Yiwu International Trade City — District 3

义乌国际商贸城三区

District 3 opened in September 2005 and is the place for stationery, school and office supplies, sports goods, sunglasses and reading glasses, cosmetics and sewing trims such as buttons and zippers. It suits back-to-school and office-supply importers, small cosmetics or accessories brands and apparel makers needing trims. Standard booths are small and stock-heavy, while the upper floors have larger manufacturer showrooms. Cosmetics and eyewear buyers should budget time for compliance checks because these categories are regulated in most destination markets.

Buyer tips

  • Stationery peaks before the back-to-school season; suppliers are busiest (and least flexible) from late spring to summer.
  • For cosmetics, ask for ingredient lists and any existing safety reports; EU/UK/US rules require a responsible person or registration.
  • Buttons and zippers are usually sold by weight or by the gross — clarify units and colour-card availability.
  • The 5th floor is a cluster for framed art and decorative paintings, including custom sizes.
