Q: how can i send infant baby formula/health producs to china from australia
i am planning to send baby infant milk powder to China. I want to find buyers from China. NEED HELP
haha
you have missed the boat on this one .
most of us send to our families in China now so unless you have people in China you are going to have a hard time breaking into the market
I think you saw a news story on Australian tv and want to try cash in on it .
because if you had a conection to the Chinese community in Australia you would all ready know how to do it as it is not exactly a secret.
so good luck with your research

We just do it by post, despite postage being way more than the actual powder, it is still cheaper than to try and buy legally imported formula. We didn't use a single tin of it for our own baby though, as should most women not need. We have helped several of our friends get formula, I will always tag a note to them saying that "if they don't have enough milk then they are not committed to parenting", it is really only a small (less than 5) percentage of women who cannot produce enough milk.
Who needs an off the books job??

How much will you pay me to run your business for you?
AusfoodApr 19,2016New
All depends..We are more than happy to talk with you to regardgin this. Our plan is to send the products as gifts from here to China and you have to find a buyers form there. As per there is a huge demand for baby infant formulas and health products like bee honey and vitamins over there we will be able to start a successful business. Let me know your thoughts and we can give you a skype call today to discuss this matter further .
Thanks

I got something similar today. 7 'Hello's' and 1 'I am not from China. Can you help me?'.

Today is International Yangist Day. So he's having a week off.
Do you have a business plan?
What is your capital outlay?
What will you pay anyone in China?
Are you trying to avoid paying tax by sending the products as gifts?
What is your track record in running a business like?
How much research have you done into this?

@iWolf,
it seems that the OP wants someone in China to do all the work for them for an indeterminate amount of money.
great business plan guys 
Clueless so needs to post on a predominantly expat/migrant forum.
I want to make money, I need someone to do all the work and take all the risks (this will be an illegal operation) while I just sit back and collect the money. Any takers?

Very similar post as 'How can Chinese get an USA tourist visa' few months ago.
Sinobear:
Or:
They: Can you help me to set up an English training Center? You pay all of the money, rent the location, get the licenses(s), prepare the curriculum, supply the materials, find the students, advertise and promote the venture. And teach. And baby-sit.
Me: And, what will you do?
They: I thought of the idea so I will just take 95% of your profits.
your SOL my friend, unless you do it legally with import stickers on the product, most people with a brain that does more than memorize , small minority, will think its a fake copy of real milk powder from another country, they fake everything here including eggs, so good luck with your futile interest.
if you want to have a successful long term business in China, do it by proper official imports after product approval from govt. This plan of sending goods as gifts to buyers is flawed to say the least.
You need a customer base. That's the most valuable asset.
The only way you stand out, is by living in a Chinese community. You don't need to be liked, just widely seen and discussed. It was easy for me as only foreigner in a small village. Only if people have seen you living in China, will they believe you are real when selling to them. And you can't communicate without a Chinese-speaking partner. The only partner you can trust is a committed wife.
It wasn't my plan from the beginning, but it was what my stay in China amounted to. After 3 years, we went to Europe and set up a legal export business. It's going well. It is the only source of income I can imagine for me, that allows me to stay with my kids all day.
If you do it, remember that it doesn't matter whether you are selling baby formula, watches, make up, beauty products, bottles of mountain air or used cars. You are selling trust. It's what Chinese lack in the market at home, and even though there may be real products on offer in China, you become the only source they can trust.
Your business is ironclad if you can maintain trust. Even if the producer of the product were to sell directly on TaoBao, they can't compete with you. Your Chinese customers will trust your handling over even supplier-approved intermediaries in China. Because they know you (and your wife's family; unavoidable accountability).
ScotsAlan:
Yup coin. It needs to be legal. But I suspect the OP wants to avoid that. You are spot on about trust. Trust is worth the extra cost. Too easy for vendors to sell genuine stuff the first few times then swap to local copy. My wife always bought from a trusted source, even though it was 100RMB more per can. The downside of course is that the profits can easily drive people to cheat. Local baby milk is more than likely perfectly safe now, but the demand for imports also drives the demand for fake. And the copyists are happy to oblige.
this would be similiar to the job openings of foreign business developer. Always laugh about that. Hey, you find us clients abroad and we give you 2000 rmb base salary and 0.000001% commission. And hey we also don't give you any clue how to start because we also don't know
