How to solve the four problems in importing toys from China

Toys are an important part of China's import and export. For beginners, importing toys can be a big problem, because there are so many kinds of toys and they don't know how to choose, many countries have strict requirements on toys. Below, Sellersunion Online will make a statistics for you about the problems you may encounter in the process of importing toys from China.
1. Compliance and safety issues
Certification and safety are the most important issues, and different countries require different standards for imported toys. These are some of the certifications required for toy products in the United States and the European Union.
2. Commodity inspection required by China customs
Toys need to be tested when they are exported to other countries. Containers cost $200 to $300. If you ship through LCL, the cost depends on the material and size of the toy, usually more than $100.
3. Design infringement
Many factories like to print famous animated characters in their toy products, and some make them have the same shape. For example, two bags, one with a handkerchief, one with a handkerchief, and the other is not, the former can be sold more than the latter, people still like to buy the former.
If the supplier is not authorized by the animation company, all toys with animated characters may be infringed. Your products will be examined by Chinese customs and foreigners. Once they find out you're not authorized, they destroy them. Even if you are lucky enough to avoid the usual checks, you will have the same problem selling these unauthorized toys.
Therefore, if you want to import toys with well-known animated characters, you need to determine if your vendor is authorized. If not, you can switch to another supplier, or you must abandon the product in case it may destroy your business.

4.The problem of shipping toys from China
Is the most economical way to transport toys, because toys are usually very light in weight, but the product size is very large. If you intend to import less than 3 CBM toys at a time, it is better to buy from the local market rather than import directly from China. Because the average cost of each toy product will be very high, including transportation and commodity inspection.
While importing toys from China may seem like a hassle, experienced toy importers know that many problems can be solved if you find the right supplier.
