BROOKERING TRADE WITH CHINA

We have more than twenty years of experience not only in trade, but also in logistics, necessary administration and, last but not least, in overcoming customs barriers. If you want to import any product from China, you have to buy in really large quantities. An order for half a million Czech crowns may seem large to some, but for many Chinese manufacturers it may be less than the value of the products of their daily production capacity. It is also true that if you, as a Czech manufacturer, want to succeed with your product on the Chinese market, you must have sufficient production capacity for that.

I have been trading with China since 2001. In recent years, I have visited the production facilities of several dozen companies. I have acted with more than a hundred exhibitors at the fairs in Shanghai, Chengdu, Hong Kong and Guangzhou (Canton). I also met many Chinese exhibitors at trade fairs in Warsaw, Poznan, Frankfurt and Milan. I have many personal contacts in China, especially in Zheijang and Guangdong provinces. In addition to importing light sources with my own brand or with brands of my customers, I have facilitated the import of various other products for a wide range of Czech companies. These were, for example, textiles, jewelery, data media, batteries, energy meters and others. I regularly attend meetings with Chinese business delegations organized by the Confederation of Industry and Transport, the Chamber of Commerce and the Hong Kong Trade Developement Council.

Interest in Czech products is growing in China. This led me to decide to focus on arranging exports to China and providing advice to Czech exporters. This made me decide to focus on brokering exports to China and providing consultancy to Czech exporters. Very significant event for this decision was my participation in the business mission that accompanied the then president of the Czech Republic, Ing. Miloš Zeman on his official visit to China.
