Importing from China shouldn't feel like a gamble

Most first-time importers run into the same four problems.

Seller's hands holding a phone with a translation screen in front of a wholesale stall

Language and distance

Suppliers speak Mandarin, work on China time and quote in yuan. Weeks disappear in back-and-forth.

Laptop showing a wholesale website on an Indian home-office desk

Online prices aren't market prices

Listings on wholesale websites are often higher than what the same stalls charge in person.

Stack of shipping and customs documents with a rubber stamp

Customs and paperwork

IEC, HS codes, duty, clearance agents. One wrong document can hold your goods at the port.

Seller hesitating over a payment on his phone

Who do you trust with your money?

Paying an unknown supplier overseas, with no one on the ground, is the biggest risk of all.

We walk the market. You get the market price.

In our experience, prices negotiated in person at the China market typically run 10–25% below the online listing price for the same product. Our team in China visits the stalls, compares suppliers and brings you the actual quotation, with nothing added on top.

No hidden margin. You see the supplier's real price. Our fee is separate and shown upfront.

One clear fee. No hidden margin.

The AmanCentral fee is calculated on product value only, not on shipping, customs duty or GST.

Quotation fee: ₹1,000

Covers up to 3 products per request. Charged only after we confirm your product can be sourced. Credited in full against your AmanCentral fee if you order within 30 days of your quotation.

Why we charge it: our China team spends real time in the market on every quotation. A small fee keeps their time for sellers who are serious about sourcing, which means faster, better quotes for you.

Questions sellers ask us

How do I start?

Send us your product on WhatsApp: a link from any website or a clear photo, with the quantity you need, your target price and your delivery pincode. Sumathy or Fahira will confirm the details and pass them to our team in China. We'll tell you whether it can be sourced before any fee is charged.

How long does a quotation take?

Usually 3 to 7 working days, depending on how many products you send and how specialised they are. We'll tell you if a product needs longer.

Why do you charge for a quotation?

First, our team checks whether your product can be sourced, at no cost. If it can, we charge a ₹1,000 quotation fee (covering up to 3 products) before our China team starts work. They visit the market, compare suppliers and negotiate in person, which takes real time, and the fee keeps that time for serious sourcing requests. It's credited in full against your AmanCentral fee if you order within 30 days of receiving your quotation.

Can you source a product I've seen on Alibaba, 1688 or Amazon?

Yes. Send the link. Our team in China looks for the same or an equivalent product at the market, where prices are often lower than online listings.

Why are your prices lower than online listings?

Online listings often carry extra margin. Our team in China negotiates in person at the market. In our experience that typically comes in 10–25% below the online listing price. You see the supplier's actual quote, and our fee is separate and shown upfront.

What is the minimum order quantity?

It depends on the product and the supplier. Wholesale market suppliers in China often accept smaller quantities than large factories. Every quotation states the MOQ, so you know before you decide.

Can I combine different products in one shipment?

Yes. Products from different suppliers can be consolidated into one shipment to save on freight. The AmanCentral fee is calculated on the total product value of the order.

Can I get samples before a bulk order?

Yes. Our China team sends you photos and videos of samples. If you want a physical sample, you pay the sample cost and the courier charge to India, and both are shown before you approve. We recommend samples for any new product.

Can you add my logo or custom packaging?

Many suppliers offer logo printing, custom packaging and labels, usually above a minimum quantity. Tell us your branding needs in your enquiry and they'll be included in the quotation.

Are there products you won't source?

Yes. We don't source branded copies or replicas, prohibited or restricted items, or products that need Indian certification or special import licences (such as BIS certification for toys and many electronics) unless the supplier already holds it. If you're unsure, ask before you spend anything.

What is the AmanCentral fee?

₹20,000 flat for orders below ₹2 lakh, 10% of the whole order from ₹2 lakh up to under ₹15 lakh, and 7% of the whole order at ₹15 lakh and above. It is calculated on product value only.

What does the fee cover?

Your enquiry, coordination with our China team, quotation review, and order and production updates. You also get one point of contact from enquiry to delivery, and AmanCentral standing behind your order.

Who do I pay, and when?

Once we confirm your product can be sourced, you pay the ₹1,000 quotation fee through the payment link our team sends you. At order confirmation, you pay the advance to our China team, into the account named on your quotation, and the AmanCentral fee through our secure payment link. Before dispatch, you pay the balance and shipping (quoted per CBM) to our China team. On delivery, you pay the domestic freight to the courier.

China teamAmanCentralCourier
How much is the advance?

Usually 30% to 50% of the product value, depending on the supplier. The exact amount is stated on your quotation.

How do I pay our China team?

By bank transfer to the account named on your AmanCentral quotation. Only ever pay the account on your quotation.

China team
How do I pay the AmanCentral fee?

Through our secure online payment link. Indian debit and credit cards are accepted. The fee is invoiced separately by AmanCentral.

AmanCentral
Why do goods payments go to the China team?

Because our China team pays the manufacturer and books your shipment on the ground, so paying them directly keeps things fast and simple. AmanCentral stands behind your order either way.

What happens if something goes wrong?

Once you've paid, AmanCentral takes responsibility if your payment is lost, your goods are not shipped, or the goods don't match the sample you approved. We make it right with a replacement, a re-shipment or a refund of the amount affected. Mismatches must be reported with photos and an unboxing video within 7 days of delivery. Normal transit times, customs delays outside our control and market price changes before you confirm are not covered.

Are there any other costs?

Yes, and they're shown before you confirm: product cost, samples if requested, shipping to India (quoted per CBM), customs duty and import GST as shown on your quotation, and domestic freight (paid to the courier on delivery).

China teamCourier
Do I need an IEC or an import licence?

No. The logistics company managing the import clears customs under its own registration and issues your GST invoice.

Will I get a GST invoice?

Yes. The logistics company managing the import issues your Indian GST invoice. If you're GST-registered, ask your accountant about claiming input tax credit.

How long does the whole process take?

Typically 6 to 10 weeks from order confirmation to delivery. Production usually takes 2 to 4 weeks, and sea freight plus customs clearance usually 3 to 5 weeks. Your quotation gives the estimate for your products.

Can goods come by air?

For small or urgent consignments, air freight may be possible at a higher cost. Ask when you enquire.

Which port do goods arrive at?

Usually Chennai. We choose the most suitable port for your shipment.

Do you deliver anywhere in India?

Yes. After customs clearance, goods travel by a road-transport partner to your address. Freight is paid to the courier on delivery.

Can you deliver to an Amazon fulfilment centre?

Delivery can be booked to any address you give, including your own warehouse or 3PL. For Amazon fulfilment centres, share the appointment and labelling requirements at order stage so they can be planned.

Who checks the quality?

Our China team checks the finished goods (quantity, visible defects and packaging) and sends you photos before dispatch. A detailed third-party inspection can be arranged on request at extra cost.

What if goods arrive damaged, short or defective?

Tell us straight away, with photos and an unboxing video. We investigate with the supplier and the transporter. If the issue is covered by our order protection, we make it right. An unboxing video for every delivery is your best protection.

What if production is delayed?

We keep you updated throughout. Some delays are predictable: Chinese New Year and other holidays close many factories, and we flag these when you order.

Is my money safe?

Pay goods and shipping only to the account named on your AmanCentral quotation, and the AmanCentral fee only through our secure payment link. AmanCentral stands behind your order if your payment is lost, your goods are not shipped, or the goods don't match your approved sample.

China teamAmanCentral
Who is your team in China?

AmanCentral's own team on the ground in China. They visit the market, collect quotations, send sample photos and videos, pay manufacturers, follow up production, check goods before dispatch and book your shipment to India.

Who will I talk to?

Sumathy and Fahira from the AmanCentral team are your point of contact, from your first message until your goods are delivered.

Why use this instead of contacting suppliers myself?

You can, and many sellers do. This service is for sellers who want someone on the ground, real market prices, and import, customs and GST handled, with one team to talk to.
