Companies that participate in global trade use two basic forms of transport: ship and air transport.
The cost of transportation is very important because shipping costs affect the final price of the product and affect consumers who buy imported products.

• Transportation prices directly depend on supply and demand.

This year, unusual events have caused the trends to diverge from the normal annual cycles that shipping companies, suppliers and retailers are used to.

In this text, we will look at the price trends in shipping and air traffic during the past year.
We will also analyze the impact of COVID-19 and try to see what can be expected in 2021.

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, for the first time this fair had an online virtual edition in the period June 15-24, 2020.
According to the rules of keeping distance and avoiding contact, it was decided that the autumn fair will also have its own online edition.

What's more, the biggest Amazon convention so far was held in Shanghai in 2018 in a hall with over 10,000 participants.

How to do business through Amazon, what is FBA, how to open a store, all that is part of another story and we will not deal with it in detail, it is not part of our job.

The role of an agent in China when doing business on Amazon

How to choose a manufacturer to work with. This is a very important question, and it must not be ignored.
We will present how we do it.

You should do the same or at least similar if you work independently or with another agent.

The main and basic question when choosing a Chinese manufacturer is determining whether the manufacturer is real or not.

This text is intended for those who want to learn more about buying goods from China.
Depending on your needs, we can divide the purchase into cheap, cheaper and the cheapest, i.e. the most profitable.

The price of a product that is ordered from abroad until it enters the country is formed by the price of making the product itself and the costs of transportation.
Costs after entering the country are fixed (or at least should be) and we will not consider them.
