Why Source From China?
China offers unparalleled advantages that make it the world's manufacturing powerhouse, and the reason so many Chinese manufactured goods importers and suppliers build their supply chains here.
The World's Most Mature Supply Chain
From raw materials to final assembly, every stage of production can be handled locally in China, minimizing delays and dependencies. You get faster turnaround times and fewer supply-chain risks thanks to a fully integrated ecosystem.
Unmatched Supplier Density
Thousands of vetted factories across nearly every industry compete for your business, driving innovation and competitive pricing. You can find the right partner for niche or mass-market products without compromising on quality or cost.
Faster Tooling & Advanced Production
China's investment in machinery and skilled labor enables rapid tooling for injection molds, CNC, and assembly lines. Your seasonal launches and prototyping cycles move faster, giving you a crucial competitive edge.
Cost-Effective Scalability
Factories scale efficiently from small MOQs to millions of units, maintaining quality and predictable costs. Whether you're a startup testing new products or a retailer expanding globally, you can scale production without added risk.
Industries Where China Sets the Global Standard
Whether it's rapid tooling of complex injection molds, precision CNC machining, high-volume electronics assembly in Shenzhen, or advanced textile production, China offers the infrastructure and supplier density to deliver at scale and speed. Competing regions have carved out niches, but for sophisticated processes, high-volume runs, and consistent quality, China remains the benchmark.
Plastics & Injection Molding

Current Tariffs On Chinese Imports
Section 301 has no rate cap and no expiration, don't assume today's rates are permanent. Most recent update: April 27, 2026.
New 50% Tariffs On Steel, Aluminum & Copper
Effective April 6, 2026, restructured Section 232 rates reach 50% on metal-intensive goods from China including steel coils, aluminum sheet, and copper products. Derivative articles face 25%; products under 15% metal content are exempt.
How Importivity helps: We audit your product classifications, identify exemption opportunities, and renegotiate supplier terms to mitigate impact.
Refund Eligibility (CAPE Portal Open)
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in February 2026 that IEEPA tariffs exceeded presidential authority. Chinese importers who paid are eligible for refunds; CBP's CAPE portal opened April 20, 2026, with refunds expected within 60-90 days.
How Importivity helps: We help Chinese importers determine IEEPA exposure, prepare refund documentation, and navigate the CAPE portal filing process.
Excess-Capacity Investigation
USTR launched a Section 301 investigation targeting China's structural manufacturing overcapacity. Public comments closed April 15, 2026; hearings are scheduled for May 2026, with new tariffs possible by late July 2026.
How Importivity helps: We model your exposure, help you engage the public-comment process, and build contingency sourcing plans before new duties land.
10% Surcharge Expires July 24
The flat 10% global surcharge on Chinese imports expires July 24, 2026 unless Congress extends it. The U.S. average effective tariff rate stands at 11.0%, the highest since 1943, so a lapse could shift rates significantly.
How Importivity helps: We track the full duty stack by SKU and model your landed costs under both expiration and extension scenarios.
