Importing from China
on your own risks your cash flow.
65% of first-time importers lose between €5,000 and €25,000 on their first order. Not because they’re incompetent. Because no one explained what they couldn’t see.
You are paying an intermediary without knowing it.
On Alibaba, 80% of "manufacturers" are actually traders. You think you're buying directly from the source — but you're unknowingly paying an extra layer of markup.
The actual costs are a systematic surprise
Supplier price, sea freight, customs duties, local import tax, local VAT… In Réunion, the total can add up to 45% to the purchase price. You don't calculate it beforehand; you only find out afterward.
The perfect sample guarantees nothing
The supplier sends a perfect, handmade sample. The order of 500 pieces comes from a different production line. Without on-site quality control before shipment, you discover the problem upon receipt—too late.
Deadlines are slipping, you're waiting in the dark
Chinese New Year, production delays, a congested port, customs issues. Without someone on the ground, you wait weeks without information. Your stock dwindles, your customers grow impatient.
Negotiating in broken English is expensive.
Chinese suppliers confirm everything out of politeness—even when they haven't understood. One misunderstanding about the specifications, and you receive something other than what you ordered.
Reunion's tax system is an invisible trap
The overseas tax can represent up to 30% of the value of your goods, depending on the product. An agency that doesn't include it in the initial quote will give you an incorrect figure. And you'll end up paying the difference.

Quality control & delivery to Reunion Island
Physical inspection before shipment. If a problem is detected, it is resolved at the factory. Then, the freight is coordinated to your door – customs and port duties already taken care of.
- Real example
What this means in concrete terms for a shop in Réunion.
The numbers speak louder than words. Here’s what RunSupply changed for a retailer in Saint-Denis.
A boutique wants to source its own logo canvas bags
The manager had been buying his bags from a metropolitan wholesaler for three years. Margins were decent, but he felt he was paying too much. He requested a RunSupply audit—without committing to anything.
The audit revealed that his wholesaler was taking a 64% margin on the factory price. With direct imports, even including the sea freight tax and island freight charges, he could have gained an additional 22 percentage points in margin.
He placed his first order of 500 custom pieces with his logo. Total lead time: 11 weeks. Quality matches samples — on-site quality control performed before shipment.

- Dedicated account manager
- Preferential rates based on annual volume
- Recurring order management
- Monthly reporting and continuous optimization
- Priority processing on all missions
Complete transparency in the payment process: supplier payment is made directly between you and the manufacturer. RunSupply never touches your order. You have total control over your purchases — it’s contractually guaranteed.
- Why RunSupply
Not a wholesaler. Not a freight forwarder. A partner who understands your business.
Most sourcing agencies are based in mainland France and are unaware of Réunion’s tax laws. RunSupply is located on the island. When we calculate your costs, the overseas tax is already included.
What mainland agencies consistently miss: the Réunion import tax can represent up to 30% of the value of your goods. An agency that doesn’t factor this into the initial quote will give you an inaccurate figure. At RunSupply, it’s calculated during the audit—before you spend a single penny.
On-the-ground presence — not remote sourcing
Our team visits the factories in person. They see the production conditions, test the materials, and negotiate face-to-face. No copy-pasting from Alibaba.

What those
who have taken the plunge are saying.
“I placed my first order on my own through Alibaba. I received 300 non-compliant parts, impossible to resell. With RunSupply, the second order was perfect — quality control done before shipping. I should have started like that.”

“The free audit opened my eyes. They calculated the overseas tax that I had completely forgotten in my business plan. Without that, I would have launched an unprofitable product line. I probably owe them €15,000 in savings based on that single finding.”
