The Days of Easy DIY Importing from China to the USA by Promo Distributors are Over!
Prepare to get ready to be buried under paperwork, have your goods caught in customs and possibly returned to China, this will not be pretty.
Firstly, before you react, know this….”I have no dog in the politics of this fight!”
Before anyone accuses me of being Anti-Trump or somesuch nonesense let me say this. I am a Canadian and cannot vote in the USA. I personally do not care who is President. I also think that the current business climate is pretty good and the economy’s rosey health allows me to employ a number of American citizens.
“In short I have no dog in this fight so please before you send me some nasty email don’t, this info is for your info on the promo business!”
how to direct import your promotional products ask us.
Secondly, I have been an importer from China to the US since 1992. I have seen this before and I know what I am talking about!
Back in 1992 (The Dark Ages), I was one of the first promo suppliers to go directly to China (and other countries) to source finished goods for the North American and European markets.
My job was to be the head of the import hammer for a very large denim factory that produced goods for Levi’s, Lee, Wrangler plus our ad specialty division called ID Wear. At that time there was numerous tariffs, duties etc in place which made importing finished goods from China to the US very very dificult.
promo motive factory direct
Why did we have tarrifs in the first place?
Originally there were T&D (Tariffifs and Duties) in place to protect the American manufacturing market not because China was an economic threat, but because China was a Communist country and a global political threat.
In 1993 their economy was just slightly ahead of Afghanistan/Pakistan region and just below that of Italy. See below.
“Since 1993 a lot has changed!”
china in 1993
During the Period 1993-2005
Sometime in the early 2000’s, China received “most favored nation status” from the USA. This basically meant we in the west no longer cared that they were/are Communist and instead we wanted to do business with them. Basically we all went crazy in an effort to do business with China….”It was Belly up to the bar boys lets make money, who cares if they’re Commies! 🙂 ”
“As the years ticked by, 93, 96, 98, 2000 etc… all T&D’s slowly got to be less costly and required way less paperwork.”
This slow rollback of T&D was an intentional move by the US Gov’t to allow American manufacturers who made products for our domestic wholesale and retail markets (such as goods for the Promotional Products industry) to have a long time to get their factory’s more lean and competitive.
or…alternatively…to turn get those same American Manufactuers (circa 1993-2005) to become an American Importer of the same finished goods.
“Wanna read something interesting..? Check out the Fortune 500 TOP list of American Business in 1999, How many of these are long gone? Click Here”
in 2019 promotional products are going to be much harder to import.
Meanwhile…
During this period (circa 1993-2005) virtually all of the large USA based promotional product factories that made everything at that time from molded custo products to keychains to lanyards, stainless steel waterbottles, clothing, et etc etc.. here in the USA, all but dissapeared.
Along with the US promo factories closings we also lost all the skilled laborers who made these goods. They either retired or went on to a new career.
“In short…Most people who worked in American factories from 1993-2005 are now doing something completely different. They are working elsewhere, the unemployment rate today is at historic lows, they have to be”
promo motive factory direct
My Story
Our denim factory employed nearly 400 denim sewers and cutters. Since 2006 it is fully closed.
These skilled positions often employed multi-generations of the same family (mostly immigrants) all working at low wages. We paid low wages so that the jeans and denim goods we made were affordable to the American consumer. If we paid more we were not competitive and they went to Turkey, Eastern Europe, Asia..etc.
“It is now almost 2019, these formerly skilled low wage domestic factory workers have not laid denim to Juki in 14 years. They no longer are skilled in that field of manufacturing and are making more money”
Think About It This Way. If I could open a jeans factory and hire them all back at their old jobs they would A) not know what to do as they have long lost those skills or B) Have succesfully gone on to other careers.
“My best guess is that if you are directly importing as of January 1. 2019 you should expect paperwork, more paperwork, money, extra costs and assorted other BS. T&D, they’re back!”
how do i know
How do I know?
I have imported since 1993 and during the period 93/2005 we had to fill in HS codes, arrange to pay duties and brokerage everytime we imported a sample or a boatload of goods (read more)
The paperwork was the worst as in1993 there were over 14,000 of these codes each one specifically link to a specific product. Each code triggering a different tax/duty rate.
Think of it this way, a 100% stainless steel waterbottle is one code (ie HS 18112XXXX) and has a tariff rate as of January 2019 of 25%.
However a plastic lined stainless steel waterbottle (75% stainless steel, 25% plastic) has a different HS code (ie.HS 18332XXX)…this code has a lower tariff/duty of 12% as of January. If you don’t know the new codes you will likely pay the highest tax, not the correct tax!
will prices of finished goods rise in the promo product business
There are 3 main problems that you need to be on the lookout for as a Distributor.
Be very very careful to do your paperwork properly as part of problem is now with the US Customs end of the process. US Custom agents who have not dealt with T&D’s since 2005 (or who never dealt with them if they have been hired since 2005) now have to deal with over 12,000 NEW HS Codes that help them determine the cost/tax to charge you.
As well, on the Chinese factory side, the people there have never had to deal with HS codes etc. The current paperwork is dead simple. The new paperwork is not.
Promo suppliers in the US now have a golden opportunity to raise all of their inventory product prices for 2019 to their highest level and simply blame it all on the new Tarrifs & Duties.
“I expect that the promo supplier who imports and warehouses goods will raise their prices to the highest possible amount in a profit grab and blame it all on the new Tariffs!”
promo motive factory direct
What do we see happening now?
As a direct promo supplier/importer, we are already seeing a growing storm of problems, barriers. Thankfully, we have prepared for this eventuality as we saw this possibly coming over the past 12 months.
We are already seeing US customs requiring more precise documents, accurate HS coding and tons of paperwork. So much so that we have hired 2 extra people, one here in the USA and one in China to deal specifically with these issues.
Prices are going to go up, get used to it!
Unfortunately there are NO DOMESTIC manufacturers to take up the slack and fill in the supply chain as prices and products from China go up as a result of the new tax.
TV’s and just about everything else are not about to be manufactured here!
The bit above about TV’s can be applied to tons of other industries, many that affect our promo business.
T shirts, wearables, backpacks, tools, coffee mugs etc etc are NOT GOING TO BE MADE IN THE USA and even if were to make them THEY WILL STILL BE MORE EXPENSIVE THAN THE IMPORT INCLUDING T&D, BY A LONGSHOT.
The occasional importer is doomed. As a Distributor do you do your own importing?

In my opinion, I believe in the year 2018 (and going forward), sole reliance on ASI by both Suppliers and Distributors is likely bad for your business. Here are my reasons and opinions.
First, a little background info.
We are a Supplier and over the past 25 years I have been in this business on both sides, first in the 90’s as a Distributor and in the last 15 years as a Supplier. Here is my informed opinion.
Everything in ASI’s marketing offers for Suppliers is “Pay for Play”. This means that every time a Distributor does an ASI search or sees a flyer or any info from ASI, the results that a Distributor sees have all been paid to be there.
Nothing shown to Distributors is a result of a product’s popularity or uniqueness.
This means that every Distributor using or seeing the ASI search or info is fed the same “Pay for Play” results as every other Distributor.
So, if a Distributor thinks they have seen a “special” or a “unique product” that no one else has seen and forwarded that “special” to their end-user, you can be sure that your competitor Distributor may very well be sending the exact same “special” to their end-users as well.
Distributors, ask yourself this: “What distinct advantage am I offering my client/prospect if all I use is the same info as my competitor uses?”
My Opinion: The future of our business is in your ability to break the ASI-only habit and think differently.
FACT: Today’s end user has an average age of 35 years while the average ASI member is 57, this means that the end user was raised on GOOGLE search as their go-to solution while the ASI member is more steeped in the old school ASI paradigm of catalogs and supplier/distributor sanctity. If this is true, you need to think more like the end user.
Look outside of ASI as well as inside.
ASI is for profit and will let seemingly anyone in. As a Promotional Products Supplier, I opted out of ASI specifically because I was seeing Chinese factories getting ASI numbers as Suppliers and even more outrageously as Distributors!
In fact, not 1 month ago I had a conversation with ASI membership on this very matter.
As you can imagine, I get solicited by ASI to join and about a month ago I found a “Supplier/Distributor” in California selling a similar product as what we import from our factory in China for a price that was so low it had to be a Chinese factory masquerading as a US Supplier/Distributor.
Their website was very poorly done, the site being full of typical language problems that are a tell-tale sign of a Chinese-owned company. Their email was answered at night (Chinese time) and their toll free # had a Chinese accented response. Go figure.
I called ASI and said simply: “If you keep asking me to return as a Supplier member, I need reassurance that this issue will disappear. They listened and as far as I can see, did nothing. They did not call me back, the Chinese site still has an ASI number. I had to ask myself… Why would this behavior happen?
My guess is for profit, pure and simple. In the last few years – when I was an ASI Supplier member – I paid ASI well over $60,000 a year on average.
This was for membership dues, trade shows and ad placement. Ad placement or “Pay for Play”…as an example, we paid $1500 a day for half of the banner ads for a single day. So $6000 a month for 1 days a week banner display on only 50% of each of that days search result.
“So for only 4x 1-day ads a month – with only HALF the Distributor views – the cost was $6000 in total per month.”
Remember – the cost incurred by any business ultimately gets passed along to the consumer. That would be YOU!
In Closing…
I am not saying that you should stop ASI altogether or that ASI is in any way to blame for the current state of the industry, but what I am saying and trying to do is start an industry dialog that gives you (the Distributor) a better insight into all of the factors that affect your business.
I feel it is important that for Distributors to succeed in the online age, they need to get out of their comfort zone and look in places outside of ASI for innovative product options.
I firmly believe that the Distributor’s strongest hand to play is to offer their clients/end-users something different than their competitor is offering. Given the information outlined above, can you be innovative and competitive in 2018 using ASI as your ONLY source for promotional products?

New Products are the Heartbeat of the Promotional Product Industry.
In a 24 Billion dollar a year industry whose main purpose is to promote and sell eye-catching products that make their client’s logo stand-out, we are often pretty uninspiring!
I have been a supplier, manufacturer of promotional products since 1993. I have had my sleeves rolled up at all levels of this business including custom clothing, tech, custom designed USB’s and trend setting geek stuff. I have worked as a supplier to promo for 25 years. I know this business just about as well as it can be understood.
“Distributors and Suppliers are supposed to be creative, so why are we so boring?”
New Ideas for Promo!
I believe the best way to get new ideas into the promotional market is to look at what’s trending on social media and on sites like Kickstarter.
We all tend to get into a daily rut and don’t look outside of our comfort zone. This is human nature, we all do it. However, if you reach beyond the comfort zone, this is where you will find out more about new ideas and what customers are looking for.
Paper Tyvek Wallets are a Perfect Example.
Some Distributors look at the Tyvek wallet and ask me WTF! They will say, “only old men use wallets”… “this is only for Guys – I need something for both sexes!”…when I hear these responses I know a couple of things: 1) they have not been speaking with any buyer under 35 and 2) They are just plain WRONG!
“These days, both guys and girls are using wallets like the above, they are called slimline… or slim… Google it – it’s a thing”
Custom Socks
Look down at your feet, right now! Look… what do you have on your feet? Socks! Everyone wears them, everyone loves them, you should sell them as your clients want them! Also, look in fashion retail stores around the planet. Everyone is selling (and presumably wearing) custom socks. Want to see more on the socks…? Click on this link.
“Custom Socks: what a great way to start a conversation about a brand!”
Last Straw: the folding drinking straw
Have you been living under a rock lately? If you have been (living under a rock) you are probably shaking your head and saying, “What the hell is a folding straw and why would I need one?”
You would also be wrong! We have sold over 50k of these little beauties in the past 2 months. Want to see more? Click on this link.

I just flew in from China and boy are my arms tired!
I want to reconnect as I have been in China over the last 10 days visiting 7 different factories and attending 2 major trade shows in China. I want to let you in on what’s new and what’s happening in the world of promotional products. Or as I like to say… Welcome to China!

We go to China so you don’t have to!
Maybe you think you want to go to China to find the latest and greatest in factory direct promotional swag for your clients? However, as I come to the end of my 30th or so trip to the Middle Kingdom, I would like to reflect on what it takes to really do China properly and how tough it is doing business with a country the same size as the USA and with 6 times the population!
Aside from the problems in dealing with a population of over 100 million crammed into an area the size of Florida (the cities of Shenzhen, Hong Kong and Guangzhou), there are a huge number of oddities unique to China to deal with. On this trip, the funniest one I came across was on a taxi trip.
In China a bad YELP review can cost you your life!
I was in a taxi in Shenzhen when the driver got a phone call. He pulled to a complete stop in the middle of 10 lanes of traffic and got out of the car to talk/yell on the phone for 8 minutes. Turns out the previous customer had forgotten his jacket in the cab and was threatening to leave a bad YELP review (Chinese Yelp) and in China a bad review will put you out of business (apparently).
After 8 minutes of the driver dodging traffic and yelling at the previous customer someone ran up to the taxi (the previous customer) and retrieved the jacket. The driver then got back in and off we went. Welcome to China.
The first new idea we came across is….
The reason I go to China as often as I do is to find new factory direct promotional ideas. I do this in a number of ways.
First, I walk two huge trade shows, one in Hong Kong and one in Shenzhen. Each day I walked just under 9 miles (as witnessed by my phone app).
I also visit a bunch of factories looking for ideas that no one else has. My goal is simple: find eye-catching products that are logo-viable.
The coolest new idea I saw is a collection of toasters and waffle irons that not only have the clients logo on them but can toast the logo onto the bread. These are very, very cool!

The second coolest new idea is….
Generally speaking, we don’t do bags. I usually find them way too boring and less than innovative. In my world I see many bag examples with crappy hardware, zippers and fabrics – all designed to come in at a price point that makes it “bound to fail”.
However, this collection of backpacks was so awesome we just had to get them into the line-up. What do you think? Email me and let me know!

The Art of the Deal… Chinese style!
The Trumpster has nothing on the Chinese. In fact, negotiating with the Chinese can either lead you to go home or to work harder. The following video snippet is of my factory manager and a new supplier haggling over the price and delivery of a new item.
Cool new idea #3 is…
The Sip Flip is a collection of folding and collapsible silicone water bottles, cups and coffee mugs. I LOVE this idea as it is eco-friendly, reusable and very eye-catching.

Breakfast…the most important meal of the day, except in China!
I am sure we all can agree that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. I love a great cup or four of coffee accompanied by a steaming bowl of oatmeal, fruit salad or perhaps a nice muffin, hot out of the oven. If this is your idea of a great way to start the day, then you are out of luck when visiting China.
China, world-renowned for great cuisine has somehow missed the boat when it comes to breakfast.
The most popular breakfast dish in China is this awful combination of chicken broth, macaroni noodles and sliced process ham. Yum… (uggh).

It was SO BAD I went to McDonalds!
The ‘western-style breakfast’ in China is so bad I actually went to McDonalds! Now you would think that a McDonalds here or a McDonalds there would all be the same wouldn’t you?
Not so fast! The following is the ‘happy go lucky McDonalds employee’ handing me my stone-cold egg McMuffin. My best advice if looking for breakfast while in China… go straight to lunch.

Cool new promo idea #4 is….
Puzzled by this? So was I… but after thinking it over, I know this could be huge.
There is a large movement in promo (and in life) to move away from digital ideas and towards more “analog” ideas. I see this where I live in the cafes that have a board game theme. In last year’s fidget spinner craze and in the trending ideas on social media that ask us all to “unplug.”
As we have a long history of doing custom shaped promos such as power banks, flash drives and others, the idea of making a custom shaped foam core puzzle in the shape of your clients product is very familiar.
Think of the idea below as a great example. (i.e.) The local Caterpillar dealer gets you to have us make one of their diggers done in a 3D puzzle complete with their logo on it. The end-user/recipient spends an hour “unplugged” making the puzzle and at the same time staring at the customers logo. Brilliant!

There is always that one weird idea that you find…
I really dig deep when I go to the shows and factories. I turn over every leaf and basket looking for new ideas to put your client’s logo on. This one was proudly displayed in the housewares section of the show. This makes me wonder what the rest of their house looks like?
I am also concerned on this one… where does the logo go?

Sometimes we all need a little help in understanding how to sell a new product or idea. Especially if it’s something where we do not fully understand it’s appeal.
Follow these easy steps and I will guarantee you will know how to sell the Last Straw.
Step 1 – Watch this video.
Step 2 – Reference the Turtle Video.
The video below has been watched well over 40 million times. The scientists who found this turtle in distress noticed something stuck in its nose. Warning: contains disturbing images.
Step 3 – Reference the Ban on Single Use Disposable Drinking Straws
Starbucks, McDonalds, Seattle, Vancouver and hundreds of countries and corporations and counting have decided to ban the single use disposable drinking straw.
Step 4 – Play Up the Emotional Appeal.
More people will buy it than will use it. Yup, it’s one of those things that say “Hey… I want to help save the planet and here’s my proof!”
Step 5 – Utilize Herd Mentality.
I remember way back 18 months ago we were ahead of the curve on fidget spinners. I was telling people: “Keep this in your mind… people will want it!” They thought I was crazy… (we sold over 500,000 spinners in 4 months). Herd mentality had arrived.
Step 6 –Tell Them ‘It’s the Right Thing to Do’.
Even if YOU do not think this is a good idea, a lot of people who have a finer tuned idea about the environment do think it is. In fact, another reusable straw company sold 80,000 units at $35 each. That’s proof enough.

Are you paying $2.50 or more for your stainless steel straws?
R U Nuckin Futs!
Some suppliers think they can fleece you with high prices on stainless steel straws just because they are HOT right now in both the retail and promo world.
We have seen suppliers charging $2.50 or more PLUS also charging set ups and freight… even set ups on repeat orders!
