Cost-Effective Scalability
Proven Global Standard
How China Compares Globally
China doesn’t operate in a vacuum. Businesses often weigh it against alternatives
Vietnam offers labor savings and tariff avoidance, but lacks the depth of supplier networks China provides.
Mexico is attractive for nearshoring to the U.S., but China’s economies of scale and advanced production remain unmatched.
Best for diversification into textiles or simpler electronics.
Ideal for companies prioritizing speed-to-market in North America.

Industries We Specialize in Within China
Industries Where China Sets the Global Standard
Whether it’s the rapid tooling of complex injection molds, precision CNC machining for aerospace components, high-volume electronics assembly in Shenzhen, or advanced textile production for performance apparel, China offers the infrastructure and supplier density to deliver at scale and speed. Competing regions like Vietnam and Mexico have carved out niches in cost-sensitive or nearshore production, but when it comes to sophisticated processes, high-volume runs, and consistent quality, China remains the benchmark that others measure against.
China leads the world in plastics and injection molding. From consumer goods to automotive parts, Chinese factories offer unmatched tooling speed, resins expertise, and finishing capabilities. For brands needing complex molds and high-volume production, China is the strongest option.
Vietnam’s edge: Better for smaller plastic runs and tariff-sensitive products.
China’s CNC machining and metal fabrication ecosystem is highly advanced, servicing industries like aerospace, automotive, and consumer electronics. Precision, tight tolerances, and finishing options are widely available at competitive prices.
Mexico’s edge: For nearshore metal and automotive supply chains tied closely to the U.S.
Shenzhen is globally recognized as the epicenter of electronics manufacturing. From circuit board assembly to consumer devices, China’s supplier network, expertise, and speed-to-market are unmatched.
Vietnam’s edge: Better for cost-sensitive, lower-complexity electronics assembly where tariff avoidance matters.
China’s textile industry excels in high-tech fabrics, performance wear, and specialized garments. Advanced dyeing, finishing, and compliance standards make it ideal for apparel brands requiring consistency and sophistication.
Vietnam’s edge: Lower labor costs, making it stronger for basic apparel and fast-fashion runs.

Frequently Asked Questions
If you need further assistance, feel free to reach out to our team!
What are the current U.S. tariffs on products imported from China?
As of September 23, 2025, most Chinese imports are still subject to Section 301 tariffs ranging from 7.5% to 25% on many goods. Some categories, such as electric vehicles, batteries, solar cells, and critical minerals, face much higher rates; in some cases up to 100%. In addition, the 2025 “Liberation Day” tariff package adds a base 10% tariff on most imports (excluding Canada and Mexico), which can bring the effective rate on Chinese goods to 30% or more, depending on the product. Exact duties depend on the product’s HTS code, so importers should always confirm classification and check for exclusions.
Why should I buy bulk in China?
China offers competitive pricing, scalable production, and access to diverse products, making it the ideal destination for bulk sourcing.
What types of products can Importivity source in China?
We specialize in sourcing electronics, apparel, industrial equipment, packaging materials, and more, tailored to your needs.
Are low-cost items (under $800) from China still duty-free?
Not anymore. Starting August 29, 2025, the U.S. will impose tariffs on all low-value shipments from China, ending the de minimis exemption. This includes either fixed fees or percentage-based duties per item.
How does Importivity ensure product quality in China?
We work with vetted suppliers and conduct thorough quality control inspections to meet your standards.
What’s the best way to start importing from China?
The first step is defining your specifications and using an RFQ. Importivity helps you match with the right supplier, oversee compliance, and streamline logistics.
Which industries are best to source from China?
China dominates in plastics, metals, textiles, and electronics. Advanced industries like semiconductors and precision CNC machining are especially strong here.
Why not choose Vietnam or Mexico instead?
Vietnam and Mexico are strong for cost-sensitive or nearshore needs. But when scale, sophistication, and speed matter most, China remains the top choice.
Can Importivity handle end-to-end logistics from China?
Yes. From freight forwarding to customs clearance, we manage the full process to ensure your products arrive on time and on budget.
