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.


How It Works

1. Submit Your Request

Send us the Chinese watch model you are interested in.

2. Sourcing Evaluation

We will review whether the watch qualifies for our Free Sourcing Plan.

3. Price Confirmation

If accepted, we will provide:

  • Chinese domestic market price
  • Estimated international shipping cost
  • Any applicable additional charges

You can decide whether to proceed before any purchase is made.

4. Quality Inspection

Before shipment, we will inspect the watch and confirm:

  • Correct model
  • Condition matches the description
  • Basic functions are working properly

5. International Shipping

After approval, the watch will be shipped to you.
