If you've ever ordered individual products from China, you've probably seen that many of them come with free shipping.
When ordering things online, it may cost you less to have packages delivered from faraway parts of the world than to have the package sent to you from a store down your street.
Logically, shipping would mail and parcels across the ocean must have cost more than locally, but that's not quite the case.
Have you ever wondered how that's possible?

Here we will try to answer that question, and you will find out what Trump did and what made China angry.

When you ask why Chinese products are cheap, one of the first things that comes to your mind is the large population of China, because when you have a large population, the cost of labor is certainly low.
Compared to India, China there are not many more inhabitants, so again the Chinese economy is much stronger and more advanced and Chinese products are cheaper.

Here we will try to explain why this is so.

In the past period since the website www.uvozizkine.com was created, we have received many inquiries from people who want to start their own small business by importing a small amount of products.
Most of them do not have much relevant experience, and they think that it is very simple: find a Chinese supplier, buy the products at a low price, ship them home and sell them at high prices in the domestic market.
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.

In this article, we will provide you with a complete introduction on how to import products in small quantities from China and point out some possible problems.

In fact, six of the world's largest container ports are located along the coast of China, from north to south.
