Hey Indie Hackers! 👋
I run a small LED lighting factory in China, and over the years we’ve helped importers test and source products like LED string lights, LED strips, and AR111 bulbs.
One thing we’ve learned: CE-certified products can save a lot of time at customs. We even offer free samples for buyers to test quality before ordering in bulk.

Would love to hear:
How do you source products internationally for your small business?
Any tips for avoiding shipping or customs headaches?
Let’s swap insights! 🚀
hey man, sounds like your looking for more importers. Instead of waiting for them to find you, you could go direct.
Build a list of e-com stores or construction firms in the US/EU. A simple email offering those free samples works wonders. We did this for a hardware manufacturer and they got 3-4 meetings a week from it.
Happy to share our playbook if you want :)
