The India-China bilateral trade reached $84.44 billion last year—a historic high notwithstanding bilateral tensions over a host of issues. China has been the largest trading partner of India since 2013–2014. With a massive manufacturing industry, China produces electronics, machinery, engines, fertilizers, ships, boats, plastic products, textiles, footwear, and much more. It has a vast workforce in the manufacturing sector. Why? Because it’s the most populated country in the world. The low cost of labor and favorable government policies help keep production costs low. That’s why we can procure affordable products to import from China.

Importing from China Made Easy
Problems During Import?
Resellers in India need to import products, which first requires finding a manufacturer in China. But is it easy to find a trustworthy dealer? Not really. Choosing a vendor without proper research can lead to receiving subpar products. Previously, importers had to travel to find reputable vendors. Now, it’s easier to find them online via reviews and ratings.
Once manufacturers are finalized, finding a reliable logistics partner is the next hurdle. You need a company that delivers products in pristine condition and on time.
