Door-to-door to USA
Sea and air freight to Los Angeles / Long Beach, CBP’s ACE (Automated Commercial Environment) clearance and last-mile — handled end to end.
The most profitable products to import from China to USA share three traits: strong local demand, a big gap between the Foshan factory price and the US retail price, and freight economics that don’t eat the margin. Here is where those three line up in 2026.
Categories worth importing right now
Furniture (HS 9403)
Our home category. Foshan makes the world’s furniture, the factory-to-retail gap is large, and US demand — residential and hospitality — is steady. HS 9403: 0% MFN, but wooden furniture has carried a 25% Section 301 tariff — confirm the live rate.
Lighting & LED (HS 9405)
High design value, compact to ship, strong margins. HS 9405 base rate plus any applicable Section 301; UL/DOE compliance expected.
Marble, tiles & stone (HS 6802/6907)
Heavy but high-ticket; the win is consolidating with other cargo. Ceramic tile (6907) has faced anti-dumping duties from China — this is the one to verify carefully.
Mattresses & bedding (HS 9404)
Chinese mattresses (9404) are subject to steep US anti-dumping duties — often uneconomic; we advise on alternatives.
Sanitaryware & kitchen (HS 6910/7324)
Renovation-driven demand and repeatable orders. Base rate plus Section 301; verify the exact 6910/7324 subheading.
Home décor & rattan/outdoor
Seasonal but high-margin; light, mixed loads that consolidate well into LCL.
How to judge a product before you commit
- Landed cost, not factory price — add a low base HTS rate, tax and freight before you compare to local retail
- Volume vs value — light-and-cheap dies on freight; compact-and-valuable wins
- Compliance — check certification early (The Section 321 de minimis ($800) that once let low-value parcels enter duty-free is being curtailed for Chinese goods in 2025 — commercial importers should assume formal entry and plan for the Section 301 rate)
- Repeatability — the best import is one you can reorder, not a one-off punt

Frequently asked questions
What are the most profitable products to import from China to USA?
Furniture, lighting/LED, marble and tiles, mattresses, sanitaryware and home décor consistently combine strong US demand with a large factory-to-retail gap. The right pick depends on your market and volume — we help you model landed cost before you commit.
How do I know if a product is actually profitable?
Compare the landed cost — factory price plus a low base HTS rate, tax and freight — against local retail, not the factory price alone. We give you that landed number free.
What sells well but is a trap to import?
Cheap, bulky, low-value goods: freight and duty erase the margin. Anything under heavy anti-dumping duty (we flag these per market) is also best avoided.
Can you source and ship whichever I choose?
Yes — factory-direct sourcing in China, QC before loading, consolidated freight to Los Angeles / Long Beach and landed delivery in USA, all as one quote.
