Free Sourcing Plan
Version: 1.0
Last Updated: July 26, 2026
Discover Chinese Watches at Chinese Domestic Prices
Many Chinese watches are only available through domestic Chinese channels, making them difficult for international collectors to purchase.
Through the Free Sourcing Plan from China Watch Shop .com, we help collectors source selected Chinese watches directly from the Chinese market.
You only pay:
- The actual Chinese domestic watch price
- Currency adjustment (3%) for non-CNY payments
- Payment processing fees (if applicable)
- International shipping cost
- Applicable import duties and taxes
We do not add any product markup or sourcing profit.
Price Calculation
The sourcing price is based on the actual Chinese domestic watch price.
For payments made in currencies other than Chinese Yuan (CNY), a 3% currency adjustment will be applied to cover exchange rate fluctuations and currency conversion costs.
No currency adjustment will be applied if payment is received directly in Chinese Yuan (CNY).
Payment processing fees may apply depending on the payment method used.

4. Quality Inspection
