The China import game changes every year. What was profitable in 2024 might be saturated in 2026. Based on what we are actually shipping from our Guangzhou warehouse and what buyers are asking for, here are the top 10 product categories to import from China right now.

The outdoor and emergency power market exploded and it is not slowing down. Solar generators, portable power stations (300W-2000W), and foldable solar panels are some of the highest-margin products we ship. A $150 factory price translates to $400-600 retail. This category requires quality verification โ€” cheap batteries are dangerous.
