Frequently asked questions

Confirm the business licence and export rights through a company-verification service, run a pre-shipment inspection or factory audit via SGS or Bureau Veritas, and use secure payment terms such as a Letter of Credit for first orders. Checking whether the seller is a factory or a trading company clarifies pricing and quality control.

The Pearl River Delta (Shenzhen, Dongguan) leads electronics, the Yangtze River Delta (Shanghai, Suzhou, Ningbo) anchors machinery and chemicals, Zhejiang's Yiwu is the world's largest small-commodities market, and Shandong and Jiangsu dominate chemicals. Fujian and Guangdong lead footwear and textiles.

The RCEP agreement lowers duties on qualifying goods traded with ASEAN, Japan, South Korea, Australia, and New Zealand, provided the correct certificate of origin is issued. Buyers should still confirm destination-market anti-dumping exposure, which is common on steel, tyres, and solar products.
