Sell Your Products in China — With Clarity
Market research, trademark registration, cross-border store setup and daily operations — one bilingual team on the ground in Qingdao. 你好，中国欢迎你。
Strategy and Execution. One Team.
We are not a consultancy that hands you a slide deck and walks away. We set up your store, translate your listings, file your trademark, arrange the bonded warehouse and run your ads — all from our team in Qingdao.
This is ongoing market operations — not a one-time project.
China Is the World's Largest E-commerce Market. Getting In Requires More Than Ambition.
Most small brands that fail in China fail for one of three reasons: the wrong entry model, the wrong local partner, or the wrong timeline. Not because their product was bad.
Wrong Entry Model
Jumping into a full China entity or an expensive flagship store before validating demand. We start with the lightest path that sells.
Wrong Local Partner
Vendors who quote low, subcontract everything, and report in vague monthly emails. We do the work ourselves and report with evidence.
Wrong Timeline
Expecting quarter-one profits. China rewards brands that plan a multi-year build — we tell you the honest numbers up front.
How It Works
From first call to first sales, in weeks — not years.
Research & Strategy
Market size and competition audit · entry path recommendation · pricing and margin analysis · trademark search and filing.
Setup
Store or account registration · localized Chinese listings · brand website and RED/WeChat accounts · bonded warehouse arrangement.
Launch & Marketing
KOL/KOC seeding on RED · launch campaign · paid ads on Tmall/Douyin · first promotions and sampling.
Operations & Growth
Daily store management · customer service · shopping-festival campaigns (11/11, 6/18) · monthly English performance reports.
Three Ways In. One Is Right for You.
The entry model does not have to be the forever model — it is a starting point, not a permanent commitment. Many brands add a China entity later, once demand is proven.
| Model | China Entity | Setup Time | Product Compliance | Investment Level | Brand Control |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cross-Border E-CommerceMost Common | Not required | 4–8 weeks | Mostly bypassed | Low–Medium | Full |
| Local Distributor | Not required | Varies | Full | Low | Low |
| WFOE (Own Company) | Required | 3–12 months | Full | High | Full |
What We Do
Eight services that take a small business from "we'd love to sell in China" to "our products are selling in China" — priced for small-business budgets.
Sell Into China: Entry Strategy
Your product meets 1.4 billion consumers. We assess demand for small-brand budgets, pick the right entry path and design your China pricing.
USD 1,500Cross-Border E-commerce Setup
We open and run your storefront where Chinese shoppers actually buy: Tmall Global, JD Worldwide, Douyin Global — setup, translation and launch included.
USD 2,000 / platformTrademark & Brand Protection
Register your trademark in China before someone else does — first-to-file rules make early registration critical before you sell anything here.
USD 400 / classShipping & Customs into China
Get your goods through the border without surprises: customs classification, duty calculation and bonded-warehouse or direct-mail fulfillment.
USD 300 / shipment planChinese Brand Website
A Chinese-language brand site your Chinese customers and partners can actually open — ICP filing, domestic hosting, fast loading behind the Great Firewall.
USD 599WeChat & Social Presence
Chinese consumers check you out on WeChat before they buy. We set up your Official Account and social proof so you look established from day one.
USD 899China Market Research
Know if China wants your product before you spend: demand, competitors, pricing and regulations in plain English — scoped for small-business budgets.
USD 1,200China Desk (Monthly)
Your own China team without hiring one: a named contact who handles customers, suppliers and platform issues in your timezone gap.
USD 800 / monthThe Honest Costs, Up Front
Most agencies hide platform fees. We publish them. Selling on Tmall Global involves costs paid directly to the platform — separate from our service fees:
| Tmall Global Platform Cost | Typical Range |
|---|---|
| Refundable security deposit | USD 8,000 – 25,000 |
| Annual technical service fee | USD 0 – 10,000 |
| Sales commission | 2% – 5% |
| Cross-border tax (most categories) | ~9.1% |
That is why we recommend starting with lighter cross-border routes from USD 2,000 in service fees, not a flagship store. And one honest warning: year one is an investment year — marketing spend often matches or exceeds initial sales. Plan a multi-year build, not a quarterly experiment.
Why Small Businesses Choose Us
China has huge opportunity and real barriers. Big agencies price out small brands — we don't.
Fully Bilingual, Nothing Lost in Translation
Communication in your language, execution in ours. Every document, contract and listing ships in both English and native-level Chinese.
On the Ground in Qingdao
A real team inside China — filing paperwork, talking to platforms, checking shipments in person. Not a freelancer network, not outsourced.
Fixed, Published Prices
Every service on this site has a starting price you can read right now. No retainers, no surprise invoices, no supplier commissions — we work only for you.
Senior-Led, One Point of Contact
The person who scopes your project is the person who runs it. No bait-and-switch to junior staff.
Sell-Ready in Weeks, Not Years
We focus on the fastest viable path — cross-border e-commerce first, deeper channels when the numbers justify them.
Built for Small Budgets
Big agencies need USD 30K+ engagements. Our services start at USD 300 — the same China, sized for you.
Key Terms, Plainly Explained
China market entry comes with its own vocabulary. Here is what the words actually mean for your decision.
Cross-Border E-Commerce (CBEC)
Selling to Chinese consumers from bonded warehouses outside mainland China. Most product categories bypass local registration — the fastest viable entry path for small brands.
Tmall Global
Alibaba's marketplace for foreign brands, with no China entity required. If your brand is not on Tmall Global, Tmall or Douyin, most Chinese consumers cannot find it.
KOL / KOC
Key Opinion Leaders (large influencers) and Key Opinion Consumers (micro-influencers). For most foreign brands, KOL/KOC seeding on RED is the main driver of early sales.
RED (Xiaohongshu)
China's lifestyle platform with 300M+ monthly users. Product research happens here before purchase — if your brand does not appear on RED, it effectively does not exist.
Bonded Warehouse
Goods are stocked in a Chinese free-trade zone before sale, enabling 1–3 day domestic delivery while legally remaining cross-border.
First-to-File Trademarks
China awards trademarks to whoever files first — not whoever uses the brand first. Early filing is critical, before any launch activity.
