Verify if products are profitable
No matter what kind of products you want to import, the vital step is to do enough research about the product cost in advance.
It is important to learn the approximate unit price of the product in advance. The price of products with ready-to-ship on Alibaba can be a reference standard to grasp the price range.
The shipping fee is also a vital component of the whole product cost. For international express, if your package weight exceeds 20kgs, the shipping fee is about $6-$7 for 1kg. Sea freight is $200-$300 for 1 m³ including the whole cost, but it usually has a minimum load of 2 CBM.
Take hand sanitizers or nail polish, for example, you should fill 2,000 bottles of 250ml hand sanitizers or 10,000 bottles of nail polish to fill up with 2m³. Evidently, it is not a kind of good product to import for small businesses.
Apart from the above aspects, there are also some other costs like sample costs and import tariffs. So when you’re going to import products from China, you had better conduct complete research about the whole cost. Then you decide whether it is profitable to import the products from China.
