Guest guest Posted May 17, 2003 Report Share Posted May 17, 2003 Listmembers, I'm a little fed up having to buy my herbs from suppliers in the UK, who either send me the wrong thing or won't give me the customer service i would like. Does anyone know how to import herbs from China, and who to speak to in China? Attilio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 17, 2003 Report Share Posted May 17, 2003 Attilio, You are in the same position ordering from China as you are in ordering from Chinese importers in the UK. Except you get to have the unique headache of all the import work. Also you can't return your herbs to China if you discover you've got the wrong herbs or inferior quality. Unless you decide to dedicate your life to the work of herbal sourcing rather than practicing CM, you're better off working with whatever sources exist in your area. Another detail is that it's challenging to bring in herbs at a reasonable price and with good quality unless you do two things. First, you need to avoid buying from large markets in Hebei and Hunan Province and find true sources usually under the supervision of a local agronomist. Second you must be willing to buy enough to fill at least a small (20-foot) container. If you end up just buying from an export company in a major city, you are worse off than buying from the Chinese importer in your locality. I'll speak with you off list regarding further information. I'm the general manager of a company that specifically does this work. We are mostly in China, and we are the Chinese exporter as well as the American importer. I'm not into advertising my business on these forums as I would consider such advertising spam and an inappropriate use of the public forum.
