Distributors and wholesalers should evaluate more than product price when importing commercial kitchen equipment from China. The long-term cost depends on stable models, clear specifications, packing quality and spare parts communication.
Confirm product-market fit first
A model that sells well in one market may not fit another market because of voltage, menu habits, kitchen size, safety expectations or price level. Share target customer type before asking for bulk pricing.
Export packing and documentation
Wooden case packing, product labels, container loading and damage prevention should be discussed before shipment. For multiple products, distributors should also confirm how mixed loading will be arranged.
