1. What is China import proxy buying? What does it do?
China import proxy buying is a service that handles everything for you — from sourcing products in China to inspection, packing, international logistics and delivery to Japan.
Specifically, we support all of the following:
- Purchasing on Chinese EC sites such as Taobao, 1688 and Tmall
- Direct negotiation and order placement with Chinese factories and manufacturers
- Inspection, packing and warehouse management by local staff
- Arranging international logistics (air freight, sea freight, international courier)
- Manufacturing support for your own brand via OEM/ODM
- Support for both B2B and B2C shipping
Even if you don't speak Chinese or can't deal directly with Chinese suppliers, an import agent lets you start a China business across the language barrier. At allallbuy, we provide one-stop support from import proxy buying and sourcing to inspection, OEM and international logistics.
