6 Steps to Import Daily Ceramics From China

Want to buy daily-use ceramics from China in bulk, but don’t know where to start? The following steps are for #1 Newbies who want to start a daily-use ceramics business, try to buy a few items to test the local market. #2 Retailers who used to buy from local wholesale markets, now try to find new products and buy directly from Chinese daily-use ceramics suppliers to save costs. Before you start buying daily-use ceramics from China, you need to understand the entire process of this transaction.

Select suppliers

Check the supplier’s qualifications, production capacity, product quality, past export experience, etc. through the official website of the daily-use ceramics manufacturer to ensure that it meets your requirements.

Inquiry and sample confirmation

Select the daily ceramics products you want to buy by checking the product information on the manufacturer’s official website. Contact the merchant for inquiries. Before purchasing in large quantities, you can ask the supplier to provide samples to evaluate product quality, design and workmanship.

Contract negotiation and signing

Negotiate in detail with the daily ceramics manufacturer on price, quantity, delivery time, payment terms, shipping methods, etc. Once the two parties reach an agreement, a formal purchase contract is signed. The contract should stipulate all terms to ensure the rights and interests of both parties.

Payment and production

Usually, the buyer needs to pay a certain percentage of the deposit (usually about 10% of the total amount) and the supplier starts production. The buyer can monitor the production process to ensure the product meets the requirements. The supplier usually conducts a pre-delivery quality inspection. The buyer can also entrust a third-party inspection agency to conduct an independent quality inspection to ensure that the product meets the contract requirements.

Arrange logistics and transportation

According to the nature and destination of the product, choose a suitable mode of transportation (such as sea, air, or land transportation). Contact the freight forwarding company or transportation company to book space and arrange transportation. When the container arrives in your sea area, the shipping company agent will clear customs and transport the goods to your warehouse.

Receiving goods

After customs clearance is completed, pick up the goods and inspect them to ensure that the received goods meet the contract agreement. If the goods are inspected and accepted, pay the remaining payment. If there are quality problems or other after-sales problems, communicate with the daily-use ceramic supplier in time to solve the problem. Qualified daily ceramics manufacturers usually have very complete after-sales service.
