Rakumart.it is officially launched: connecting the Chinese supply chain with the Italian market to create a more efficient cross-border procurement experience. As Italian companies and cross-border sellers continue to increase their demand for Chinese supply chains, how to complete product selection, procurement, quality inspection, logistics and compliant delivery more efficiently has become an important issue that many companies need to solve when expanding their business. In order to further serve the Italian market, Rakumart.it is officially launched. As a localized service platform created by Rakumart for Italian customers, the website connects Chinese supply chain resources with Italian local teams, warehousing and logistics services, providing Italian companies, Amazon sellers, independent merchants and distributors with a clearer and more convenient one-stop cross-border procurement solution.

Rakumart.it joins hands with European Testing Center to provide CE, REACH and other compliance support for the European market
Rakumart.it joins hands with the European Testing Center to provide CE, REACH and other compliance support for the European market. As Chinese products enter the European market, product compliance has become an important link that cannot be ignored in the process of cross-border procurement, Amazon sales and brand overseas. Different products may involve CE, REACH, RoHS, food contact materials, toy safety and other regulations and testing requirements. The lack of necessary compliance information may not only affect the listing and sales of products, but may also face risks in customs clearance, platform review or market supervision. In order to help customers complete European market compliance preparations more efficiently, Rakumart.it has cooperated with the European Testing Center to provide customers with CE, REACH and other related testing and compliance document support, assist companies in identifying compliance requirements from the product procurement stage, and reduce communication and operational costs when entering the European market. Planning compliance requirements starts with product procurement. Many companies only start preparing certification and testing materials after product procurement is completed. Problems such as products that do not meet standards, missing data, or repeated testing are prone to occur. Rakumart.it pre-positions compliance support in the product selection and procurement process, and assists customers in making preliminary judgments about the regulations and testing requirements that may be involved based on product categories, sales countries, usage scenarios, and target platforms. Customers can learn the following information before purchasing: whether the product may require CE compliance; whether it involves REACH, RoHS and other chemical substance-related requirements; whether electrical safety, electromagnetic compatibility or wireless product testing is required; whether toys and children’s products involve special safety requirements; whether food contact products require relevant material testing; and the compliance documents required for products to enter Amazon Europe or other sales channels. By confirming the compliance path in advance, Customers can reduce subsequent adjustments when selecting suppliers and products and avoid incurring additional costs when product design, materials or labeling do not meet requirements. CE compliance support helps products meet EU market requirements. CE is not a single test certificate applicable to all goods. Instead, after the product meets the requirements of applicable EU regulations, the manufacturer or responsible entity shall make a declaration of conformity and affix the CE mark in accordance with the law. Depending on the product category, companies may need to prepare technical documents, risk assessments, test reports, compliance statements, product labels and other materials. Rakumart.it cooperates with the European Testing Center to assist customers in connecting with relevant testing and compliance services based on the actual product conditions, and supports compliance assessment of electrical products, mechanical equipment, toys, personal protective equipment and other products that are subject to CE requirements. Relevant services may include: preliminary judgment on applicable product regulations and standards; sample testing and testing program planning; electrical safety, electromagnetic compatibility and other related tests; support for technical documents and test reports; guidance on preparing EU declarations of conformity; inspection of product labels, instructions and packaging information; judging whether the participation of a notified body is required based on product category. Specific testing items and document requirements will be confirmed based on product type, technical parameters, sales country and applicable regulations. REACH compliance support, paying attention to the requirements for chemical substances in products REACH is the European Union’s regulations on the registration, evaluation, authorization and restriction of chemicals, which applies to related chemical substances involved in the production, import and sales process. Clothing, footwear, bags, plastic products, furniture, accessories, electronic products and daily necessities, etc., may all involve REACH-related requirements. Rakumart.it can assist customers in determining whether relevant substance testing or supply chain compliance information is required based on product materials and components. Continental Testing Center can provide sample testing and reporting support based on the actual situation of the product to help customers understand whether the product involves SVHC substances of high concern and other restricted substance requirements. For cross-border sellers, REACH compliance information may also be used for: Amazon European station compliance audit; European importer or distributor information filing; supply chain audit of customers or buyers; product export and market sales data preparation; brand owner’s quality and compliance management of suppliers. It should be noted that REACH requirements will change according to product materials, uses and regulatory updates. The final testing items and report forms should be judged by professional testing agencies based on the actual products. More than just CE and REACH, covering more European market compliance needs. In addition to CE and REACH, Rakumart.it can also assist in connecting with more related testing and compliance services based on the customer’s product type, such as: RoHS: Applicable to hazardous substance restriction requirements for some electronic and electrical products; Food contact material testing: Applicable to tableware, kitchenware, drinking cups and other products that may come into contact with food; Toy safety testing: Applicable to children’s toys and related products; Textile and clothing related testing: Involving materials, chemical substances and labeling requirements; electrical safety and EMC testing: applicable to home appliances, electronic products and related equipment; material and chemical substance testing: targeted assessment based on product materials and sales requirements. Rakumart.it will help organize product information based on customers’ purchasing needs, target markets and sales channels, and communicate samples, test items, cycles and document requirements with testing agencies. Connecting Chinese supply chains with European compliance services Rakumart.it’s advantage lies not only in helping customers purchase Chinese goods; It’s also about connecting suppliers, warehousing, logistics and European compliance services. During the product development and procurement stages, Rakumart can assist customers in communicating product specifications, material composition, labeling, packaging and instruction manual requirements with Chinese factories. After the goods enter the warehouse, they can also cooperate to complete random inspection, photography, labeling, packaging and data archiving. For products that require testing, the platform can assist in arranging sample delivery and progress follow-up, reducing customers’ time for repeated communication between Chinese suppliers, testing institutions and European sales channels. Through this cooperation model, customers can discover product compliance issues earlier and complete the necessary document preparation before shipment, reducing the risk of customs clearance delays, platform delisting and returns caused by missing documents, incorrect labeling or product non-compliance. Provide more reliable support for sales in the European market. Whether you are an Amazon European seller, an independent brand owner, an offline distributor, or an enterprise developing its own brand, compliance is an important foundation for long-term operations. The cooperation between Rakumart.it and the European Testing Center aims to provide customers with a clearer compliance path and more convenient testing docking services. Customers only need to provide basic information such as product name, pictures, materials, technical parameters, sales countries and target platforms, and Rakumart.it can assist with preliminary assessment and recommend corresponding testing and documentation solutions based on the actual situation. It should be noted that the scope of application of specific certificates, test reports and compliance documents must be ultimately confirmed based on product category, test results, EU regulations and responsible subject requirements. Rakumart.it will work with professional testing institutions to assist customers in advancing relevant processes, but does not use compliance support to replace the product responsibilities that manufacturers, importers or brands should bear according to law. Conclusion The European market not only values product price and delivery efficiency; There is also increasing focus on product safety, environmental requirements and supply chain transparency. By cooperating with the European Testing Center, Rakumart.it further combines Chinese procurement services with European market compliance support to provide customers with collaborative services from product selection, procurement, quality inspection to test data preparation. Visit Rakumart.it to learn about CE, REACH, RoHS, food contact materials, toy safety and other related testing and compliance support services, so that Chinese products can be more prepared to enter the European market. Rakumart.it – connects China’s supply chain and facilitates compliance operations in the European market. Date: 2026.9.20
Why should you purchase goods from 1688 and import them to Italy?
Why should you purchase goods from 1688 and import them to Italy? When a business or online seller wants to import goods from China to Italy, Alibaba or AliExpress usually come to mind first. However, many more experienced buyers prefer another option: sourcing from Italy in 1688 for better prices and greater access to local suppliers. 1688 is one of the most powerful wholesale procurement platforms in China, especially suitable for finding factory, workshop-type suppliers or suppliers with more competitive prices than platforms facing the international market. IMPORTANT NOTE: This guide is for reference only and is not a substitute for legal, customs clearance or tax advice. Before confirming an international order, it is recommended that you verify the true cost, supplier conditions, logistics arrangements, and import requirements. What is 1688 and why many importers use it 1688 is a B2B platform for the Chinese local market. Unlike other more international websites, many of the suppliers here mainly serve local Chinese buyers, distributors and cooperative factories. Because of this, if you want to increase profit margins through Chinese imports, find new products, or negotiate cooperation directly with Chinese factories, purchasing on 1688 will be very attractive. In practice, many purchasing agents and sourcing consultants will use 1688 because it can help them: Compare more suppliers See quotes that are closer to factory prices Find some products and factory resources that may not be seen on Alibaba Advantages of sourcing from Italy in 1688 1. The price of importing from China is lower One of the biggest advantages of 1688 is the price. Many items are cheaper than Alibaba or AliExpress because this platform mainly serves the Chinese domestic market. If you’re doing Amazon, independent e-commerce, or local distribution, this price difference can help you increase your profit margins. 2. More types of Chinese suppliers 1688 brings together a large number of products covering multiple categories, such as: Household products Clothing fashion Packaging materials Accessories Hardware tools Fitness products Electronic products Seasonal products This makes it easier for you to: Compare different factories Test market segments Find better cooperation conditions without constantly switching platforms. 3. More direct contact with manufacturers. In many cases, 1688 can help you identify real suppliers more clearly and view corporate information, product catalogs and business activity. This is especially helpful if you want to: Customize products Private label Long-term repeat purchases. What to Check Before Importing from China on 1688 Although the advantages are clear, 1688 is not always easy to operate for international buyers. If you lack experience, you may encounter many problems when purchasing on your own. Before placing an order, check at least the following points: Minimum order quantity Actual production lead time Packaging quality Exchange or return policy Supplier experience Whether quality inspection is possible Whether the product is suitable for the Italian market The total cost after adding international shipping A cheap price does not necessarily mean a good buy. In international purchasing, the true cost often comes after you factor in: The product itself Quality control Shipping costs Exception handling Delivery and time costs Common mistakes when purchasing from Italy in 1688 Many guides often don’t go into depth enough. In actual operation, the following are some of the most common “pitfalls” that people step into when importing Chinese goods from 1688: 1. Suppliers are willing to take orders, but do not understand the export requirements. Some suppliers do well in domestic sales in China. But it was not ready to serve international customers. This may affect: Labeling requirements Packaging specifications Documentation Delivery time 2. Return policy is not as simple as it seems In domestic purchases in China, some returns are possible. But in cross-border transactions, returns often become: High cost Long cycle or even not feasible at all 3. The pictures look the same, but the physical details are different This situation is particularly common in the following categories: Textiles Accessories Packaging products Low-priced goods Therefore, it is still very critical to do inspection or get samples first. 4. Goods are delayed during consolidation or pre-transportation. Not all delays occur at customs. Sometimes problems occur in earlier stages, such as: Unqualified packaging Suppliers are too slow Coordination is not in place Abnormalities in the container warehouse 5. The seller responds quickly in the early stage, but the follow-up is unstable. Many times, the initial communication seems to be smooth. But once it enters the following stages, the response speed may drop significantly: Production changes Replenishment communication After-sales or complaint handling Therefore, experienced buyers will not choose suppliers based on price alone. They will also focus on: Stability Communication skills Actual performance capabilities Long-term consistency How to start purchasing in 1688 and import to Italy 1. Search for products by category You can browse 1688’s main product categories to find opportunities suitable for wholesale purchasing. 2. Use the category menu for more precise filtering. Through category navigation, you can find market segments and subcategories more easily, especially when you have not locked in a specific supplier. 3. Check the supplier information. Before purchasing, try to verify the following: Company information Industry experience Business response situation Contact channels 4. Make a small test order first. Do not directly increase the quantity on the first order. It is recommended to pass a small order test first to verify: Product quality Packaging condition Delivery time Supplier stability 5. If you are not familiar with the process, use professional support If you do not speak Chinese, or do not have local execution capabilities in China, a purchasing agent can help you handle: Product selection and finding suppliers Negotiation Payment Inspection Shipping arrangements Under what circumstances is it appropriate to use 1688 Purchasing Agent If this is your first time doing this process, working with a purchasing agent can help you avoid many mistakes. An agent can usually assist you with: Finding reliable Chinese suppliers Negotiating purchasing terms Verifying product details Inspecting samples Paying local Chinese suppliers Consolidating goods Coordinating shipments to Italy For many international buyers, an agent not only saves time, but more importantly reduces operational risks. Want to purchase from 1688 but don’t want to be stumped by language, payment and logistics? If you want to source from Italy in 1688 but don’t know how to verify suppliers, process payments, or arrange international logistics, we can help. Rakumart can provide the following support: sourcing procurement support inspection services supplier payment international logistics coordination to help you import from China safer and smoother. 👉 Apply for 1688 Procurement Assistance 👉 Apply for supplier or product review 👉 Inquire about shipping and consolidation options Conclusion If you want to get better prices, more supplier choices, and more direct access to Chinese manufacturers, sourcing from Italy at 1688 will be a strategy well worth considering. However, importing from China using 1688 requires greater process controls than sourcing on simpler international platforms. If you don’t carefully vet your suppliers, quality, return terms, and logistics arrangements, the initial cost savings will be lost. It will most likely be paid back at a higher cost later. If you want to take advantage of the advantages of 1688 importing, but don’t want to bear all the risks alone, seeking professional support can often make a decisive difference. Date: 2026.9.15
OEM-ODM difference
The Difference Between OEM and ODM: Analysis of Advantages and Disadvantages and How to Choose If you are evaluating a manufacturing partnership model, it is important to understand the difference between OEM and ODM to choose the right option for your business. Simply put, under the OEM model, the customer company provides product design and technical specifications, and the manufacturer is responsible for producing as required; while under the ODM model, the manufacturer is not only responsible for production, but also provides product design, and the customer’s brand can be directly affixed with its own brand for sales. While both models are very common in international manufacturing, they each serve different needs. Choosing OEM or ODM usually depends on your requirements for degree of customization, budget, speed to market, and product control. What is an OEM? OEM is the abbreviation of Original Equipment Manufacturer, which is usually translated as original equipment manufacturer in Chinese. In this model, the customer company is responsible for the development of product concept, design, and technical specifications, while the OEM manufacturer produces according to these requirements. Characteristics of the OEM model • Product design is provided by the customer company • Production is completed by the manufacturer • Products are sold under the customer’s brand • Suitable for companies with independent design or R&D capabilities Under what circumstances is it appropriate to choose OEM? OEM is often a more suitable choice when a company: • Already has a clear product design • Needs a higher degree of customization • Wants to form a clear differentiation in the market • Wants to maintain greater control over the brand and user experience What is ODM? ODM is the abbreviation of Original Design Manufacturer, which is usually translated as original design manufacturer in Chinese. In this mode, The manufacturer is not only responsible for production but also for product design. Client companies can choose an existing design, make minor adjustments, and sell it under their own brand. Characteristics of the ODM model • Product design is developed by the manufacturer • Production is also completed by the manufacturer • Customers can use their own brands to sell products • Suitable for companies that want to go to market quickly and with low initial investment. Under what circumstances is it appropriate to choose ODM? ODM usually has more advantages when an enterprise has the following needs: • Wants to enter the market quickly • Does not have its own R&D team • Wants to reduce product development costs • Can accept a more limited degree of customization The core difference between OEM and ODM The core difference between OEM and ODM lies in the ownership of product design responsibility. • OEM: Customer design, factory production • ODM: Factory design and production From a practical perspective, OEM provides higher control and room for differentiation, but usually requires more time, investment and communication costs; ODM helps launch products faster, but is usually weaker in uniqueness and exclusivity. Advantages and Disadvantages of OEM Model Advantages of OEM 1. Stronger brand control: Customer companies control product design and can better align with brand positioning. 2. High degree of customization: Materials, functions, appearance and technical parameters can be adjusted according to the needs of the target market. 3. Utilize external manufacturing capabilities: Companies can produce products without building their own factories, purchasing equipment, or setting up a production team. 4. Focus more on strategic links: After manufacturing is handed over to the factory, the company can focus on research and development, marketing, channels and sales. Disadvantages of OEM 1. Dependence on manufacturers: May face risks such as insufficient production capacity, delayed delivery or unstable quality. 2. Intellectual property risk: Core assets such as drawings, specifications, molds and technical documents need to be protected through clear contracts. 3. Higher coordination complexity: Since design and production belong to different entities, technical communication must be very precise, otherwise it is easy to make mistakes. Advantages and Disadvantages of ODM Model Advantages of ODM 1. Faster time to market: Due to development based on off-the-shelf designs, companies can significantly shorten product time to market. 2. Lower R&D costs: There is no need to undertake the complete product design and development process from scratch. 3. Lower technical risk in the early stage: ODM factories usually adopt proven or mature design solutions. 4. Greater business flexibility: Customers can choose from existing products and make small adjustments to suit the target market. Disadvantages of ODM 1. Weak brand differentiation: If multiple customers adopt similar basic designs, product uniqueness may be insufficient. 2. Limited design control: It is difficult for the customer company to completely determine all technical details and functional settings. 3. Intellectual property rights and exclusivity risks: It is necessary to confirm in advance whether the design involves third-party rights, and clarify the scope of modification and use in the contract. 4. Reliance on the manufacturer’s innovation capabilities: The speed of subsequent product iterations often depends on the supplier’s own R&D capabilities. How to choose between OEM and ODM? No one model is absolutely better, it all depends on your business goals. Suitable situations for choosing OEM If you meet the following conditions, it is recommended to give priority to OEM: • You need highly customized products • You already have independent designs or clear technical specifications • Your brand strategy relies on obvious differentiation • You are willing to invest more time in development and communication Suitable situations for choosing ODM If you value the following factors more, ODM may be more suitable for: • Want to launch products quickly • Relatively limited budget • No internal design or R&D team • Want to verify the market first before deciding whether to carry out independent development Things that need to be confirmed before cooperating with manufacturers Regardless of choosing OEM or ODM, it is recommended to check the following before signing: • Intellectual property rights and confidentiality clauses • Ownership of molds, drawings and technical documents • Quality standards and inspection processes • Delivery cycle and actual production capacity • Certification qualifications and regulatory compliance • Whether the conditions for exclusive cooperation are met • After-sales support and problem handling mechanism If the product falls into a regulated category, it is also recommended to additionally confirm compliance matters such as technical certification, labeling requirements, and safety regulations required by the target market. Expert advice: How to use quality standards as a basis for auditing suppliers? Regardless of whether you ultimately choose OEM or ODM, when evaluating a supplier, you should not only look at price, but also whether its management system is sound. As an important basis for supply chain management audits, I recommend giving priority to confirming whether suppliers have passed ISO 9001:2015 quality management system certification. Why is this a critical review point? 1. Consistency guarantee ISO 9001 certification indicates that the manufacturer has standardized operating procedures (SOP). • For OEM projects, this means the process is controllable when your design drawings are converted into samples and mass production. • For ODM projects, this means that each batch of OEM products is more likely to consistently meet established quality standards. 2. Documentation management When auditing the factory, You can ask to see: • Engineering change orders (ECO/ECN) • Defect analysis reports • Quality exception handling records If a factory cannot provide relevant documents based on the ISO management system, then your core intellectual property and execution quality in OEM customization may be at higher risk. 3. Continuous improvement capabilities Factories certified by ISO 9001 usually establish a regular corrective and preventive action (CAPA) process. When deviations occur in production, such factories can often provide more professional and transparent problem tracking and improvement plans, rather than simply passing the buck. Professional advice: When conducting on-site factory inspections or evaluating supplier reports, don’t just look at the certificate itself. You should also ask the factory quality manager directly: “How are you implementing the ISO 9001 framework into your current order process?” Compliance and credibility will usually be higher if the other party can clearly explain its internal audit mechanism and how it is actually implemented. Conclusion The main difference between OEM and ODM is who is responsible for product design. In the OEM model, the customer controls the design and the manufacturer is responsible for production; in the ODM model, the manufacturer provides both design and production, so brands can bring products to market faster. If your business values control, personalization and brand differentiation more, OEM is often a more suitable choice; if your priority is to shorten the cycle, reduce upfront investment and enter the market quickly, then ODM may be more suitable for you. Before making a decision, it is recommended that you comprehensively evaluate: cost, intellectual property rights, project cycle, and the manufacturer’s true capabilities. Only in this way can we find the cooperation model that best suits our business stage and market goals. ───────────────────────────────────────────────── This article is written by Rakumart, who has 10 years of experience in the supply chain management and production field.
