It is quite evident that trading with China promises significant financial prospects today. Simply establishing regular procurement of wholesale batches of goods on Chinese marketplaces, supplying them to the Ukrainian market, and then selling them wholesale or retail can yield substantial profits.
However, merely having the desire to initiate trading operations with China is not enough to actually earn on the Asian market. Like any other business endeavor, this ambitious and promising economic project should be approached with intelligence.
Competent and careful search for a manufacturer or supplier begins with a thorough examination of their official online resources in the World Wide Web. Often, Chinese manufacturers have their own websites, with information presented in both Chinese and English languages.
Based on the overall time of the website's existence, the quality of its design, the information provided about the company, its management, and contact details, initial correct conclusions can usually be made regarding the justification of cooperation with this supplier. Below is a list of the most reliable in terms of fulfilling procurement contracts and the most promising in terms of speculative profit from Chinese marketplaces.
The online retail market, internet shop, and internet auction Taobao, which is the brainchild of the famous billionaire Jack Ma, is a marketplace with a wide range of goods in all popular price segments. On Taobao, you can purchase clothing, shoes, and household appliances. This platform is mainly oriented towards the domestic market.
Another brainchild of Jack Ma, the B2B web portal Alibaba.com, provides its clients with the following opportunities:
The large Chinese-language website m.1688.com is primarily a wholesale marketplace. It employs the concept of a minimum purchase volume, which is measured by either the number of purchased units of product or the amount spent on purchasing the product from one seller.
Sometimes, the supplier fulfills retail orders before delivering one unit of goods. In this case, its cost is usually significantly higher than within the wholesale batch.
Aliexpress is the international version of 1688, which is more comfortable for our buyer because the Chinese sales department on Aliexpress is oriented towards foreign consumers, thus providing full English-language support and all necessary conditions for comfortable purchases. Wholesale/retail - all included. You can also find the factory manufacturer. Often, the departments of the same manufacturer from 1688 and Ali are not related to each other at all.
Customers of the Tmall trading platform can rely on the fact that planned deals will be successful. The guarantee of such confidence is the fact that sellers on this marketplace are legal entities that collect documentary evidence of the reality of their company and brand.
Characteristics of the service on Tmall include:
On the JD marketplace, conscientious Chinese manufacturers trade, among which there are many recognized market leaders. On this resource, you can purchase:
JD has gained popularity in China as a supplier of quality home appliances. That is why
This site supplies directly from manufacturers. It has a logistics service, so the goods are delivered to the customer without delay, and all products are 100% original. Therefore, prices on JD are usually higher.
Important! Pay attention to details, as even on 1688 it often happens that when adding the required quantity of goods to the cart, it automatically changes to more on the official page. Thus, due to carelessness, you can pay for unnecessary goods. Clarify all the necessary information and details that interest you with the supplier before payment, namely the availability and relevance of the price (mandatory), marking of boxes with goods and their quantity (for the receiving warehouse and faster shipment), as well as other points that interest you (manufacturing deadlines), individual characteristics, etc.
The choice of a Chinese marketplace directly depends on the specifics of your business. It's important to understand your objective and the nature of your activities—whether you are trading finished goods or engaged in manufacturing.
