Your Agent in Yiwu Market

Yiwu International Trade City is the largest wholesale market for small goods in China, with nearly 80,000 booths and more than 2.1 million types of goods. Many booths sell in small quantities, so you can buy dozens of different products in one trip. But the market is huge, prices are agreed in Chinese, and goods from many booths have to be collected, checked and packed for export.

JIEYI works as your Yiwu sourcing agent and freight forwarder. We work with Yiwu suppliers in person, not only online: we find the right booths and factories, agree prices, arrange samples, follow your orders, arrange inspection, pay the suppliers once you approve, and ship everything to you.

What You Can Buy in Yiwu Market

Yiwu market is organised by product type across several districts, each a building of thousands of booths run by factories and trading companies. It is best known for:

Toys, party supplies and seasonal decorations, including Christmas and festival goods.
Jewellery, hair accessories and fashion accessories.
Stationery, gifts and crafts.
Household goods, kitchenware and storage items.
Bags, small hardware, tools and electrical accessories.
Socks, gloves, scarves and other small textile goods.

Yiwu suits buyers who need many different products in small quantities: shops, wholesalers, online sellers and Amazon sellers testing new products. Many booths can add simple customisation, such as your logo or your own packaging, depending on the product and the quantity. For opening hours, travel and buying tips, see our Yiwu market guide.

Yiwu Market or a Factory in Guangdong?

	Yiwu market	Factory direct (e.g. Guangdong)
Minimum order	Often low, sometimes per carton	Usually higher, per product and colour
Product range	Many products in one place	One product type per factory
Price	Good for small and mixed orders	Usually lower for large volumes
Customisation	Simple: logo, packaging, colours	Full: your own design, moulds and materials
Quality consistency	Varies between booths, so inspection matters	Easier to control on repeat orders
Best for	Mixed small goods, test orders, shops and online sellers	Your own products, large or repeat orders

Many buyers use both: small and mixed items from Yiwu, main products from factories. We can source from both and ship them together. See our China sourcing agent service for factory sourcing.

Shipping from Yiwu

Once the goods from all your Yiwu suppliers are ready, there are two ways to ship them:

	Ship directly from Yiwu	Combine in Guangdong
How it works	Goods are collected in Yiwu and leave through Ningbo, the nearest main port	Goods are trucked to our warehouse in Guangdong and shipped with your other orders
Best when	Most of your goods come from Yiwu	You also buy from suppliers in Guangdong or South China
Benefit	Shortest route for Yiwu goods	One shipment, one set of documents, one delivery

Either way, we compare LCL, FCL, air and express once the total volume is known, and can deliver door to door with duties paid. See China consolidation services, DDP shipping and Amazon FBA shipping.

How We Check Yiwu Suppliers and Goods

Before you order: we check the supplier’s business licence and whether it makes the goods or trades them, and compare samples from more than one booth.
Before shipment: pre-shipment inspection by our inspection partner checks quantity, appearance, function and packing, with a photo report in English.
Before payment: we pay a supplier only after you approve the goods, so problems are fixed while the goods are still in Yiwu.
Before loading: cartons are counted and matched to your order list, and the invoice and packing list are checked against the goods.

Products with batteries, liquids, magnets or powders need extra documents for shipping. Tell us before you order; see shipping batteries from China.

JIEYI also handles the freight, so one team covers everything from the market to your door.
