Quoting from [Richard NIan]:
ImPort and export is becoming easier than ever because business globalization is here. however there is some popular products are hot in each year. what will become major hot goods to import and export in next a few year? exclude weapons when you post something new, thanks a lot !
The hot product will attract many exporters and importers, and such a market will not be easy to stay in for long. The markets demand will fill up quick, and it use to be lower prices as the market is flooded. If you act first just before everybody smell it may be good for a while.
In this situation it is not the product making your succes, its your marketing skill.
I think its better to work with products which has demand over long time, and are to a extent uniqe on the market. Its should be something you have a lot of knowledge of both the products and the market. A product you can build up the success for your importers and yourself for a long time. If possible try to make a known brand, develop the product over time.
We use all sorts of products in this world, you have to find those which you can handle better over the average competition.
