How to Import Wedding Dresses from Factory in China

Whether you want to open a brick-and-mortar store or an online shop to sell wedding dresses or other formal dresses, the supplier is really necessary. Brick-and-mortar store needs certain inventory, and online sellers need to show some product pictures for consumers to choose from. Then how to import garments from China safely? Here we would talk about it.

Where to find the best supplier? Guangzhou and Suzhou are the primary wedding dress export cities of China, on some large B2B platforms, you will find that almost all of the wedding dress factories are from these two cities. If your budget allows you to visit China, you’d better conduct a field study and have a closer look at their factories. Thus, you can judge their specific capacity and comprehensive strength. Certainly, using search engine, such as Google or Bing, to find and filter manufacturers is also a very good method. But the relevant risk is higher.

If you are lucky enough to find a reliable factory, the next step is to order the sample dress. This step should never be omitted. You can judge them through these aspects: material, production process, and making time. Ordering a wedding dress sample, of course, can also help some beginner to acquaint with the relevant process of the overseas import. It will certainly help for wholesaling related products in the future. Usually if your purchase quantity is not large enough, the price will be relatively higher. Wedding dress is not like other small accessories. Manufacturers usually don’t provide free samples, even to a potentially big client.

Delivery method and payment terms also need to be considered in advance. If you purchase a large quantity, shipping by sea is a better choice, and it usually takes about 30 to 45 days from China to United States. While for people whose quantity is not very large but the time is urgent, air transportation can be a good consideration. T/T is relatively simpler, buyers generally pay 30% in advance as deposit to vendors for purchasing related materials. After the factory finishes your order, and then provides corresponding proof, you need to pay the rest of the money. When asking vendor to quote, of course, you can choose FOB, CIF, EXW(Ex Works), etc. You can make a choice according to your own situation .
