- The types of goods does your company intend to sell to China?
- What sales channels does your company expect to use to develop sales in China?
- Where in China does your company want to target its goods?
Below I will answer some basic questions that many companies ask, and hopefully, you might be interested enough to contact me for a follow-up conversation by the end.

Where can UK exporters sell in china?
It all depends on the products you are looking to sell to China and the channels you are looking to use to develop sales in China.
The east of China is the wealthiest part, yet the south of China has been exposed to more foreign products for a lot longer than the North of China.
A great example of this is Whisky. It is trendy in South China and Shanghai, whereas North China’s market has not yet developed.
Another example is Oysters. All eastern cities can be China consumers; however, the market is in early-stage development in inland China. Incidentally, South China Cities prefer large-sized oysters, whereas Northern Cities like smaller sizes.
