Selection Needs

Some products will be restricted by logistics companies and are not allowed to transport such products, such as liquids, cosmetics, flammable and explosive products, electronic cigarettes, lighters, etc.
- Whether it complies with local laws and regulations
The most important point before selecting products is to understand the laws and regulations regarding the import of local products.
Otherwise, if you only find out that your product is prohibited from being sold by local regulations when you are about to put it on the shelves, then the previous efforts will be wasted, wasting time and energy.

Purchase These Products
After the selection, how do we purchase these products?
Wholesale market purchases
We have set up a branch in Yiwu so that we can purchase from the Yiwu market and supply at the best price and the fastest speed； Buying goods in the wholesale market requires strong bargaining power, striving to keep the batch price to a minimum, and at the same time establish a good relationship with wholesalers.
Find the source of goods around you
For example, relatives and friends around you have sellers who operate some wholesale or physical stores. You might as well try this method, which can get the lowest price more effectively and reduce the pressure of starting a lot in the early stage. This method needs to be explored. Not every seller has such resources around.
Factory direct purchase
Regular manufacturers have sufficient supply and high credibility. If they cooperate for a long time, they can generally win product exchange. However, in general, the starting batch of the manufacturer is relatively high, which is not suitable for small wholesale customers. If you have sufficient capital reserves, and distribution channels, there is no danger of overstocking. If you are not afraid of overstocking, you can go to the manufacturer to purchase.
The above is our product selection channels and procurement channels. We will select hot-selling products for customers according to the market and then look for a high-quality supply chain to provide customers with the fastest and quality supply.
Looking forward to your choice~
