Why This Matters for Spanish Businesses Importing from China
If you’re already importing from China—or thinking about it—this news signals a major opportunity. Here’s why:
-
Stronger commercial flows: Supplier networks are more accessible and competitive than ever.
-
Growth of Chinese e-commerce: Platforms like Shein, Temu, and AliExpress are changing consumption habits and logistics across Europe.
-
Production scalability: China’s vast manufacturing capacity offers endless product options at speed and scale.
-
Lower structural costs: As trade intensifies, transport and storage costs can become more efficient.
But With Greater Volume Comes Greater Risk
At Sinergia Trading, we see cases every week of companies who:
-
Work with unverified suppliers.
-
Miss key regulatory details.
-
Receive poor-quality goods or late shipments.
-
Face unexpected costs due to lack of planning.
This market shift requires strategy, not improvisation.
