Notes on the Chinese Market

Generally speaking, there is a considerable interest in Italian food products. The usual approach of the Italian food companies in China is by participating in local fairs and special events. However, the biggest difficulty thereafter is the commercialization and the final delivery of the goods, which, considering the time spent to obtain the various needed certifications, such as products labels which have to be translated in Chinese and the time needed for a ship a delivery from Italy (30-35 days), usually requires not less than 120 days (in the most optimistic scenario) from the day the order was established.

Hence, the idea to establish a warehouse in the center of Shanghai, together with a network of experienced agents and managed by an Italian staff, in order to give the best possible service and have all products ready at hand to be delivered as soon as the client wishes.

As a result, our company is therefore able to deliver all over Shanghai within 24 hours and to the rest of China within 3 – 5 days.
