Union Delta is a China-sourcing partner for US importers, Amazon FBA sellers, and hardware brands. We buy from 1688, Alibaba, and the Canton Fair — which we’ve walked twice a year since 2008 — and share the numbers-first guides we wish we’d had. No fluff, no SEO filler.
Referral, fulfilment, the 3.5% surcharge, ads, the 12.5% China duty overlay and Golden Week freight, line by line on one $29.99 product — and the one lever that still returns dollars, not cents.
What is cheaper from China for a GPU server and what is not, the RTX 4090 48 GB explained, a 4-GPU inference box and an 8-GPU 4U server with landed prices, DGX H200 and B300 for teams that need HBM, and spare parts for a running fleet.

Amazon opened a bulk warehouse (GWD) in Shenzhen, Shanghai and Ningbo. It can cut your storage cost ~45% and speed restocks — but it does NOT lower your Section 301 tariffs. Here's what it really means for US FBA sellers.
