Hi mystech, thanks for your advise. So, do you travel to import or place order for shipment?

both ways. When working with the people in china, if you want the newest stuff, you have to make a trip there. only once you have established a relationship, you can cut down on the trips. They will send photos of what they have. Ultimately, if you order off the web, well, others can do it too.

Wink Re: Starting a New Business
I am very sick of working for others and I am thinking of starting a small pushcart business. Like to check with any expertise here who can teach me a thing or two. My main queries: 1) Where to get product to sell? 2) How much start up should I prepare? 3) If I bring in product from overseas myself, do I have to pay tax?

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me along. Thanks again

1)Depends on what you want to bring in. But alot of stuff are made in china lately. Clothings, I think mainly korea.

2)start up cost depends. But generally you need to plan for at least 6 mths of absolute no income.

3)if you bring in under $400 worth of goods, you can list it as samples, etc.


All these are very straight forward answers. But simplest put, whatever you put in, you should be be prepared to lose whatever money you put in.
