China has maintained its position as Brazil's main trading partner since 2009, being the largest exporter and importer for the country. In 2023, Brazil imported more than US$ 53 billion in Chinese products, representing about 22,1% of all imports made in the national territory. Data provided by the Ministry of Development, Industry, Commerce and Services (MDIC) and the Secretariat of Foreign Trade (Secex) reinforce this trend. But, after all, what are the most promising products to import from China and resell in Brazil
Rogério Marin, foreign trade specialist, director of the company Tek Trade and president of the Union of Foreign Trade Companies of SC, highlights that there is a growing demand for computer products, drones, technologies, toys and pet supplies. However, he warns that this can be a profitable opportunity only if the entrepreneur has a deep understanding of the sector in which they are investing
Technology and Information Technology
China is a global leader in the production of technology and electronics, consolidating these items as some of the most promising for import in 2024. Products such as computer accessories, drones and virtual reality devices are among the most sought after. The constant innovation and improvement in the quality of Chinese electronics, allied to competitive prices, provide an attractive profit margin for importers
Toys and Games
The toy and game market also presents lucrative opportunities. China is a major producer of these items, ranging from innovative and educational toys to board games and remote-controlled toys. When importing these products, it is essential to strictly comply with safety standards and regulations. A Tek Trade, for example, operates in accordance with the guidelines of the National Institute of Metrology (Inmetro)
Pet Supplies
The pet market has shown steady growth over the years, with an expansion of about 316% in the last six years, according to the Pet Brazil Institute (IPB). With the growing demand, the sale of pet products represents an excellent opportunity, whether in wholesale or retail. In this context, importation can become a great ally to boost the business
"Importing from China is an excellent alternative to meet the demand for products that are not produced on a large scale in Brazil or to bring innovations that are not yet available in the national market". However, it is important to emphasize that this will never replace the national product. The import item can become a great business, as long as the entrepreneur has a deep knowledge of the segment. It is not possible to generate profitability in something you do not master. Furthermore, it is essential to have the support of a company specialized in foreign trade, that will take care of the entire process efficiently and safely, highlights Rogério Marin
