What to add on top

The factory price is not the landed price. Budget for sea freight, insurance, import duty and local tax, unloading and inland delivery. Together these usually add a meaningful percentage to the factory cost, and the smaller your order, the heavier that share becomes.

Why we do not publish freight rates

Container rates move constantly with the shipping market and the season. A 40 foot container holds roughly 65 to 76 cubic metres of goods. We quote freight fresh at the time you order rather than print a figure that will be wrong next month.

Duty and tax are your country’s call

Import duty and VAT or GST depend on the HS code of each product and on your destination country. Your customs broker confirms the exact rate. We prepare the documentation and the correct classification so nothing is held up at the border.

When importing does not pay

Buying furniture from China works best at container quantities, because shipping and customs cost close to the same whether a container is full or half empty. If your volume is too small to justify it, we will tell you plainly instead of taking the order.

Before You Order

What to prepare before buying furniture from China

A clear product list helps you compare suppliers and understand the full cost before you commit. Use these checks whether you plan to visit Foshan or choose your products from home.

Prepare your rooms and product list

List each item by room, with its quantity, dimensions and preferred materials or finishes. Add reference photos, your budget, destination and delivery deadline. Check doorways, lifts and access to the room so large pieces can be brought inside.

For kitchens, wardrobes, doors and windows, ask your designer or installer to confirm site measurements and installation details before you approve supplier drawings.

See our project preparation checklist.

Compare what each quotation includes

Similar looking furniture can use different frames, foam, fabrics and hardware. Compare the same dimensions and specifications, then ask whether fittings, assembly parts and export packing are included. Confirm whether you are buying stock, the display piece or a new production order.

Keep the approved item codes, sample references, drawings, payment stages and production dates together. Record changes in writing so the supplier and inspection team work from the same details.

Read our furniture buying guide.

Check the complete delivery budget

Ask which costs are included for sourcing support, collection, warehouse handling, packing, freight and insurance. Confirm destination handling, customs brokerage, duty, tax and local delivery with the relevant providers. Your customs broker confirms the import requirements for your products.

Give the destination city and address type, and explain whether you need unloading or assembly. Packed carton dimensions and weight help us compare full and shared container options. Confirm where the delivery service ends before booking.

Read about consolidation and shipping.

Send your room plans or product list, budget and destination. If you are visiting China, include your travel dates. Tell us about your project so we can discuss the support you need.

After You Choose

Before your container leaves China

Your sofa may come from one shop, your tiles from another and your kitchen from a factory. We bring those orders together and keep working after you return home.

We check what you ordered

We compare the goods with the sizes, materials, colours and finishes you approved. You receive photos and inspection reports before shipping.

We collect and check the packing

We bring your purchases to the warehouse, check the quantities and packing, and arrange container loading. Furniture, tiles and other materials need to be packed for the journey.

Shipping Documents & Delivery Arrangements

We prepare shipping documents and coordinate with the freight forwarder and destination agent. Before shipment, we confirm whether your quote covers delivery to a port or your address, and explain which customs, tax and local delivery costs are separate.

Our team continues supplier communication in spoken and written Chinese after you return home. Order changes, production questions and inspection findings need clear follow-up long after the showroom visit.

FAQ

Common questions

A few practical details before you get started. Contact us if you have another question.

Choosing Your Agent & Meeting Our Team

Check practical ability before you commit. If you work with a foreign agent in China, ask whether they can speak, read and write Chinese themselves and who handles written supplier communication. Apply the same test to any agent.

Ask for a live Zoom call with the agent and a supplier. Discuss a real product, drawing or quotation. Check that the agent can explain your requirements in Chinese, understand the answers and give you a clear written summary.

Confirm who stays responsible after your trip. Chinese support matters during drawing revisions, production, inspections and supplier follow-up after delivery. Agree services, fees and responsibilities in writing. Anna, our team leader, speaks English and fluent Chinese, including reading and writing. You can also visit our working office and meet the team.

Ask us to arrange a supplier Zoom call for your project.

Products, Plans & Buying Visits

Foshan specialises in furniture, ceramics and tiles, lighting, aluminum products, sanitary ware, stainless steel, doors and windows, kitchen equipment and building materials. Send us your list and we can suggest which shops and factories to visit.

Both. We support homeowners furnishing a house or villa, as well as hotel owners, developers and business buyers. Purchases from different suppliers can be brought together, with the shipping plan based on your order volume and destination. See our whole-house buying guide or hotel furniture guide for the details to prepare.

Start with a product list, quantities, measured drawings, preferred finishes, budget and delivery destination. For fitted items such as cabinets, doors and windows, ask your designer or installer to confirm dimensions and installation requirements before you approve production. Keep approved samples and drawings with each supplier quotation. Our building materials buying guide explains how to organise your showroom visits.

Send the drawings, room schedule or bill of quantities, together with quantities, materials, finishes, budget and destination. We use your brief to clarify supplier questions and compare quotations. Your designer or installer confirms site dimensions, design decisions and local requirements before fitted products enter production. Our brief and approval checklist shows what to prepare.

Yes. Our visit service includes airport pickup, transport along the agreed route and an English-speaking furniture specialist. We can suggest hotels near the markets. Confirm your arrival airport, dates, itinerary and what is included in your quote before booking. Discover the Tour.

Yes. We organise guided factory tours in Foshan tailored to your product interests. Our team accompanies you, provides professional translation and helps you evaluate facilities effectively. Given Foshan’s concentrated layout, multiple factories can typically be visited in a single day.

Yes. Start with your room plans, dimensions, product list and references. Review supplier quotations, ask for live product views and use physical samples where colour, texture or comfort matters. A screen image is useful for a shortlist; approved product details and samples give the factory a clearer production reference. See our remote furniture buying guide.

Foshan and nearby areas have furniture showrooms, factories and material suppliers that can be visited on the same trip. We recommend locations based on the products you need.

Fees, Order Size & Buying Costs

Simple and transparent. You pay the factory directly, and pay us an agreed service fee of 5% to 10% of the order value, fixed in writing before we start. Smaller and first orders sit at the higher end, larger and repeat orders move toward 5%. No hidden markups on your product cost.

A 0% buyer commission is not possible; they must earn money some other way, perhaps by asking the supplier to add a markup to the price. Make sure the agent does not prevent you from negotiating with suppliers, while keeping negotiations reasonable and respectful. You can also ask for the supplier’s invoice.

Minimum quantities depend on the supplier and the product, especially for custom furniture. Send us your list so we can confirm what each factory will accept and compare the total cost of buying and shipping. Orders from different suppliers can be collected together; a supplier’s minimum order and the size of your shipment are separate questions.

It can be, but compare the total delivered cost for the same specification. Include product prices, our service fee, packing, freight and destination charges. Small orders can be less economical because fixed handling costs are spread across fewer items. Ask for a project quote before deciding whether importing offers better value.

Production, Shipping & Follow-up

Our local team continues working after you fly home. We speak, read and write Chinese for supplier follow-up, clarify production questions, check goods against your approved specifications and coordinate collection, packing and shipment. You receive inspection reports before shipping, and we help address order issues with the suppliers. Read about consolidation and shipping.

Initial supplier identification takes 3 to 5 business days. Sample production typically requires 7 to 15 days. Bulk production ranges from 15 to 45 days depending on complexity and quantity. Sea freight to most destinations adds 15 to 40 days. We provide realistic timelines at the outset of every project.

Not always. A full container (FCL) is reserved for your shipment; shared-container shipping (LCL) uses part of a container. Furniture, tiles and cabinets from different suppliers can be assessed for a combined shipment. We compare suitable options once packing sizes, weight, volume and destination are known. The quote specifies whether delivery ends at the port or your address, and which destination charges are included.

We arrange sea freight (FCL and LCL), air freight, rail freight to Europe and express courier for samples and small consignments. Our logistics team handles all export documentation, customs declarations and coordination with your freight forwarder or destination agent.

Before ordering, confirm the supplier’s warranty, claim procedure, spare-part availability and which follow-up services are included in your agreement. Keep the item references, approved specifications and inspection records. If an issue arises, record photos, quantities and the affected item so supplier discussions can address the specific problem. Repairs, replacements and associated costs depend on the supplier terms and the agreed service scope.
