Nitrile Gloves Wholesale: What US Buyers Need to Know Before Importing from China
Importing nitrile gloves from China can be a practical way for US distributors and resellers to build a direct sourcing program, but certifications, MOQ, sampling and shipping details matter.
Why US Buyers Source Nitrile Gloves from China
Production-network pricing can help importers and wholesalers build margin for distribution, retail markup or resale when shipping costs and documents are managed correctly.
FDA Documentation: What to Confirm
For nitrile gloves sold for medical examination use in the US, confirm the intended use, product documentation and whether the exact SKU is covered by the supplier's paperwork.
What MOQ to Expect
Many factories require 500 boxes or full container loads. EASTGLOVES starts at 100 boxes, equal to 10 cartons under standard packing.
Sampling Before Bulk Order
Request samples to check material feel, thickness, color accuracy, sizing, packaging and matching documents before committing to a bulk order.
Lead Times and Shipping
Production lead time is typically 7 to 15 days after order confirmation. Sea freight from Ningbo to major US ports often takes about 18 to 25 days.
