Track record
From 0 China Awareness to No.1 in Its Category
Lubelski Cider entered China with almost no category awareness, no established purchase habit, and no ready-made channel language for Polish cider. The product was strong. The hard part was building the China-side pricing, sales language, market proof, and channel system that made buyers, distributors, retailers, and consumers know how to understand it, price it, explain it, and sell it.

- Created commercial traction in a new premium cider niche, not just a one-off shipment.

Submit Product InfoHow it works
From Product Discovery to China Launch
Share the product first. We judge whether China is worth entering, prepare the offer for real buyers and channels, then run the China-side work needed to launch and keep sales moving.
Share your product, category, current markets, pricing, production situation, and China ambition. This gives us enough context to judge whether the opportunity deserves a serious China entry conversation.
We assess product fit, compliance, pricing, channel margin structure, buyer readiness, launch budget, and market-entry risks, then give a clear recommendation on whether China is worth entering and what path makes commercial sense.
Prepare the practical launch work: registration path, buyer-ready product pitch, sales materials, channel margin structure, packaging appeal, channel plan, and launch timeline.
Operate the local work behind live China sales: channel follow-up, e-commerce and social commerce coordination, warehousing and bonded warehouse options, fulfillment, customer service, reporting, and market feedback for repeat purchase and product iteration.
Optional: 01 to 02
Channel Workshop
Hear current, first-hand buyer-side or channel-side judgment on how your product would be evaluated, what entry would cost, and how it could move inside major China channels.
Commercial structure is discussed after product fit, channel path, and launch investment are clear.
Before you choose a partner
Choose Your First China Partner Carefully
Your first China effort can shape the next 10 years of pricing, channel structure, buyer perception, and room for future growth. Choose the wrong model, and the product may be listed without being sold, discounted before margins are built, or locked into one channel while the broader market stays out of reach.
01
Single-Channel Lock-in
An early platform or importer deal can lock pricing around one channel and make broader distribution commercially impossible.
Check before launch → 02Broken Pricing & Margin
China pricing must leave room for import costs, platform fees, channel margins, brand investment, and future distributors.
Check before launch → 03Shelf Without Conversion
Getting listed is not the same as getting chosen. Buyers, salespeople, and consumers need a reason to believe the product deserves its price.
Check before launch → 04Regulatory & Readiness Gaps
Trademark, labeling, claims, lab tests, packaging, and import planning should be checked before they block sales or create legal risk.
Check before launch →Why choose us

Choosing a China partner
Compare China Entry Options

Questions before contact
Common China Entry Questions
How much does China entry cost?
It depends on the result you want to buy: cross-border testing, major channel access, platform operations, offline distribution, bonded warehouse, or general trade. We price the path, cost, and conditions before serious China spending begins.
Should we start with cross-border e-commerce or general trade?
Cross-border e-commerce and bonded warehouse models can reduce the first commitment for some categories. General trade may be needed for broader offline distribution and long-term scale.
Can you help us enter Sam's Club, Hema, Tmall, JD, or other major channels?
Yes. We can help you price what that result would take across membership retail, new retail grocery, regional retail leaders, platform commerce, and national buyers: buyer access, fees, trade terms, inventory, channel margin, promotion pressure, operating resources, and whether it is worth buying now.
Can you act as our China general distributor or operating partner?
Yes. The model depends on product fit, ambition, investment level, and the channel path we agree to build. We discuss the commercial structure after the entry cost and operating requirements are clear.
Do we need a Chinese company before entering?
Not always. Some brands can test through cross-border e-commerce or bonded warehouse models first. Broader offline distribution, invoicing, and general trade may require a more formal China structure.
How fast can we start selling?
Speed depends on compliance, product readiness, channel target, inventory model, and whether sales materials already explain the product for Chinese buyers. Fast entry is possible; wrong entry is expensive.
Can you help if we are already in China?
Yes. If pricing, channels, positioning, or conversion are already broken, the first step is diagnosis before any new expansion.
Do you only work with consumer brands?
No. We started with a beverage case, but the same China entry logic can also apply to ingredients, upstream products, and selected B2B or industrial categories.
