Buyer Tips
The Leqing Pavilion on Floor 4 brings manufacturers directly from Leqing — China’s low-voltage electrical manufacturing hub. The same products sold at stalls on Floor 3 are typically available here for 15–25% less because you are cutting out intermediary trading companies.
District 2 suppliers are more accommodating of mixed FCL container orders than most other markets. You can combine tools, padlocks, small appliances, and bags in a single full container load — ask your freight forwarder about packing list requirements for combined shipments.
For electrical products entering the EU or US: confirm your supplier holds current CE or FCC certificates — not just that they “can get” them. Ask for the actual test report with the certificate, and verify the report date. Certificates older than 3 years for modified products may not be valid.
