On the other hand I feel I am quite entreprenuerial, good at sales and have always wanted to start my own business importing/exporting goods from china. I have done a great deal of research on this and am at a stage where its pretty much a matter of travelling to china, buy a specific stock from suppliers ive found, and sell online/ebay/wholesale. (Yes it will not be nearly as straightforward as this and I do recognise the risk involved)
Thanks very much in advance - your advice is hugely appreciated!
What do want to import from China.
I was toying with the idea of importing my renovation materials accross. I Have reviewed some papers and there seems to be savings of up to $20k after everything considered (Obviously depends on size or how many renos).
Need to make sure if it is for the B&C Industry, you wiil need to ensure your supply chain and factories make goods to the AS. (Heaps of things to look out for. ie fire retardance of carpet underlays, timbers, etc, etc)
By going over their first hand is the best. Get some independent testing done as well and even get some factories to send over some samples and test results. Have heard this is quite a common request. Need to just make sure that the test report relates to the batch, as I have had some propblems with this on a different scale before.
Would be interested to hear what you are looking to source.
Cheers.
