Home Goods Chinese Merchandiser Product Sourcing 1688 Must speak read and write Chinese. Local Chinese in China
Budget: $2 – $8 AUD
I’m looking for a seasoned Chinese merchandiser who knows 1688 inside out to uncover export-ready home goods—specifically the latest technology gadgets for the home and for pets—for the North-American market. I need help from initial product discovery all the way through supplier vetting and price negotiation, so a strong network and fluent Mandarin are essential.
Your task starts with researching trending, innovation-driven items that fit North-American tastes and safety standards, then short-listing real factories (not trading companies) that can hit low MOQs and competitive FOB terms. Because these items will ship to the U.S. and Canada, you’ll also verify any FCC, UL, or other compliance documentation up front.
Deliverables
• Curated list of at least 15 promising products (photo, 1688 link, specification sheet, MOQ, unit price, lead time).
• Supplier contact details and chat screenshots to confirm willingness to export.
• Side-by-side cost breakdown: EXW vs. FOB to a major Chinese port, plus estimated air/sea freight to the West Coast.
• Notes on necessary certifications or labeling for North America.
• Recommendation on the top three “quick-win” products to sample first, with sample costs arranged.
Once the list is approved, I’ll move on to sample orders and, if all checks out, full production. If you can also supervise inspections or manage logistics, let me know—those could become follow-on milestones.
