International consumers more and more often order products from AliExpress and are not afraid of buying goods from China. There are also sites dedicated to wholesale trade, such as Made-in-China. It\u2019s a B2B (business to business) portal, which means it\u2019s devoted to larger imports and not to buying by an individual client. The website was launched in 1998 in Nankin by John\u2019s Shen initiative. Made-in-China is also available in the app form for both Android and iOS systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this article, we\u2019ll show you how to place an order on Made-in-China step by step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is Made-in-China?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Made-in-China is one of many Chinese e-commerce platforms. It\u2019s dedicated mainly to wholesale importers. It allows buyers from abroad to find a supplier of a product they\u2019re interested in. It\u2019s also an excellent occasion to look for business partners. The portal offers goods in nearly every category, e.g., electronics, lighting, kitchen equipment, or garments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The platform\u2019s employees verify Chinese sellers since they must pay to create an account. They have to fill in a form and provide all the details about their company. Owning a verified account increases its credibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, buyers can create an account for free or log in via Facebook or LinkedIn profiles.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"http:\/\/examinechina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/madeinchina-website.png\" alt=\"Made-in-China\" class=\"wp-image-2340 lazyload\" width=\"600\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/examinechina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/madeinchina-website.png\" alt=\"Made-in-China\" class=\"wp-image-2340 lazyload\" width=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.examinechina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/madeinchina-website.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.examinechina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/madeinchina-website-300x122.png 300w, https:\/\/www.examinechina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/madeinchina-website-768x313.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>The website has 11 language versions, e.g., English, German, French, Spanish, and others. Prices on Made-in-China are shown in dollars. Therefore, it\u2019s crucial to convert the correct amount into our currency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to buy on Made-in-China?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 1. Searching for products and suppliers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We search for a wanted product. When looking for, e.g. a bag, we can choose from many various filters. To specify your needs, select a category, style, season, material, and other options. There is also a possibility to browse goods according to sellers. Depending on your choices, the website will display only suppliers with a certain account type (Diamond Member, Gold Member, Audited Supplier). What\u2019s more, you can search for a product by the sellers\u2019 categories, like Manufacturer\/Factory, Trading Company, Group Corporation, Individuals\/SOHO).<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"http:\/\/examinechina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/madeinchina-browsing.png\" alt=\"Searching for products and suppliers\" class=\"wp-image-2341 lazyload\" width=\"600\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/examinechina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/madeinchina-browsing.png\" alt=\"Searching for products and suppliers\" class=\"wp-image-2341 lazyload\" width=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.examinechina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/madeinchina-browsing.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.examinechina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/madeinchina-browsing-300x130.png 300w, https:\/\/www.examinechina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/madeinchina-browsing-768x334.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>One must keep in mind that Diamond and Gold users have only a verified business license. It means that the platform received from such a company a scan of its business license. However, this document does not guarantee its 100% reliability.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Still, it\u2019s worth looking for suppliers with an \u201cAudited Supplier\u201d mark since the platform\u2019s employees verified them. Furthermore, in the case of such sellers, Made-in-China gives insight into a factory\u2019s audit report. Importers also can find a special number on a supplier\u2019s profile and verify it on the official website of the SGS certification company. This way, you can check if the audit took place and when.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although Made-in-China gives you such an option, we always recommend having your <a href=\"https:\/\/examinechina.com\/credit-report\/\">supplier additionally verified<\/a>. Ensure that you\u2019re buying from a reliable person. Check if the products will be manufactured following your requirements and expectations.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"http:\/\/examinechina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/raport-audyt-1024x446.jpg\" alt=\"Verify your supplier\" class=\"wp-image-2342 lazyload\" width=\"600\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/examinechina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/raport-audyt-1024x446.jpg\" alt=\"Verify your supplier\" class=\"wp-image-2342 lazyload\" width=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.examinechina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/raport-audyt-1024x446.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.examinechina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/raport-audyt-300x131.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.examinechina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/raport-audyt-768x334.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.examinechina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/raport-audyt.jpg 1438w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>For additional verification of a supplier, Made-in-China also lets you arrange a visit to their factory. It\u2019s worth taking advantage of this opportunity, especially when placing orders of high costs, which pose a greater risk to a buyer. If you want to ensure that your goods are manufactured in proper conditions, contact a supplier and set up a meeting in a Chinese factory.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"http:\/\/examinechina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/factory-tour.jpg\" alt=\"Book a factory tour\" class=\"wp-image-2343 lazyload\" width=\"600\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/examinechina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/factory-tour.jpg\" alt=\"Book a factory tour\" class=\"wp-image-2343 lazyload\" width=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.examinechina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/factory-tour.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.examinechina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/factory-tour-300x139.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.examinechina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/factory-tour-768x356.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>In the offer, it\u2019s always stated what the minimum order quantity is. There is also a specification of a product described and the company\u2019s name. Next to it, there are icons informing about the company account type. Bags supplier in the picture below owns a Gold and Audited Supplier account. It means that it\u2019s a more reliable company with a verified business license and an additional verification carried out by the portal\u2019s employees.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"http:\/\/examinechina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/madeinchina-searching.png\" alt=\"Browsing on Made-in-China\" class=\"wp-image-2344 lazyload\" width=\"600\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/examinechina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/madeinchina-searching.png\" alt=\"Browsing on Made-in-China\" class=\"wp-image-2344 lazyload\" width=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.examinechina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/madeinchina-searching.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.examinechina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/madeinchina-searching-300x131.png 300w, https:\/\/www.examinechina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/madeinchina-searching-768x335.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"http:\/\/examinechina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/madeinchina-profile.png\" alt=\"Information about a product\" class=\"wp-image-2345 lazyload\" width=\"600\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/examinechina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/madeinchina-profile.png\" alt=\"Information about a product\" class=\"wp-image-2345 lazyload\" width=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.examinechina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/madeinchina-profile.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.examinechina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/madeinchina-profile-300x147.png 300w, https:\/\/www.examinechina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/madeinchina-profile-768x377.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>There is also information about the acceptable forms of payment (for example, L\/C, T\/T, Western Union, and Money Gram).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, you have access to a contact form, which allows contacting a supplier. Use it to inquire about the offer and get the answers to your questions (Send Inquiry).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 2. Ordering samples<\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"http:\/\/examinechina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/madeinchina-samples.png\" alt=\"Ordering samples on Made-in-China\" class=\"wp-image-2346 lazyload\" width=\"600\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/examinechina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/madeinchina-samples.png\" alt=\"Ordering samples on Made-in-China\" class=\"wp-image-2346 lazyload\" width=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.examinechina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/madeinchina-samples.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.examinechina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/madeinchina-samples-300x153.png 300w, https:\/\/www.examinechina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/madeinchina-samples-768x392.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Before ordering a large number of goods, you can ask a supplier to send some samples. The cost of such a bag (1 unit) is $60. When buying a wholesale amount, the price per item is lower and depends on the order quantity. If we buy between 300 and 799 units, the cost of one bag is $13,38. However, for 800-1,499 it\u2019s $13,07. Though, when you decide to order over 1500 units, you\u2019ll pay $12,6 for each. Moreover, the auction price includes the <a href=\"https:\/\/examinechina.com\/blog\/importing-china-fob\/\">import of goods on FOB<\/a> (Free on Board) rule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the auction\u2019s site, one can see more photos and check additional details in the description. For example, the delivery time for samples is 7-10 days, and manufacturing takes between 25 and 40 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 3. Placing an order<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Before placing an order, one must fill in a form (Send Inquiry) containing all the details about their company. Only then the transport costs are being set down, and you negotiate the price and more.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"http:\/\/examinechina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/madeinchina-inquiry.png\" alt=\"Placing an order\" class=\"wp-image-2347 lazyload\" width=\"600\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/examinechina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/madeinchina-inquiry.png\" alt=\"Placing an order\" class=\"wp-image-2347 lazyload\" width=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.examinechina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/madeinchina-inquiry.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.examinechina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/madeinchina-inquiry-300x143.png 300w, https:\/\/www.examinechina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/madeinchina-inquiry-768x366.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is it worth importing from Made-in-China?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Made-in-China is a platform absolutely worth paying attention to since it allows entrepreneurs worldwide to search for Chinese suppliers. Chinese companies must obligatorily pay for opening an account, which deters potential fraudsters. A seller\u2019s credibility increases if they own a Diamond, Gold, or Audited Supplier account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through the website, you can order a sample of a product before ordering wholesale. Moreover, sellers inform about the quantity they\u2019re able to manufacture.
