Hi All! My name is Kyle Allen, I have been in sale's for along time and have always wanted to get into international trade it has been my dream of sorts. I have done tons of research but I thought a little personal experience and input would make as much of an impact as research would. As much as I have looked into trends and found what i think would be a very good profitable product I still can't figure out how to go about getting my dream on a roll.?. So if anyone can give me a hand getting a headstart it would be greatly appreciated! Maybe some hints on how to go about contacting the manufacturer/buyer, How do i know the products that i am choosing are going to be of good quality,etc... Any information or directions that you may have taken to become successful in this line of work will help out greatly! Thank you

The easiest and fastest way to start importing from China is as you know finding your product that you plan on importing, also start searching for reliable factories. Have a look on AliBaba and find as many factories and suppliers as you possibly can and start getting quotes, find out what the minimum order quantity is and start getting prices. The next step is to shortlist these suppliers by the quotes that they give you. Then you order samples from these factories and test out the samples. You will probably need to pay for these depending on how the factory sees your business and the scope of how much you plan of ordering in the future. This is just a start on importing from China I hope it helps.

I have tried to research numerous factories or suppliers and havent found much useful information. Thanks for the help and anything else is greatly appreciated! Kyle Allen
