This is a site with world-wide members, who are interested in Land Rover vehicles. As you might imagine, Rovers are some of the most modified vehicles in the world, and many owners go to considerable expense in time and treasure to keep them running. But as far as a universal need for a stainless item for a specific purpose, I'm not sure I can think of one that you could sell 10,000 of tomorrow. Most of our members are in North America, and shipping costs and delays are an issue.

One item that might appeal would be a replacement front grille, in what is called the "Saudi-style", which increases air flow. You'll see do it yourself examples in our tech area. Or something like skid plates or roof racks.

Now for the grim side of things. Being China based, you and a growing number of other manufactuers with good quality standards are painted with the same brush as others where quality is not job number 1. It is a steep road to climb. Japan did it, so it can be done, over time. You also have delivery issues, as a small shipment for you would either go air freight (quite costly) or be in a 20 foot C container on a boat for weeks (cash flow for someone is stretched).

There are members who post things of interest that are of commercial value. But I suspect that the interest to the broad user group must be there, or the site admin will block you.

Being very near the port of Savannah, which handles around 2.5 million containers a year, and will be deepened to handle the new Panamax ships, we hope goods keep flowing. I did see your post about a rear trim plate for a Defender (not too many in the US), and that is also another sort of item, many owners like to make their truck look different than the next, even if they only off road once every six months. We are attracted to things with the "oval" logo in any form, and the word "camel" has special meaning in the Rover community.

You might also consider the various on-line parts sellers mentioned on our site. They stock parts, have their own web sites, and might be a distribution channel you would consider. Places like British Pacific, BP Utah, Atlantic British, Rovers North, and many more.

Export from China to the US isn't an issue at all. Literally, the law does not contain any statues that prohibits imports from China (some exceptions). Logistically, the highway though air and ocean are constantly in motion.....every minute of the day.

Are your product(s) applicable to any other government requirements, like Department of Transportation (DOT) and possibly Environmental Protection Agency, (EPA)...etc....?

In recent working with a well known company that moved manufacturing to China, invested millions to save on costs, came back to the US. Years of Quality Control (QA) issues was horrendous....soo many issues. With their name on the line and possibly their reputation, the right choice was to come back. And they did.....the issue now is keeping the employees...go figure.

Story being said, test...test....test....certify....before you introduce your product to the US. Since you are a foreign company, liability is in your favor. If you want to become that reputable Chinese company, partner up with a US distributor that can support your product domestically. Reputation and quality is key and essential in the auto market....especially if that product can cause harm to the end user.

Hint.....If you are looking into the specialty market, look towards fabricating/machining aluminum parts (billet..etc..). but, it better be good...

Re: Savannah
I understand , I will find time to contact them when our site's products have enough quantity .
Re: Wheelgarage
I see ,yes , QA / QC is a headache for many factory , they always want to earn more ...
We are not in line with them , we take care more in quality , we have 10 years old carbon fiber factory get many stable orders to prove that , at present our stainless steel factory is very new , we need time to prove our quality ,, Yes , we welcome some fabricating / machining aluminum parts , we can make those too . Just not sure where to get these order oversea yet .

For landrover , we can make these two now : factory produce stainless steel car parts,metal car parts [suspart]

But we don't have mold yet , we can get the sample else where I mean .
