Stay away from electronic items. The adverts and notices that claim they are name brand goods you see for much more on the high street, are actually fake imports.

If you should be tempted to buy them you must realize you run the risk of being left with any faulty imports because you will have no one to return them to for a refund.

Imported designer clothing that you see advertised from China are also almost always fake imports. You should never try to sell the imports on as originals or you will be taking a big risk. A good rule of thumb to use is that if the prices are very low, then they probably are not true.

Instead look for a import site or company selling quality unbranded merchandise for a good price from China. As long as they are not trying to sell you a brand, you can be more assured that the merchandise that they have are reasonable imports from China .

Look for high ranking sites . This is not a foolproof method, but usually sites with the highest rank have genuine imports because they have invested in promoting themselves and not a brand. Watch the domain name that they are using. If they are trying to grab visits to their site with the use of a brand name, avoid them.

Take a look for an address and telephone number and give them a call. You can usually tell from the response if they reputable.

Be careful about the types of payments that are accepted. Suggest an alternative payment method if you don't like what they suggest. They should be able to accept most of the bigger name payment methods. When you import from China use your common sense and don't be carried away with the concept of importing. If you are being offered branded merchandise at a quarter of the price back home, you are being misled.

Develop a new source of income when you import from China.

Well established hand holding service takes out all the risk and helps you set up solid deals with dependable companies.
