Hello all,
I am visiting Guangzhou in China to source some leather handbags, artificial leather handbags, silk dresses, costume jewellery and the like. I have already made some contact with suppliers and wholesalers from whom I have been importing from for over a year now. Is there any useful general advice for my visit there (I am lining up an interpreter and guide as we speak).
Secondly can anyone recommend freight agents whom are willing to work with small scale importers such as my self? I am based in London and would be using airfreight. URLs, phone numbers would be great.
Thanks

I am guessing you are attending the Canton fair? You can pick up an interpreter outside the complex in Guangzhou and would suggest you allow yourself several days to visit factories once you have selected potential suppliers....remember China is a big place so this could mean a fair bit of travelling in China in order to find the best deal. Agents in the UK....I recommend Woodland International Transport Company Limited depends on how small scale you are talking! Might be worth organising it yourself if you are using UPS/DHL/TNT etc. See you there!
