Try doing some searchs on www.hkenterprise.com and www.globalsources.com

Be aware, Chinese business practices may be very different from those that you are accustomed to.

Additionally, minimums apply ($3000 US for most things) and quoted costs are typically FOB factory with shipping, duties and taxes your responsibility.

Thanks for your info and noted.

We are actually a growing trading company that import and export anything. Right now we have somebody who wants to buy skate but does not knwo where to get it. And yes, we are looking for FOB pricing..we will pay for the shipping cost.

If you are a US citizen or your business is formed under the laws of a US state, a good place to start would be the US Embassy in China; they have a commercial service department that is designed to help US companies do business in China. The main website is http://www.usembassy-china.org.cn/ Take a look under "Trade & Commerce" and "Foreign Commerical Service". The US Commercial Services Dept for China has a website at http://www.buyusa.gov/china/en

Another good starting place would be the American Chamber of Commerce in China (they have three chapters), take a look at http://www.amcham-china.org.cn.

Finally, you might take a look at the embassy of China in the US at www.china-embassy.org.

If you or your company are a national of another country, try contacting your county's embassy in the PRC.

Not sure if you're looking for ice skates, roller skates, inline, hockey or dance... but for figure skates I'd suggest contacting some of the top companies - HK, Riedell, etc. directly. I'd do the same for Wilson or MK blades. They might actually have the info on their web site.
