But the truth is that importing a small amount directly from China is not that easy and not that profitable.
You will face many different problems, such as shipping costs that may be higher than the price of the product, or your order is much less than the MOQ (minimum quantity) supplied by the manufacturer-supplier.
In some cases, you may have to give up your idea to start a new business.
