How to Order Work Gloves from China Wholesale

Article content:

The demand for workwear and personal protective equipment for workers never declines — and China has plenty to offer! The country offers a huge variety of gloves: from simple latex and textile types to specialized ones that protect against cuts, high temperatures, and chemical exposure.

Work gloves aren’t just for construction. Nitrile gloves are used in medicine, while durable garden gloves are perfect for yard work. All these types can be purchased from China at a great price — and DiFFreight will help you choose, buy, and deliver them.

Where to Buy Gloves from China Wholesale and How to Pay

Start by searching on popular Chinese marketplaces:

Alibaba — a major export platform for wholesalers. Advantages include an English-language interface and price reductions for bulk orders. Multiple payment options make it convenient for international buyers.
Taobao, though considered a retail platform, works well for small wholesale orders. Search for factories or large suppliers. On Taobao, you can find small enterprises that produce gloves made of leather or polyester.
1688 — the largest wholesale marketplace, focused exclusively on business. It’s known for the lowest procurement prices, though foreign buyers face certain restrictions.

In our articles, we’ve detailed how to register on Taobao and 1688. But how do you find a supplier among thousands who offers the best balance of quality, price, and reliability? We provide supplier search in China with document verification and quality control to ensure you receive a product that fully meets your criteria.

One of the common pitfalls when working with Chinese wholesalers is payment processing. Many use Alipay, which cannot be linked to Ukrainian or European cards. DiFFreight offers two ready-made business solutions:

Purchasing from China by link or finding the best products through our buyers. We handle negotiations with the supplier, processing, payment, delivery to the warehouse, and shipment to Ukraine.

Price Comparison: Gloves in China and Ukraine

Buying work gloves wholesale from China is profitable — but how much can you really save? While they’re not a high-margin product, the price difference is still significant. We compared several items from Chinese and Ukrainian marketplaces:

Type of Gloves	Price in China, $	Price in Ukraine, $
Protective nitrile (non-sterile) powder-free gloves	3 (per 100 pcs)	5 (per 100 pcs)
Textile work gloves with PVC dots. Non-slip coating suitable for various tasks.	0.10/pair	0.85/pair
Latex surgical gloves, powder-free, sterile.	0.35/pair	0.60/pair
Household latex gloves. Textured coating, hanging loop.	0.68/pair	4.70/pair
Nitrile protective gloves with textile cuff. Resistant to gasoline, oil, and petroleum products.	0.22/pair	1.50/pair

When ordering large batches, the price will be even lower! The listed cost is approximate and depends on exchange rates, supplier, and material. For current rates, contact our buyers.

How to Deliver Gloves from China Wholesale

The shipment goes through several important stages:

Receipt at the warehouse from the Chinese seller. Usually, the packaging is not designed for international shipping.
Quality inspection. Warehouse services in China allow you to study characteristics, test durability, and detect defects before shipment — saving both money and resources.
Cargo preparation: packaging, labeling, consolidation (if the customer chooses a combined shipment).
Transfer to a shipping line or airline.
Delivery. Currently, shipments from China to Ukraine are multimodal — passing through Poland and other European countries. One leg of the journey is completed by road.
Customs clearance. Brokers prepare the documents provided by the exporter and transport company, complete the declaration, and calculate duties and fees.
Arrival of cargo in Ukraine. DiFFreight delivers goods throughout the country.

We offer turnkey transportation from China — from finding a manufacturer to customs clearance and door-to-door delivery. Trust logistics professionals to establish stable supply chains.

Problems When Ordering Gloves Wholesale

Despite the advantages of working with Chinese partners, wholesale purchases come with several challenges. We know how to solve each of them:

Problem	What DiFFreight Offers
Unreliable wholesaler/factory with a high defect rate: punctures, inconsistent materials, poor density.	We provide photo and video reports for every item.
Difficulty finding a good manufacturer for your own brand.	The best solution is to contact the factory directly — this is the fastest, most convenient, and most cost-effective option. We’ll find a reliable manufacturer for you.
Inaccurate contract.	The contract is the client’s main legal protection. Entrust contract analysis to us — we’ll ensure your interests are fully safeguarded.
Obtaining certificates (especially for medical and specialized gloves).	For legal import and sales in Ukraine, gloves require certification (conformity assessment). Our brokers will help prepare documents and obtain the necessary certificates.
Too small order volume for a full container purchase.	DiFFreight offers consolidation — combined shipments of goods from several clients in one container. This way, you can buy smaller batches and receive them without delays.

Although importing gloves from China is simpler than handling heavy or oversized cargo, there are still certain risks and nuances.
