If you’re a small business owner hoping to expand your operations or double your profits by importing goods from China, industry experts suggest there’s real potential, provided you know how to go about it. Umesh Agarwal, founder of ChinaSeImport.com, has spent years helping traders tap into the Chinese market. Speaking to Local18, Agarwal explained how his company facilitates everything from securing a Chinese visa to inspecting factories, sourcing quality goods, and managing the entire import process.
“My job is to get the visa, inspect the factory, and ensure that the customer receives the best goods from China,” said Agarwal, adding, “We’re currently working with many Indian traders who are importing Chinese goods and earning substantial profits.”
What to Import for Maximum Profit
According to Agarwal, there’s a long list of products that are in high demand in India and can be imported at competitive rates from China. These include:
- LED light strips
- Smart home devices
- Gardening tools and equipment
- Televisions
- Decorative jewellery
- Toys and games
- Fashion apparel and accessories
- Fitness and wellness gear such as yoga mats, dumbbells, and fitness trackers
- Medical devices like digital thermometers and BP monitors
- Air purifiers
- Electric scooters and bicycles
“China is a hub for electronic products, and their mobile phones are doing very well in the Indian market too,” Agarwal noted, adding that the demand for these items in India is huge. He suggests that entrepreneurs keen on starting such ventures can reach out to his team directly via their website, chinaseimport.com, for guidance and support.
Doing Business in China
Agarwal also stressed that setting up and conducting business in China is surprisingly straightforward. “Compared to India, doing business in China involves significantly less paperwork,” he said, adding, “That’s why China’s global business output is 10 to 20 percent more than India’s.”
However, he admitted that one of the primary hurdles for Indian importers is dealing with customs duties and GST upon arrival of goods. “Yes, customs and GST are challenges, but if customers connect directly with us or with an experienced importer, the process becomes much easier and more profitable,” he explained.
Help Available for Both Import and On-Ground Setup
Whether one wants to import goods or physically establish a business presence in China, Agarwal claims his team provides end-to-end support. “If someone wants to go to China and set up operations there or just import products into India, we help in both cases,” he said.
