Importer for Goods from China
WP International Trade GmbH in Dresden is a registered importer in Germany. On request, we buy your goods in China in our own name and sell them to you on a German invoice. The responsibility as importer and economic operator then lies with us, and you receive goods that are cleared through customs, registered and ready for the market.
