Sourcing & Import Guides
Six guides written from the factory floor, not from a keyword tool. Each one covers a question buyers actually ask us before placing a first order.
Start with the sourcing checklist if you are new to Chenghai, then move to the duty and compliance pieces once you have a category in mind. Everything here applies to the three lines we manufacture: water guns, RC toys and educational toys.
