Importing goods on regular basis.
 

I am.planning to import goods from overseas. Mainly China.
I also use loads of wholesalers in UK.
Recently I have been looking to imports goods the same items from.China. This way I can warn more profits.

The item I want to import are like cartoon characters things.

I have not imported these goods before. I have no idea about these type of products would have issues.

The goods would have Disney Trademark.
Are these products problematic?


Also. How many imports are you all importing from China?
Do you get them imported to home address or business address.

I planning to expand. Have been good on domestic side of things.

Any input by some experts on this forum would be a great help.
Thanks

DISNEY TRADEMARK!!!!! No No No, you could hardly have picked a higher risk item if you tried, you have not been this forum on a regular basis clearly, Disney woukd have your account closed down in no time for Vero, which is abusing trademarks in case you are not aware of that, 100% do not waste your accounts like this, way way way too risky, Disney are known to clamp down heavily on traders who try to sell imported or any other versions of their goods.

Thank you for advice.

Did not know that Disney products comes into VERO trademark.

I have been purchasing these products from UK with reputable wholesalers.
Have no problems so far.

Would stick to what I am currently doing.

Okay. I get it :peace:

Re: Importing goods on regular basis.
 

Did you see recently on the news all of the 'Frozen' toys that were seized coming into the country?

Problems, avoid at all costs.

A good start for products is to look close to you, maybe any UK wholesalers. Don't think you always have to look abroad, lots of local suppliers of goods that you could do well with

Good luck

Disney + China = phake

That is why its cheaper. It is not worth it. Not to mention import duties etc..

Nice response to our joint comments eternity, stealth is a big learning curve for all of us, and learning from the experiences of other is why the forum is here, visit regularly to keep yourself up to date with any changes

Not ALL Disney items are VERO.
The DVD's are the most problematic.

Re: Importing goods on regular basis.
 

Disney items are amongst the MOST heavily counterfeited items...careful :eek:

I once knew someone who made a pretty good living importing ⊗⊗⊗⊗ T shirts...until they confiscated 30,000 T shirts at the docks and arrested him....(ended up getting 2yr probation and $50K fine)

Re: Importing goods on regular basis.
 

OP, please educate yourself.

You are already selling count.erf.eits and you don't even know it.

Re: Importing goods on regular basis.
 

Exactly unknown!

Re: Importing goods on regular basis.
 

If the wholesalers the OP is using the one i think of in the UK it is legit, i have looked into this myself a few years back.

But i would absolutely stay away from china for almost EVERYTHING.

Re: Importing goods on regular basis.
 

True. You get alot of wholesalers in UK that are genuine

I have been dealing with license trade holders and reputable wholesalers in UK.
I have never came across any issue.
This is one side of my business.

DVDs are something i have not dealt with.

My accounts are real and stealth. I have never came across any issues regarding this. That's due to receipts and invoices have always been valid.

Thank you all for your answers. China is absolutely a big NO NO.

Re: Importing goods on regular basis.
 

The problem is that you cannot completely dismiss China anymore, they are an emerging market force, and no one else can really compete with them for price, certainly not in the UK, and there is no manufacturing of any value here any more, it's fine saying you use UK wholesalers but where are they getting their goods from, China by any other name

Re: Importing goods on regular basis.
 

For low end manufacturing like textiles and footwear, they are already moving production out of China because it's too expensive there to do business anymore. My main supplier has moved to Vietnam and Cambodia.

Re: Importing goods on regular basis.
 

Hi, I had a bad expierience with these as they are mostly not CE certified and ebay sooner or later will ban you from selling these. Try not tpo buy a huge quantity from China.

Re: Importing goods on regular basis.
 

Also, you have to remember that if your chinese connection is so willing to screw Disney, sooner or later tjey will screw YOU.

Re: Importing goods on regular basis.
 

High risk.

Disney is savage with hounding sellers.

A big tip: NEVER use your home address for importation of any items EVER

:eek:

revise this plan STAT.

Re: Importing goods on regular basis.
 

Oh god - I hope home address was not used....can only hope

Re: Importing goods on regular basis.
 

Haven't imported anything yet so haven't use my home address.

The only time I have used my home address is for my personal small items.
