China still remains the world leader in textile production, and one of the profitable niches is headwear. Ukrainian entrepreneurs choose the PRC thanks to its wide assortment, material selection, and of course, affordable prices. But business success depends not only on suppliers and products, but also on well-established procurement and logistics processes.
First, let’s look at the main types of headwear that generate profit:
The wholesale market of China offers an excellent assortment of the latest trends, classics, budget materials, and luxury wool or high-quality fleece. Men’s, women’s, and children's accessories in various styles are available.
Supplier search in China should begin with:
After primary selection based on price and description, order test samples. We offer product purchasing in China with preliminary audits of wholesalers or manufacturers: collaborate only with reliable partners.
Logistics requires thorough planning and rate calculation to ensure budget-friendly transportation. Here are the main steps:
Headwear (except workwear) does not require special certificates.
Even such simple goods as hats or caps may cause issues in purchasing and logistics.
| Problem | Consequences | DiFFreight Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Poor batch quality | The entrepreneur pays for shipping and customs clearance of goods that cannot be sold, resulting in losses. | Pre-shipment inspection — try our warehouse services in China. |
| Damage during transport | Headwear with a rigid brim (e.g., caps and hats) is sensitive to deformation. | Additional packaging for international logistics if the supplier did not provide it. |
| Errors and inaccuracies in documents | Delays in customs clearance, fines, confiscation. | Customs broker support — let professionals handle the paperwork. |
These problems are not relevant for dropshipping, but that is an entirely different business model.

For some, the main advantage of cooperation with China is the production of very accurate replicas. However, enormous similarity and someone else’s logos are a direct path to problems at customs. Goods may be seized if they are exact copies or replicas of well-known brands, as this violates intellectual property rights.
If you plan to import goods with high similarity:
A broker can help you understand the nuances of copyright — get a consultation even before import. Delivery of goods from China to Ukraine that contain fur and other parts of endangered animal species is also prohibited.
We offer not only logistics services but also consulting on procurement, supplier search, warehouse inspection in China, and provide a broker.

The best approach is to order samples and request a pre-shipment inspection at a Chinese warehouse. This helps verify materials, brim stiffness, stitching quality and color consistency.
Common risks include brim deformation, loss of shape, moisture damage and poor packaging. That’s why reinforced packaging is essential.
Air shipping is ideal for urgent or trendy collections. Sea freight with consolidation is more cost-effective for large or budget batches.
Yes. You must specify the correct HS code, provide the invoice and packing list, and ensure the product description is accurate. Errors may lead to delays and fines.
