product with parts from 2 countries

I'm contemplating of using a higher quality part of a product from
Europe. What is the most cost effective way to approach this? For
example, I'd like to produce a candle holder with an expensive candle.
Holders made in China, candles made in France. Should I:
1) Ship the parts to US and have it packaged here.
2) Ship candles to China and have them put the product together? In
this scenario, would my trading company in HK purchase the candles and
then have me reimburse later? What are other options? Please advise.
Thank you very much for your time.
