story and how difficult it set to set business in China.

***I got my start in china in the 70's, and have biz partners in Hong Kong...
it may be helpful to not think in terms of "trade with China" and think in
terms of "my partner is in China." Relationship is everything, and really,
"China" has nothing to do with why you are trading. It it at best a nice
backdrop
to the task at hand. Not to say that is not plenty.
Everything regarding "China" is your partners problem, since you will buy
goods FOB at least; everything USA is your problem for the same reason. This is
how it should be. Whatever problems there may be are divided along those
lines for all practical purposes... if your partner is good, you won't be aware
of
too many problems.***

I have a

friend who has a tea farm in China but would like to distribute and

sale in US.

***Is tea your thing?***

What would be involve and how difficult to ship product

directortly to customer if product was purchase online.>>

***What would be involved would be your job to learn... and shipping directly
to customer would be no problem at all, assuming there are enough customers,
if any, who would like to do business this way. What do the customers you
have spoken to say?***
