Slimming products from China: what to know before importing
Slimming products are in high demand and also among the riskiest. We write this guide frankly, because a mistake here can harm people's health and expose the importer to liability, not just financial loss.
Why is this sensitive?
International regulators have repeatedly warned about slimming capsules, teas and coffees containing undeclared drug substances, some withdrawn from markets for heart risks. Such products may be seized at the border and expose sellers to legal liability.
How we handle it
- We do not buy products with undeclared ingredients or unproven medical claims.
- We do not handle medicines or prescription products.
- We require a full ingredient list and an accredited lab report showing no banned substances.
- We confirm before ordering that the product is allowed in your country under the right classification.
What can be imported more safely?
Healthy-lifestyle products that are not medicines: home fitness equipment, smart scales, healthy cooking tools, sports bottles, and packaging for supplement makers licensed in your country. Supplements themselves usually need prior registration with your country's regulator.
Before you decide
Ask your regulator or a customs broker about the product's classification and registration. If it is allowed and registered, we help with the factory, documents and lab tests.
