Sidenote: I couldn't find this by reverse image searching, but if you search the same description you can find it on AliExpress for ~30% less. If I had access to Taobao, it's probably less again there.

I buy a lot of stuff from AliExpress - I'd love to be able to go one up the chain and find the factories that are building this stuff.

The factories will want to sell you pallets of the stuff.

What you want is the export agent, he will likely send a sample if you can produce a valid company profile

You will even pay reduced taxes for a sample, but make sure they have already a business relationship in your general area because they will have already done the legwork to certify the product and it'll clear custom straight away

So what does the average Amazon seller need to do to get set up? I'm assuming they're not paying the Alibaba price.
