers... They are constantly mimicking. But, special attention should be paid to drawing up a competent contract, and not with a one-day company.
The contract must state that the customer must be notified in writing of the subcontracted work by the contractor. This point will help you to maintain the initially declared quality of the goods, in which case, most manufacturers do not agree to transfer work to subcontractors.
And if you want to completely exclude various subcontracted works that have not been entered into the contract, then you should register an item or make an application with permitted subcontracting works and then indicate that all others are prohibited.
Seriously be wary of buying small batches of electronics from small and medium-sized manufacturers, this may be, to put it mildly, a substandard product. It is best to carry out in large quantities and from large certified manufacturers, then you will be satisfied with both the price and quality. If, of course, you have the opportunity to cooperate with these suppliers.
Sly Chinese sellers can hack their competitors' emails and send commercial offers to your mail instead, it is best to create an alternative mail to work with Chinese suppliers and track what came from where.
provides a large trading floor with many shops. You can buy goods here not only by the piece, but also in bulk. Most of the goods have free shipping anywhere in the world. Let's discuss with you how to find wholesale suppliers for profitable cooperation.
How to find a good reliable Chinese wholesale supplier, manufacturer on Aliexpress?
Wholesale purchases have some nuances to be aware of.
As a rule, when you buy several items at once, a discount is automatically provided, but this is only for goods in one order and only if the seller has indicated a decrease in the price for the quantity. In addition, sellers often give a discount for a specific purchase price from their store. The latter is provided in the form.
Discounts on Aliexpress
The most profitable purchase will be a ready-made lot with a certain amount of goods. It can be 5, 10, or 200 products. It is much easier to search for such things using a special filter. It will be visible when you open the catalog with the desired products.
You can specify any number in the filter, or you don't need to write it. After entering, press the key "OK" and you will be shown the offers you need.
By the way, if you find a suitable item with free shipping, then on the description page or when placing an order, you can select the number of pieces. Usually, when the quantity of an item changes, the shipping cost rises, especially if the item is large and heavy. For example, one T-shirt does not need a lot of space, and therefore the delivery is free, but 15 T-shirts are already a large and heavy package. Therefore, it is better to buy in small batches or by the piece.
Also, do not forget about customs clearance of goods. Usually it is not required and your parcel will be passed without problems, but several factors affect the success of crossing the border - weight, size, quantity of goods, cost. For example, if you order a phone and 3 talking hamsters, then the parcel will be passed without any problems. But when you buy 10 phones or 10 toys, most likely, the goods are slowed down, and you will be asked to pay the state duty. Moreover, the latter sometimes costs a lot, which makes the product very expensive.
All orders for Aliexpress are folded into separate parcels and sent from the region of China where the seller lives. Although there are intermediary sellers who work with factories and factories who send purchases from their warehouses. Here the principle of operation is the same, but the seller is not responsible for shipping and delivery, this responsibility is assigned to the factory or distributor.
It should also be said that if you want to make a wholesale order and get an additional discount, it makes sense to contact the seller and bargain.
Some things have a signature "Wholesale price" and if you hover the mouse over it, you can see what the price will be for a bulk order. It also indicates how many things you need to buy in order for the price to become wholesale.
How to negotiate a wholesale purchase with a seller on Aliexpress?
Before paying for the order, it is advisable to contact the seller and discuss the details of the order. He will help you to make sure that there is no need to clear the parcel and pay for its delivery. So, too large parcels at customs slow down, so it is better to make several small orders. So, you need to clarify the following points:
- How much do you need to buy to get the discount
- What will be the final price
- How many things should be in the parcel so that you do not have to pay shipping and customs duties
Be sure to conduct all calculations through the internal system. Aliexpress... Otherwise, you may be deceived. If the seller does not provide for a price reduction when buying a wholesale, then first agree with him on its reduction. After that, you can put the product in the basket and place an order, but without payment.
The purchase will be displayed in the section "My orders" pending payment
But only when you see that the seller has changed the price, then pay
By the way, the seller needs to communicate in English. If you do not know it, then use, for example, the Google translator. You just need to enter a Russian phrase and it will be automatically translated.

The search for a reliable supplier should follow the strategy you have developed, which will require you to possess information, know your own business, and be efficient.
Experts advise for this:
To finally understand what you need, in other words, process the available information about suppliers and choose the option how you will organize it. Recommendations from successful businessmen are:
who you will be guided by in your search, the manufacturer of the products or the reseller of the supplier;
you need a large company in the market for the production of goods or a family business;
there are second-hand suppliers, and there are suppliers who can do design work;
you need a business partner who manufactures products from start to finish, or who only deals with assembly work in their workshops.
Organize your answers to these questions. With the available information on the supply of the products you need from China, and you will decide who you specifically need, who you need to look for for your business. If you want to start with a small store. A family business in China might be fine.

To find the necessary information about the product that you want to sell, use the maximum number of all possible resources. Remember, search engines in the TOP 100 reflect the necessary and reliable information on the questions asked. You can expand the range of searches and find out the competition in sales, which will give the basis for building your own scheme, selling products in advance.
There are online catalogs of manufacturers of products in China on the Internet, there are also contact numbers and e-mail, you can better find out the parameters of the products you need.
By contacting potential suppliers, you can narrow the circle of them to choose, leaving only those who suit your requirements. In communication, you can learn more about the partner with whom you will work later.
If there is an opportunity in your search to rely on a local (Chinese) entrepreneur, inquire about the activities of your chosen supplier.
Search through exhibitions
How to find a Chinese supplier of products directly and establish a stable supply of the products you need at low prices ─ this dilemma always faces a novice entrepreneur.
It often happens that haste in this matter can lead to consequences such as:
disruption of the regularity of supplies;
loss of store profits;
breaking off relations and closing a business.
In cities with a large population, foreign manufacturers very often present their products, make exhibitions and test sales.
The goods that are exhibited are very different, they are:
footwear and clothing;
consumer goods for the population;
souvenir products;
cosmetic sets;
Home Appliances;
mobile devices and other products.
By exhibiting their own products at trade shows, large companies pursue their own interests, this is:
find a good reseller wholesaler;
find a buyer for your products.
A large number of different goods are offered at exhibitions, and every novice businessman can find a reliable supplier there.
Visiting exhibitions is also a definition in the development of products chosen for trade, knowledge of its tendencies towards changes that life dictates. At specialized exhibitions, you can conclude contracts with several suppliers at once.
At the exhibition, you communicate directly with representatives of product manufacturers, so you need to conduct a conversation like a businessman interested in their product. Show the seriousness of your intentions. You can always find out with whom the company represented at the exhibition already has partnerships in your region of residence, and where you want to conduct your business. The reliability of supplies can be checked with colleagues in your region, if the supplier is not reliable, they will inform you about this.
Experts note the following:
By visiting organized specialized exhibitions of foreign products in Russia, you can easily find business partners.
It is necessary from the first conversations with the supplier's representatives to declare your intentions to work with them, in partnership, to show that your store will not do with a one-time purchase of products.
Show potential supplier of products that your cooperation will be of mutual benefit. Ask about the possibility of first trial shipments or providing a sample of products to study the demand in the region.
Always conclude an agreement of intent with several suppliers, then there will be the right to choose one partner.
It is necessary to choose the supplier you need according to the criteria, but we must not forget that various organizational and legal norms operate in China, which have their own plus for business, as well as minus.
One of the reliable suppliers of products is State Owned Enterprises, whose advantages include stability in supplies, but working with it, a Russian entrepreneur is faced with a developed bureaucracy in simple matters. Therefore, working with smaller companies is much easier, since there are fewer bureaucratic delays, but you need to pay attention to the quality of the products.
When opening a store, one must not forget that small batches at first will cost you more when the order is through a large supplier of products. There is a likelihood of encountering such a situation when products from a large manufacturer are presented, but in fact they are produced by a family company. For this reason, it is necessary to make sure and reflect in the contract that the products are produced exactly where indicated in the documents.
Finding a supplier through wholesale stores
One of the ways that start-up entrepreneurs use when answering the question of how to find a supplier from China for a store is the Internet, which removes many risks at first, when the order goes through large Russian wholesalers. As for the suppliers, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with the material - "".
One of these companies is Sima-Land, it offers the following products for sale, these are:
home products (household appliances);
goods for children (from food to furniture);
clothing for the population;
souvenirs and jewelry;
tools and electrical goods;
play complexes and other products.
Consider the advantages of an entrepreneur in working with such a company, it is:
There is no risk of losing the finances invested in the product, since it is purchased already in Russia. The presence of a network of delivery of goods in large companies. Safety of goods during transportation.
A large assortment allows you to fully satisfy the needs of your store in one place. The assortment of goods provided is constantly updated.
The wholesale supplier in Russia is responsible for the quality of the products.
China is a developed system of manufacturing various goods at low cost, and working through large Russian wholesalers with a minimum margin, you can end up with good products at a cost that meets your needs.
What is a preliminary supplier audit for?
A situation may arise when a novice businessman saw samples of products of a Chinese company of suitable quality and price at an exhibition, he concludes a contract with her for the supply of goods based on the presented several good reviews about it. Here, the entrepreneur may be in danger, since specialized exhibitions are only a starting point for the supplier's choice, and not the end point.
Often, Chinese representatives participate in exhibitions for a certain amount of money, and the organizers do not have any questions about the veracity of the production volumes of this company, and what quality it produces. For this reason, it is necessary to conduct an audit of this company before concluding a contract.
This can be done as follows:
ask for product licenses, what certificates are there;
find out with which clients the firm already has cooperation;
find out more information about the company in government agencies that regulate the supply of products from China.
The Chinese resources Taobao and Alibaba have proven themselves well, where you can buy almost everything you need to open your store on the Internet. The Aliexpress purchasing service is not inferior to these wholesalers, where low prices and a huge selection of assortments are offered.
What is a trial order for?

To do this, a businessman will need a small list of potential counterparties, at least 10 firms, to conduct a preliminary audit, which will reduce it by half.
When you decide on 3 potential suppliers, you can contact them for trial orders, you need to carefully track the following indicators of cooperation, these are:
how freely communication with a possible partner is given;
what is the promptness of a potential counterparty to your request;
whether your wishes are taken into account when making a trial batch of an order;
timeliness of delivery.
Experts advise, at first, always to have several options for supplying the products you need.
Deliveries from China via the Internet
Using the statistics of access to Internet resources, you can see that many entrepreneurs are looking for ─ how to find a supplier from China for aliexpress, a procurement resource where you can find everything. Large purchasing sites provide protection for entrepreneurs who purchase goods in bulk in the form of a refund, when the product is not delivered or has a different appearance not in the description of the product.
Chinese products, for the start of business, in retail trade are beneficial for the entrepreneur, even a small store can give tangible profits when the supplier of products is chosen correctly.
The Aliexpress product procurement resource gives the entrepreneur an advantage, it is:
product delivery guarantee up to 3 months;
low selling price of goods;
a large selection, the assortment will satisfy the most demanding demand;
security of transactions;
organization of regular supplies for the selected supplier;
the ability to pay for products in various ways.
