How the saving is built

Where the 30–50% actually comes from.

Direct factory pricing vs trading-house markup

Most AU importers buy from Chinese trading houses, not factories. Trading houses typically add 15–25% on top of factory price. Sun Top buys from the factory directly and removes this layer.

AU wholesale & distributor layers removed

Goods sold through AU wholesalers and distributors carry another 15–30% markup each. Sun Top ships direct from the factory in China to your AU door, so neither wholesale nor distributor margin is loaded on top of your price.

Consolidated freight on Sun Top's account

Sun Top books freight under its own account, often consolidating multiple buyer orders into one container. This lowers freight cost per cubic metre versus a one-off LCL booking through an AU freight forwarder.

ChAFTA (China–Australia Free Trade Agreement)

Many product categories from China enter Australia duty-free under ChAFTA when accompanied by a valid Certificate of Origin. Sun Top requests CoO from every factory and passes the duty saving on to you in the landed cost.
