Importing from China to India has proven a successful tactic of global sourcing for many businesses. This presents a fantastic opportunity for you as a buyer and reseller. How to Import goods from China to India successfully is a question every newbie or a first-timer has been asking.
The importing process can be extremely complex, confusing, and costly. Expected gains can often be erased by long transit times, rising or fluctuating delivery costs, regulatory fees, and unexpected delays.
If you are worried about quality, don’t listen to the horror stories. As long as you spend time talking to your supplier, check their reputation, ask for a sample, and start with a small order first, you shouldn’t have any problems.
