Import From China
To know more about import products from china you have to read this out,
our story started In 2009 the decision was made to sell the tool line and focus solely
on helping other companies import their products from China. China’s industrial base had grown substantially in the 2000’s, and our Chinese friends gave us the ability to source a wide variety of products.
The tool line was sold at a profit and the company’s name was changed to Skyline Trading Co., LTD
Since then our sole mission has been to help companies import their products from reliable manufacturers in China.
Today we have customers in the Middle East, U.S., Canada, and the U.K., Australia, Swizrland and have sourced a wide variety of products for our customers.
We work with three trading groups in China that are based in Guangzhou, Ningbo and Shenzhen. From these regions we have access to much of China’s industrial base.
Even though we have processes in place to do our best to insure that you get a shipment without quality problems, we know that problems can arise no matter how hard everyone works to avoid them.
Our experience in developing products from print to part and bringing them to market successfully is a plus for you; we sometimes give our customers pointers on how to get a product line up and going and what pitfalls to avoid.
If you’re successful, we’re successful, and we strive to build relationships with our customers for the long term. We enjoy helping our customers succeed.

NEW PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT IN CHINA
From print to prototype to production, we’ve been developing new products in China for our customers since 2006. Going from concept to production and then successfully marketing a new product involves taking a number of critical steps. We’ll cover the entire spectrum of what the product development process looks like in the content below.
1. If there might be any patent or trademark infringement issues, you should perform a patent or trademark search and/or consult a patent attorney.

We do not perform patent or trademark searches; we will not knowingly source a product that would infringe on another company’s patents or trademarks. You wouldn’t want this either, as importing a product that infringes on a patent or trademark could trigger a lawsuit, in addition to the possibility that Country Customs could confiscate the shipment.
2. The engineering process involves creating computer-generated drawings (prints), that a manufacturing company will use to create the production parts. Not prototyping your product is a costly mistake that can result in a shipment of defective parts. The prototyping process can also save you money by flushing out ideas on how the product might be made at a lower cost. We can refer you to a company in your country who does excellent engineering and prototyping work.
Market research
3. After you’ve tested a fully functioning prototype, it’s now time to do some market research. True market research is finding out what your customers want to buy and then catering your product line and marketing to their needs.
What you think you want to sell is a shot in the dark; at worst case, it’s a gamble that could result in you sitting on inventory that no one wants to buy. Show your prototype to as many of your prospective customers as possible; you want to ask their opinion on your product’s quality, function, projected sales price, appearance, and how they’d like to see it packaged.
4. If there are any changes that need to be made to the product, the prints must be updated.
5. Have the artwork for your packaging made.
It is best that you have the artwork made by a local graphic arts company; we do not recommend having the artwork designed in China. We can refer you to a professional company in the U.S. that does fantastic package design.
6. If you’re setting up a new company, it’s important to make a business plan. Your business plan will help you understand the total costs involved in setting up a new business so that you can acquire enough capital to insure that your new company will make it over the long term.
Lack of planning and insufficient capital are two of the biggest reasons why new businesses fail.
7. Now you’re ready to go to production. We’ll source a factory for you to make the production run, and get you a quote on the final, packaged product.

China Manufactures
Old machinery and equipment, rugged working conditions, unreliable communication, and constant shipment delays were the norm. The industrial base was small as were the product offerings. Today, China boasts one of the world’s largest industrial bases; products of every kind are available.
Many manufacturing companies boast late model, computer run U.S. or European made equipment. Communication services are up to date with the rest of the world, and delivery times are many times better than that of the manufacturing companies of 2000.
