Selling products online can be very competitive and complicated, especially when the political landscape is uncertain and the logistics industry lacks transparency. While China is a manufacturing powerhouse, it isn’t a great fit for fulfillment and logistics. In the past, the alternative was to ship to your country and then fulfill from there. However, this option can be costly.

There is a third option though – Hong Kong!

Why fulfilling from Mainland China isn't ideal

Problem # 1 - Brace Yourself, the Trade War is on
The tariffs for China imports have increased to 25%, and can now be applied to almost any kind of products. If you plan on shipping your products in bulk to a warehouse in the US, you can expect a substantial increase in importing costs.

Problem # 2 - Shipping Quality Varies
The Chinese postal system tends to offer a lower standard of tracking than you’d expect from a service like USPS. This can create anxiety for consumers when they don’t see progress on their shipment.

Problem # 3 - Customs Delays Mean Unhappy Customers
Shipments delivered to the US from China undergo strict inspections from both Chinese and American customs, making delays a norm. Moreover, US Cargos are being delayed for clearance in China due to the uncertainty of the trade policies.

So, what should you do if these products manufactured in China are the bloodlines for your business? Don’t worry, we’ve helped countless US businesses tackle these problems, in turn saving them lots of money and making their customers very happy!
