Explore the categories01 · INTERNATIONAL TRADE CITY
A practical place to compare products.
International Trade City brings many product-focused trading areas together. A booth may be a manufacturer’s outlet, a trader or a showroom; visiting a booth does not by itself verify a factory.
Use a clear specification and supplier appointment list to focus the visit. The wider market network also includes separate clothing and specialized production-materials markets.

The Global Digital Trade Center is a named market complex. “Sixth-generation market” describes development, not a commodity category count.
03 · MARKET SCALE & SCOPE
Different figures can describe different markets.
A single district’s building floor area, a market’s operating area and the broader market network are different measures. Historical directories also predate newer developments.
We therefore describe named areas rather than presenting an unmatched current area, booth count or fixed commodity-category total. Our twelve website categories organize browsing; they are not an official classification of the Yiwu market.

04 · EXPORT PRODUCTS & TRADE CONTEXT
Small commodities.
An international trading city.
Product families include toys, jewelry, household goods, stationery, textiles, tools and electrical products. The market area guide helps identify a starting point; it does not establish that a particular product is available or export compliant.

Make each day count.
Yiwu Airport
A local air gateway. Confirm available routes, entry requirements and baggage conditions for your travel dates with the airline.

06 · CITY & INTERNATIONAL TRADE
A city organized around trade.
Market visits connect with a wider business environment: trading offices, digital commerce and services that support cross-border activity. The Global Digital Trade Center opened on 14 October 2025, adding a newer market complex to the city’s network.
Language, documentation, payment conditions and destination requirements still need attention. An international environment does not remove the need to verify each supplier and order.

07 · LOGISTICS & EXPORT COORDINATION
The purchase is only one part of the journey.
Compare courier, consolidation and freight proposals against the goods, volume and destination. Ask who handles export documentation, insurance, customs clearance and delivery exceptions.
We can coordinate appropriate providers within the agreed scope. Regulated customs and specialist services stay with qualified providers. Restricted goods, batteries and destination compliance can change the available options and total cost.
Keep supplier price, freight, duties, testing and our service fee visible as separate cost items.

08 · SMALL TRIAL ORDERS
Start with a question.
Then a sample.
CHECK THE PRODUCTMaterial. Size. Finish.
A concentrated market can make collecting and comparing samples practical. Check the agreed criteria before considering a larger order.
CHECK THE CONDITIONSMOQ. Packaging. Total cost.
Some suppliers may accept stock samples or smaller trial quantities. This depends on the product and supplier; custom manufacturing often has different minimums.
Small trial orders are welcome as a service request. We do not guarantee a lower MOQ, availability or savings. A sample does not certify every production unit.
