Made in China Importation StarterKit. The plain-English guide to sourcing, paying, shipping and clearing goods from China.

China can be one of the best places to source products, but a cheap unit price does not automatically mean a profitable purchase. This starter kit shows you how to find the right suppliers, protect your payment, check quality and bring the goods home at a landed cost you have worked out in advance.

Written by Dorcas Kareem, a procurement professional with many years of experience, founder of Next Level Procurement.

Who it is for

Beginners, online sellers, boutiques, small businesses and anyone who wants to import without learning it the expensive way.

Who it is not for

Anyone looking for a guaranteed profit, legal or tax advice, or a list of suppliers that never changes. Prices, rules and platform screens change, and the kit tells you where to re-check them.

FAQ

• Is this a physical book? No. It is a PDF you download instantly and read on any device.
• Do I need experience? No. It is written for beginners and explained in order.
• Is it only for the UK? The customs and tax sections are UK-focused. There are also notes on shipping to Europe, America and Africa.
• Will the numbers stay accurate? Rates and rules change, so the kit shows you where to check the live figures before you commit money.
