Every year, more than half a billion backpacks are sold worldwide, and this number continues to grow. Another indisputable fact is that over 70% of this massive volume is manufactured in China. Purchasing backpacks wholesale is an opportunity to enter a niche with high income potential that will remain relevant in the foreseeable future. How to start importing from the Middle Kingdom and how DiFFreight can help — we explore in this article.
The niche is diverse: women's, men's, children's models, for tourism, sports, city, travel. Available materials include nylon, polyester, artificial and genuine leather, quality plastic and metal fittings — any models can be ordered from China.
DiFFreight implements supplier search in China for all business models:
For a secure order, we conduct a thorough check of business licenses and the activities of the company/wholesaler.
Another useful service is product purchasing in China with two tariffs at 5% and 10%. Buyers quickly purchase backpacks with the required fabrics, technologies, and designs. It's simple — you add links to a shared spreadsheet with the buyer, specify your wishes: whether you want to receive samples, order branding, quantity, specifications, and price in yuan.
Don’t know how to choose a profitable product? Look for ideas in the TOP-100 high-margin catalog.
The 10% tariff includes batch inspection at the warehouse: staff photograph each type of product (3-5 photos), count quantities, and check for damages.
A well-drafted contract is of great importance. Our staff successfully conducts negotiations in Chinese, which means better conditions and prices for clients. DiFFreight helps businesses find reliable suppliers with whom it is profitable to cooperate on a long-term basis!
Let's compare in the table the cost of different models on one Ukrainian and Chinese marketplace.

The purchase price of backpacks wholesale from China will be even lower!
Definitely, the most budget-friendly method will be sea freight in containers. For small and medium businesses, consolidation is best — that is, combined shipment with other cargo:
Usually, sea delivery from China to Ukraine takes 60-75 days, the price per m3 is from $190. For backpacks, this is the best method because the product packs well in boxes, with good film, it is not afraid of moisture, and does not spoil. If necessary, we add packaging to ensure maximum preservation.
Buying backpacks wholesale from China seems very simple at first glance, but entrepreneurs often forget about hidden pitfalls and logistics nuances.
Checklist on how to avoid risks:
Especially if you plan to buy a large batch at once — don’t let your investments burn! On marketplaces and trading platforms, the "Verified Supplier" mark and payment protection help. But with direct cooperation, it’s better to order an inspection from an agent in China.
Carefully check the text: all agreements must be documented. Usually, the contract is duplicated in Chinese and English.
Check the assortment and prices from several suppliers. Don’t hesitate to write to them to clarify conditions. Often, wholesalers are ready to offer discounts, free samples, or additional services at reduced prices to retain customers.
Legal import with payment of all duties and taxes allows selling without restrictions: in your store, on marketplaces, in retail chains. And many companies require a full set of documents. Cargo customs won’t help you, even if it’s cheaper.
Export in China works like clockwork, but for beginners, the process seems extremely complicated. You have to consider many nuances: whom to buy from, how to bring it to Ukraine, where to find cheap freight, how to pass customs without problems and quickly.
Therefore, the logistics company DiFFreight acts as an intermediary for profitable orders in the Middle Kingdom. We provide a full range of services for business — from factory search and purchase to transportation and customs brokerage.
