Where back-to-school, beauty, and sports retail buyers come to source. Five floors plus a link building — here is what each section holds.
District 3 opened in September 2005. It runs a five-floor main building plus a connected link building — making it the most structurally complex section of Yiwu Market. The categories cover four distinct buyer segments: back-to-school and stationery, sports and outdoor goods, beauty and cosmetics, and garment trim accessories. It is one of the few places on Earth where a fashion buyer and a sporting goods importer can source from the same building on the same day.

Cosmetics sold in the EU fall under Regulation EC 1223/2009. Confirm your supplier can provide a full ingredient list (INCI) and safety assessment. A Responsible Person (RP) in the EU is also required before you can sell legally.
Sunglasses entering the EU must carry CE marking confirming UV400 protection. Ask for the EN ISO 12312-1 test report — not just a CE sticker on the frame. Without this document, customs authorities can detain your shipment.
District 3’s garment accessories floor (zippers, buttons, lace) pairs naturally with a visit to Huangyuan Clothing Market. Many buyers source both in the same 2-day trip and coordinate samples from both markets simultaneously.
We verify factory credentials, review compliance documentation, and inspect every order before shipment. Photo reports provided. Our team has sourced from District 3 since 2004.
