Why source from China?
Recent monthly import figures from HMRC show that in January 2016 China rose to 2nd position in the list of countries providing imports to the UK, just below Germany and ahead of more traditional partners such as France and USA. There is a vast and expanding range of products available from China including machinery, components and finished goods.
The Top 10 categories of 2015 imports to the UK from China include many items which are of most use to SMEs:
-
Electronic equipment
-
Machinery
-
Furniture, lighting and signs
-
Toys and games
-
Clothing (non-knitted)
-
Clothing (knitted)
-
Footwear
-

In addition, China will soon become the biggest global market for consumer goods offering export opportunities to UK businesses that have become familiar with China as a trading partner.

e-Cantonfair.com – the online platform for the well-established trade show
The e-Cantonfair.com e-commerce platform grew out of the huge physical Canton Fair trade show which is held biannually, in Spring and Autumn, in Guangzhou. The 119th Canton Fair takes place from 15th April until 5th May 2016. Visit the Canton Fair website for more information. e-Cantonfair.com aims to build on the success of this well-established event to make trading opportunities virtual and available throughout the year.
If you are interested in face-to-face opportunities to source Chinese goods, e-Cantonfair.com occasionally organises offline “sourcing salons” where buyers can have a face-to-face with different pre-selected suppliers at the same time in order to accelerate the suppliers vetting process. The organisation is also able to design factory tour itineraries and arrange a pick-up service for buyers who have multiple sourcing inquiries under one product category.
