Shopify China Dropshipping
The dangers and opportunities of extra-EU dropshipping
How to find China dropshipping suppliers for Shopify is explained in this video. We deal with the dangers and opportunities of out-of-stock dropshipping, i.e. when you drop ship your goods to a third party. from China. Luciano from eBakery explains more in the video.
Except-EU Dropshipping
We have received several messages that you are still interested in China dropshipping and that is why we want to address it as well. However, at the beginning I would like to talk to you about the difficulties in this area. Let’s start with the import guidelines, there are certain import guidelines that then in turn lead to certain taxes. You should talk to a tax advisor for this. Because if it should happen that you drive nevertheless somewhat higher conversions, you must know where you, how, what tax. Be sure to consult a tax advisor, because I don’t know when you will see the video and what the laws are at that time.
Furthermore, I would advise you to contact institutions like the Händlerbund to make your store legally secure. There are many other institutions – such as the Händlerbund – that offer similar services. I am sure if you look /research you will find something. Likewise, it makes sense to take care of insurance, which has also been around for about four years now. An insurance policy that specifically relates to the e-commerce sector. In addition to the import guidelines, there are of course also certain certificates that are required in the EU area or in the German area. As the simplest example is the CE mark. That simply dictates how an electrical device must function. It should be noted that in most cases China suppliers either do not have these certificates, or falsify them. Therefore, also deal with how to validate the certificates.
Shopify China Dropshipping Hazards
Licensing law – also very important. You have to keep in mind that when you choose product images from Aliexpress merchants or other dropshipping providers from China, that they are using images that may not belong to them, in which things are also purely photoshopped. In most cases you can tell, but not in every one, by the way, I speak from experience on this. This can quickly lead to warnings, which can be in the five-digit range and that hurts a beginner very much. So import guidelines, obtain possible certificates, observe, validate. And third, licenses – think about licenses by rules – for example, do not just sell Disney or trademarked products. Example Mickey Mouse, BMW etc. If you have thought about this, have chosen an insurance and possibly involved institutions such as the dealer association, then you could possibly start progressively with China. Unfortunately, it is a very lucrative model, because the margins are very high and also most of the dropshippers have started there, even very big brands have started as dropshipping, with China dropshipping. Therefore, this is very lucrative, it is implementable with a few hurdles, but as I said please pay attention to what I told you.
Shopify China Dropshipping Advantages
Let’s start now. Let’s go in. You can use Oberlo, you can use Dsers, you can use CJ Dropshipping, or you can use an agent. Well, what is an agent? An agent usually lives in China, maybe not far from the dropshipping provider you want to choose and can check the goods or offer other delivery options. You’ll quickly realize if you’re working with an agent or even Oberlo, Dsers, Sourcing Box, CJ Dropshipping, whatever interface you’re going to work with to get products here from Aliexpress, you’ll quickly find that you have to deal with shipping service providers.
Again since I don’t know when you’re watching the video, back in the day for the early days of dropshipping ePacket was the best option, now it’s not. There are other new options, again you should read up and then talk to your agent or choose the right shipping service start on your platform. What distinguishes an agent from the platforms Sourcing Box, Oberlo, CJ Dropshipping? It’s simple: you can talk to him directly, he can write you invoice directly, because that will be an issue again. Because the invoices are ultimately the proof of your expenses, for your accounting. And here nothing should be done wrong, you must not forget that I your supplier is located on another continent and is legally intangible or not quite so easily tangible. If something goes wrong, you can’t just lawyer up and go into litigation with someone from the Far East. Most of the time it backfires and you should be aware of that. You can’t hold someone accountable from the Far East, at least not that easily, at least not as a beginner. Because that is the danger, because you will be declared as a manufacturer. oberl

But let’s get back to the good points: the margin is very high, you can quickly find out through research which products are selling, for that you can just use Facebook or Instagram to find impulse buy products there, because those are dropshipping products in the end. You know them something like a massage gun or a dog LED collar, these are all dropshipping products.
Let’s summarize briefly: there are different interfaces and there is an agent, this agent will possibly also recommend an interface to you, because the agent can also make sure that the order is triggered, that the shipment number is added to the order via him, and you therefore have no work at all – which is the whole purpose of dropshipping – except for the support of course, if you of course make enough sales, you can hire someone for that. Let’s summarize: there are interfaces, there is an agent, you should consider the legal things and then you can start.
