Are foreign trade stocks genuine products? What does foreign trade stocks mean?

When we buy things online, we sometimes see some merchants selling foreign trade stocks or tail goods, and there are often tail goods for sale. So, are foreign trade stocks genuine products? If you want to know the answer, read on.

Generally, yes

1. What does foreign trade inventory mean?

Foreign trade inventory is actually the goods purchased by foreign trade companies or produced by factories for export, which cannot be exported normally due to various reasons, resulting in inventory backlog. (More than 99% of foreign trade inventory is caused by customers refusing to accept the goods due to poor product quality. This is especially the so-called clothing and textiles that are exported and then sold domestically.)

2. Where does foreign trade get its source of goods?

First, use interpersonal relationships to find sources of goods: If your family or friends own a physical store, or have relationships with certain manufacturers, then don’t worry. By using your own social circle, you can not only save costs but also ensure after-sales service of the products.

Second, look for it on B2B websites: Alibaba gathers all kinds of manufacturers, many of which provide wholesale business, and the products are also equipped with pictures, but many of them require large quantities of goods. If you don’t have enough funds and experience in the early stage, I suggest you buy goods in Alibaba’s small wholesale area. There are still many mixed batches of 200-500. Although the purchase price will be a little higher, don’t pursue too high profits at the beginning. When sales are up, are you still afraid of not finding a better source of goods?

Third, be an online store agent or sales agent: Now many e-commerce websites not only do wholesale, but also provide agency and sales agent services. Online agents are more suitable for online store novices, as they can open a store at no cost. However, when looking for such agents, you must do more comparisons. You can buy one or two pieces first to have a look, because the quality of products provided by many websites is so good that it is hard to compliment. If you become an agent but you don’t know the product, then when the product reaches the customer, they will come to us directly if there is a problem. In the end, it doesn’t matter if you don’t make money, it may also reduce your credibility.

Fourth, look for it directly on Taobao: There are many powerful big sellers on Taobao, some of which provide wholesale or consignment sales. You can find out more about them and see what their customers think of their products. If the quality and supply are relatively stable, it is still okay.

Fifth, go to the local wholesale market: If you have sufficient funds, it is best to go to the wholesale market to check out the goods and purchase them.

Generally speaking, foreign trade stocks are usually genuine products. However, there are also merchants who claim to be foreign trade stocks but sell counterfeit products. This situation also exists.
