10 step to find a good supplier in China
Step 1. A good supplier should be at least 5 years of history and have export/import business at
least 3 years.
Step 2. The employee in the factory should be more than 50-100.
Step 3. Find suppliers from Eastern China will be better. Such as Guangdong, Fujian, Zhejiang,
Shandong. Those provinces are more developed and understand what customers need better.
Step 4. Search the factory on GOOGLE and visit its website-if there are too many flashes, you
have to re-consider before start cooperating-websites are for to show their products and help
clients find the required information at the easiest way.
Step 5. Check the factory is private or state-owned, I suggest cooperate with private factories.
Step 6. Send the factory samples and ask them to produce accordingly-find as many problems as
possible after receiving samples-NEVER say “your sample is great!” at the very beginning.

Step 7. If possible and you are willing to, visit the factory and see the workshop, dining room
and washing room. A good factory treats workers comparatively good.
Step 8. Talk with the one speak English from the factory and ask he/she several questions: how
many employees, how many pieces of equipment, annual turnover and so on. If he/she can reply
immediately, this person can help on export handling.
Step 9. Tell the supplier what you need in details, Chinese suppliers can supplier products at any
prices-if you want good quality, you must tell directly. And visit the factory before loading the
first container-find problems with products and reject, then you would not need to fly to China
every time before the shipping date, come in the next 3 months and then 6 months.
Step 10. To double ensure products can finish before cancel date and quality, better find a local
representative help you.
