It depends on your own country customs rules and regulations. If they allow importers to import generic items from china. Then there will be no such problem. And if not then, import via Dubai or some other country by changing its country of origin labeling.

Quoting from [Admin]:
How do I order generic items from china companies - low quantities, do I need a customs broker? The items would be shipped either dhl or ups.
Hi Wilhelm,
Generic products are usually Pharmaceutical goods.That is they are coppies of the original at half the cost.
A good example of a Generic product is Viaigra.
Here is the Wikipedia Encyclopedia verison:
A generic drug (pl. generic drugs, short: generics) is a drug which is bioequivalent to a brand name drug with respect to pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties. These drugs are usually sold at a lower price than the brand name drug. Generic medicines must contain the same active ingredient at the same strength as the "innovator" brand, be bioequivalent, and are required to meet the same pharmacopoeial requirements for the preparation. By extension, therefore, generics are assumed to be identical in dose, strength, route of administration, safety, efficacy, and intended use.
If I can advice you may it is more economic to by these items at the closest to yoy marcket like wholesale companyies. It is save and the cost may be less than the total management costs.

Develop a good friendship in China. After that you ask this friend to ship to you anything you want. Good Luck
Either low quantities,or bulk quantites first deal personally visit and place the order.This is the best way.
Hallo John,
generic drugs are well known, but Admin asks for generic items !
If your explanation, meets the meaning from Admin, I must assume
that he means nothing else than "counterfeit" or in China often designates "mirror items", all the same drugs or merchandise !
For this my answer is, to order them in China needs no special proceeding, because they know a way to handle it over to DHL or UPS and get a Tracking number,after this they have fulfilled their part in the business, the problem occurs when the sending will be checked by your local customs, it will be seized !
I do not have any experience with UPS, but with DHL I know, that they are very carefully and try to avoid any problems with customs, so they bring anything suspicious for official control, before they make the clearing at their liability ! A typical German behavior !
If I am wrong, Admin please explain what you mean with generic item.
