How to Find Products for Your Import Business.
Through MVXchange.com, we were able to find out a variety of useful tips to getting products to import -
1. Attend Trade Shows:
Trade shows are a good way to meet manufacturers, distributors, and representatives. Like church-sponsored singles dances, everybody there is in attendance for the purpose of attracting somebody else. So get out there and mingle!.
Also Foreign trade shows are set up by the government to showcase their own manufacturers. You’ll have to travel to attend some and while others come to you.

2. Contact foreign embassies' trade development offices:
Call the embassy or consulate of the country you're interested in to find out when and if they have trade shows scheduled and where, also while making those calls to consulates and embassies, ask for their trade development office. In many countries and geographical regions they sponsor offices where you can get information on manufacturers of everything and a single call is all you need to get a long list of suppiers eager to do business with you.

3. Contact the U.S. Department of Commerce's International Trade Administration: The U.S. government's International Trade Administration can also help you locate various trade groups and development agencies that will help you find specific kinds of manufacturers or suppliers.

4. Travel abroad on an import search mission: Traveling abroad is, in most people's minds, the most delightful of all these options. It's not always practical in terms of time, money or other commitments you may have, such as your day job or family, but it's not a must, either, so don't be scared if you can't manage it, it happens to most people.. If you're interested in general merchandise, traveling in search of goods can be the best way to garner immediate results. As in domestic exporting, there are many manufacturers out there who've never considered selling their products in the United States, even though the market may be extremely profitable. And the most effective way to find these companies is through field research.Also Don't limit yourself by looking only at what products you want to import. Consider also what kinds of strategies you'll use to make your profits. Then you can decide to go for a low-price/high-volume route, you'll want to focus on countries that are low-cost-goods producers, like China, India, and Mexico.
