Most profitable items to export to UK for resale?

[pinkiescot]

Hi,

I've just found this forum as I am visiting Bali from Scotland, for the first time next week, and considering shipping a container load of furniture back to UK for resale.

As I have been sourcing suppliers online, and plan to fly to Java whilst over there, it struck me that I should ask the question......are there any other products that show good profit in the UK market.

Thanks for any pointers on this.

Welkome to the forum pinkiescot...from another Scot but not sure I'm a Pinkie.
Furniture is made in Bali and the best will be the intrically carved wood. Better furniture, and probaly cheaper, and in a variety of shapes etc. will come from Jepara in East Java.
Bata shoes sell all types and are modern and well made for the fashion market and a deal with managemeent on a consignment will privide discount. A favorit export is the plastic rattan couches and chairs...with fluff back cushions. Can be used outside or inside. Balinese unique shell and semi-precious necklaces are also popular and can easily be returned if not sold....or simply gifted.

Hi Davita,

Thanks so much for that. Actually all the things I have been looking at, so good to have confirmation on that.

Can anyone recommend a sourcer for products in Jepara? I have the names of a couple of factories I would like to visit, but really want to work with someone who can take care of my order for me and ensure quality/shipment.

Thanks.

Before considering exporting anything you must know your customer base.  What will they want and how much will they pay for it.  What age group are you targeting.  Are they home owners or renters.  There is so much to know before you invest in the wrong items, only to find they have become your own personal possessions for the remainder of your life.  I exported from Asia for over 40 years, some items very successful some not.  Without a very clear vision of your customer you will increase the chances of losing lots of money foolishly.

How about real Indonesian coffee, especially the one made from poop?
In the past, I've seen Javanese coffee selling on ebay for crazy prices, WITH people actually bidding on it too!

I've never tasted this kind of coffee! I can’t force myself, although it seems to be very tasty. How to cook it at all? Do I need a special coffee maker or this will be fine? Or I need special equipment?
