You either provide them specifications or architectural plans and they quote the project, many times including development cost for the property. From there, the major components that make up the frame of the building are produced elsewhere in the US and shipped to the construction site for installation. The industry of importing these buildings in pieces, pre-fabricated from China is soaring and there companies that have been engaging in this business to manufacture pre-fabricated buildings for developments in the US since 1995. Check out this article. With the residential housing market at an all-time low, developers have begun to diversify their portfolio with commerical investments. Are these developers looking or already performing this business in China? It would pay to find out. The industry for metal building’s “revenue for the year 2007 was approximately $7.9 billion USD, with an estimated gross profit of 27.9%. Import was valued at $183.2 million USD from 34 countries.” Check the market research here. If you can source these products yourself and have the commercial real estate contacts, then you could be the next major player.

•Lamp Poles - these items can be purchased or leased from the power company during final stages of development, but the developer has the option of installing them themselves. These poles are relatively expensive so sourcing them from China is an ideal product to import. Their construction is modular so shipping can be maximized on this import.

Check out a subdivision development plan with lamp pole location highlighted. I see at-least a container of lamp poles just in phase 1.

•Sewer and Storm Drain concrete conduits
•Water and Fire lines
•Fire Hydrants
•Street Signs - If you want to purchase street signs for developments without going to China, buy from someone who does. Check out Global Home Construction.
•Retaining Wall Blocks
•Erosion Control

Power and Cable television lines are typically purchased and installed by the service providers themselves. During the development cycle a developer will provide blueprints indicating the layout and they handle the rest. These items are not good sourcing items unless you have a relationship with one of these providers. These lines that run inside the house may be good housing items to source as they can be sold directly to electrical contractors.

Small to Medium Sized Building Supply Houses
Sourcing items in this category are ones that:
•Will have a high volume of sales, maintaining constant amount of inventory while still purchasing regularly every 30 days.
•Items that are common purchases to builders
•Have good margin for profit after import
•Low individual cost per item
•Are not typically items sold by a lumber yard
•Can be mixed with the rest of your US domestic products for a seamless product-line.
•Can be packaged as a turn-key solution for installation

These items are include:
•Interior trim and moldings
•Interior and exterior door locks
•Exterior doors: front doors, metal doors, sliding glass doors
•Exterior cornicing materials
•Kitchen cabinets
•Contemporary Chinese lavatories
•Plumbing fixtures
•Lighting fixtures and fans

Export to China – Selling, rather than Buying, from China

Sell-to-chinaSJ.jpg

A few weeks ago, alibaba.com launched a new service called Export To
China and is promoting the business of exporting to China based buyers for
the domestic China consumer base. They mention the growth in China’s
middle class as well as the rising RMB (Chinese currency) as signs
that a market is ready for your products to be sold to China. Upon
review, the service is fairly basic and utilizes Alibaba’s extensive
network. Logic would dictate that all those Chinese based exporters
are potential buyers and are possibly the most prepared to seize and
address such internal opportunity in China. Additionally, Alibaba
(our assumption) realizes that most small to medium sized businesses
need new outlets for growth and possibly make up the bulk of their
clients on the import side of Alibaba.com - so why not make buyers
into sellers? Buyers are sellers and sellers are buyers and for
Alibaba this is yet another revenue stream.

Exporting to China is not new - hundreds, if not thousands, of
multinational corporations from all over the world are doing business
in China and most are selling all range of products. Many of these
multinational corporations are doing so well in China that the
business in China is making up a significant percentage of global
sales. Research some of the numbers for automobile manufacturers such
as Volkswagen, General Motors, Honda, Toyota, etc. and you will find
staggering growth in China. Additionally, you will find reported in
the major media that luxury brands are surpassing expectations in
mainland China and that many of these luxury brands are increasing
their exposure to China each year with new stores and distribution
channels.

Besides Alibaba, there are other avenues to promote your products into
the Chinese market. One of them is supported by the Chinese
government and offers its services free. Below are some
excerpts from their “About Us” section of their website which can be
found at this link.

Export to China is an information exchange platform of
products of all countries and regions in the world, and it was set up by the Ministry of Commerce of the People’s Republic of China to promote the balance of international trade and help foreign products enter into China’s market.

Export to China will issue the information to China’s users both in Chinese and English. Main users of the platform are the manufacturers, trade companies and consumers in Mainland China who are interested in the world’s products. The information provided in English is welcome. It will achieve much better effect if you provide information in Chinese at the same time.

As a part of the public commerce information service system of the
Ministry of Commerce, information providers issue the essential
information at our website is free of charge.

For companies in the USA, there are many options to understand and
begin the process of researching how to successfully export into
China. Below are some organizations that can help you tremendously in
a growing and vast market filled with incredible opportunities as well
as challenges.

Some important information when considering the business of exporting to China:

1. Make sure your Chinese translations are localized for Chinese
readers. Just translating content will not adequately represent your
objectives, products, and or information well. It is crucial to
localize the content with a respected translator. We highly recommend
this company when dealing with
translations of any nature – they are professional and know the
business of translations exceptionally well.

2. It is not enough to just post and wait for buying leads to be sent
to your email inbox if you are truly serious. It may be best to work
with companies that understand the nature of selling into China. For
companies in the USA, you should begin your research with government
agencies that support exporting activities like the ones mentioned
above.

3. Find a company that doesn’t compete with your company but does
business already in China as a resource. This can be done via
professional organizations and once again, for companies in the USA,
the chambers of commerce noted above can truly help.


Good luck, but more importantly please do your research.
