Importation
China Importation
For several years, China has been one of the emerging countries whose rate of export does not cease increasing. Indeed, China exports many products, not only to the United States, but also to the other emerging countries including Europe and France.
That is mainly due to the low cost of the Chinese labour and also to the not very significant number of laws concerning social protection. The French products have enormous difficulties entering into competition with imported products of China.
The principal products imported by France coming from China belong to the textile industry (clothing, bags, and belts) and to the industry of the toys. More than 85% of the world toys are manufactured in China.
However, only the products meeting the European or French standards are allowed on the territory. It is thus necessary to have knowledge of these standards before introducing the products on the territory, to avoid the penalty of having (them recalled) and having to return them to China. The sectors of data processing and electronics are not in remainder: digital cameras, telescopes, television sets (in particular screens LCD, HD, plasma....). Other products, such as watches or washing machines, also form part of the various products that France imports from China.
It is true, that, to take advantage of the goods exported from China or the services, one should not launch into the business of import-export without taking precautions. Companies are specialized to help you in your transactions of importation.
They know the laws of the exporting countries, the forms of customs, the various means of transport for your products and the compulsory insurances for their transfer towards France.
