How to Bring Wallets from China — Business Ideas

One of the most profitable product businesses fits… in your pocket! Wallets and purses can be called a “gold mine”, as they combine a low purchase price, small dimensions for transportation, and constant demand. A small item but a big margin — we explain where to order and how to bring them.

Where to order a wallet from China

The supplier determines the product quality, production time, and final consumer price. For wholesale purchases, the following are suitable:

  1. B2B marketplaces 1688, Alibaba. The first is aimed at the domestic market, and the second at export. The best deals can be found on 1688, but Alibaba is easier for independent purchases thanks to its English interface.
  2. B2C platforms like Taobao and Tmall. Suitable for small wholesale or niche testing (if you're not ready to buy hundreds of units).
  3. Wholesale markets in China. You can contact a factory directly to order branding of ready-made models or production according to your own design. These options are also available on marketplaces.

To avoid communication and payment difficulties, especially on domestic platforms, we recommend product sourcing in China. Our buyers will purchase the product via a link or find the optimal one based on your request.

The assortment of the Chinese market is impressive. In addition to a variety of materials (fabric, eco-leather, genuine leather) and fittings, there are technological models with RFID protection that block data reading from cards and documents.

Price comparison

“Buying wallets wholesale from China is profitable!” — that’s what everyone who works with Chinese suppliers says. But we will demonstrate the benefit in practice: we compared prices for identical or similar accessories on Ukrainian and Chinese marketplaces.

Product Price in Ukraine, $ Price in China, $
Women's wallet with a buckle made of artificial leather, tri-fold, 5 compartments. 13.20 3.62
Card holder with RFID protection made of genuine leather, holds up to 6 cards. 8.48 2.87
Magnetic card wallet (4 slots). Attaches to a smartphone using a magnetic ring. 31.41 3.20
Coin purse with two carabiners. Compact printed accessory made of faux leather. 5.18 1.36
Women's leather clutch wallet in burgundy. 4 banknote compartments, 16 card slots, zip pocket for coins. 25.92 10.89

The retail price is formed taking into account business expenses, including logistics from distant China.


Delivery of wallets, purses, clutches from China

Accessories are not very difficult to transport due to their density and compactness. Import consists of the following stages:

  1. Transfer of cargo to the logistics company.
  2. Preparation for international shipment.
  3. Transfer to an airline or shipping line.
  4. Delivery.
  5. Arrival at customs and clearance.
  6. Door-to-door delivery across Ukraine / pickup from the warehouse.

To simplify procurement, we offer several useful services. For example, warehouse services in China: quality inspection, repackaging, consolidation. Wallets and purses are ideal products for consolidated shipments (transportation with goods from other customers). You save on delivery and can regularly receive small batches. We also provide customs brokerage services. By delegating customs clearance, you reduce the risks of fines and cargo arrest.

Which delivery method should you choose for this cargo? If you buy faux leather wallets wholesale from China and aim to lower the price for customers — choose sea transport. It is the most economical, but also the slowest. For luxury models and urgent deliveries, air transport is suitable. Since accessories are lightweight, the high freight rate may be justified.

Problems when ordering and delivering Chinese wallets

Although wholesale purchasing seems simple, entrepreneurs face several issues. But we know how to solve them thanks to years of experience.

Problem Consequences Solution
Many suppliers — it's unclear whom to choose Choosing the wrong one risks receiving poor-quality products and losing money. Supplier search in China by DiFFreight: preliminary checks, test samples, batch inspection before shipment.
Inaccurate or incomplete contract You may receive the wrong product or quantity, causing delays and disrupted deliveries. Prepare the contract carefully, specifying penalties for defects and delays.
Damage during delivery Goods become unsellable due to moisture or mechanical deformation. Use high-quality packaging that protects from moisture — the main enemy of wallets.
Difficulties in customs clearance Higher duties, fines due to errors or incomplete documents, cargo confiscation. Hire a customs broker — do not risk the goods.

Special certification is not required for selling accessories.

Which wallets from China cannot be imported wholesale

The main prohibition is related to intellectual property rights violations. Replicas — exact copies of famous global brands — cannot be imported. It is forbidden to place someone else’s logo on your product or use someone else’s patents without permission. During customs clearance, such goods will be seized.

If you plan to import wallets, clutches, or purses from the latest trends, contact a customs broker. Sometimes it is enough to make a few design changes to avoid problems.
