Hi all
I need a bit of advice from anyone who has knowledge about clothing imports from China.
I am in retail and recently we are not too happy with one of our suppliers. So I looked around on the internet and found a few Chinese suppliers. (I speak Mandarin).
I remembered a few years ago, when I was just starting out, I looked into the Chinese market for supply. I realised that there is an EU law where an import license is needed to import clothing from China. And so I gave up that idea.
So a few questions:
1) Is that law still applicable?
2) If I need a license to bring the clothes in, where can I get one? (someone told me it is a lottery basis?!?). I wonder how do those import companies get their license then?
3) I am looking into importing 150-400 pieces for this consignment. Do I need a license for this?
Many Thanks to anyone who might know.
Regards
