Planning to visit China? Make it a buying trip

Turn a trip to China into a focused sourcing trip: the markets that sell what you sell, suppliers worth meeting, factories worth the drive — and what you buy shipped home. BlueWave helps organise the business side.

01What a visit covers

A trip with a purpose

The markets are vast and the days are short. Tell us what you are buying and we help you spend the trip where the goods are.
  • 01

    Explore markets

    Which halls sell what you sell, how long each takes, and which to see first.

  • 02

    Meet suppliers

    Sit down with sellers, compare quality and prices face to face, and agree terms.

  • 03

    Visit factories

    See where it is made, for larger orders or your own specification.

  • 04

    Find products

    Know only what you want to sell? We point you to where it is made and sold.

What we help with: which markets, suppliers and factories to see and in what order, and getting what you buy to our Foshan warehouse and home to Dar es Salaam. Hotel and local transport you can ask about in the form — the team will tell you what can be arranged.

02How it works

From request to goods on the water

A visit is a request until the team confirms it. Here is everything that happens between your message and your cartons sailing.
  1. 01 · You

    Request

    Your dates, the cities and markets, and what you want to buy.

  2. 02 · Us

    We call you

    Somebody from the team calls or WhatsApps you to talk the trip through.

  3. 03 · Us

    Plan confirmed

    The team writes down what has been arranged. Only then does your status page say Confirmed.

  4. 04 · You

    Visit

    Walk the markets, meet suppliers, see factories — with the plan in hand.

  5. 05 · You

    Buy

    Choose, agree and pay your suppliers. Keep their names and numbers.

  6. 06 · Us

    We collect and ship

    We collect from your suppliers or receive at our Foshan warehouse, and ship to Dar es Salaam.

    China pickup

03Where you can go

Cities in our guide

Each city page lists its markets and what they sell. Add a city to your visit and it is ticked on the form below.

Request · Business visit

Foshan → Dar es Salaam

Visit request

Fill in what you know — a rough idea is enough. The team calls you before anything is arranged.

01Who is travelling

With the country code if outside Tanzania.

If it is a different number.

02When

Roughly is fine. Market halls keep their own holidays, and the team will tell you if your dates fall on one.

03Where you want to go

Pick what you know. If you only know what you want to buy, pick the product below and leave the rest to us.

Factories

Factory listings are being added. Want to see a factory? Say what it makes in the notes below and the team will look for one.

04What you want to buy
05Help on the ground

Tell us what you would like help with, and the team will say what can be arranged when they call. Ticking a box is a request, not a reservation.

Products you are after, budgets, a supplier you already know, a factory you want to see.

This sends a request. Nothing is booked, and nobody is charged, until the team has spoken to you and the status page says Confirmed.
