Frequently asked questions

Can I buy from 1688.com from India?+
Yes. Chinese-only interface with no English, and it accepts only domestic Chinese payment (Alipay) and ships only within China. iWishBag bridges all of that: We read and negotiate in Mandarin, pay via our China entity, receive at our Guangzhou warehouse, run QC, and forward the goods to you under one all-in bill.
What's the minimum order when sourcing from 1688.com?+
MOQ depends on the supplier and product. As your sourcing agent we negotiate MOQ down and consolidate across several suppliers so your first order stays manageable.
How do I pay?+
Pay iWishBag in INR via UPI, cards, NEFT/RTGS or bank transfer. We handle the Chinese-side payment — you never need a Chinese card or account.
What about customs duty into India?+
India duty depends on the product's HS code — Basic Customs Duty, a 10% Social Welfare Surcharge on the duty, and IGST (commonly 18%) on the duty-inclusive value. We declare honestly and include the full landed cost in your quote.
