Who Stands Behind Gabriel Group and the “Uvoz iz Kine” Website
Gabriel Group is your on-the-ground partner in China. We help companies outside China safely import goods from China and, when needed, place their products on the Chinese market, backed by local presence, experience, and a deep understanding of the Chinese business environment.
Who Is Gabriel Group?
Gabriel Group consists of companies registered in China that specialize in sourcing and shipping goods from China for international clients. Our team lives and works in China, which allows us to work daily with factories, suppliers, and logistics partners.
Gabriel Group was founded by Josip Glušac, who has been living and working in China since 2009. Together with his wife, Xiaobo Liu, he manages the companies based in Hainan. Local offices, licenses, and on-the-ground presence provide extra security and reassurance for our clients.

How the “Uvoz iz Kine” Website Was Created
The idea for the Uvoz iz Kine website was born in 2007, at a time when there was almost no reliable information about importing from China available in our language. That is why the Uvoz iz Kine website was created.
Over the years, we have collected data, vetted Chinese companies, explained customs procedures, and shared practical experiences with importers from across the region. Since 2020, Gabriel Group has owned the uvozizkine.com website and continues to develop it as a central resource for importing from China.

The interview covers his move to Hainan, the growth of companies in Guangzhou, Hong Kong, and Sanya, importing Croatian wines, and what everyday life looks like in the “Chinese Hawaii.”

Academic Expertise and Lobbying in China
Gabriel Group does not rely only on practical experience, but also on formal education. The founder, Josip Glušac, holds a master’s degree in economics with the thesis “How to Lobby in the People’s Republic of China”, analyzing the Chinese political and business system, guanxi networks, and how to represent business interests in China.
We apply this knowledge in our work with clients – from negotiations with partners and entering the Chinese market, to building long-term relationships with suppliers and distributors.
