China Glue Orders in Decline
For the past six years, BSI has partnered with a Chinese company who markets our adhesives in China. They have put a lot of effort into exposing professional users to BSI products and their excellent features. Recently, they informed us of the reason sales in 2025 have seen a decline. They discovered that a hobby shop in North China has people that are visiting the US purchase BSI’s CAs in bulk from retail model shops. They then hide it in their luggage on their return trip to China, bypassing the freight charge and import duties that our official distributor must pay. We have begun steps to prevent this from happening in the future, but we can’t help but feel it is a compliment that BSI adhesives are considered superior enough to have them smuggled into China.
We've Declined Dealer Inquiries
Along that same line, for the past year we have been receiving more than a dozen inquiries a week from “companies” that want to sell our products online. We have rejected 98% of them. An important reason for the superiority of BSI’s CAs is their freshness by the time they get into the hands of consumers. BSI could have a short-term gain by establishing these new “dealers,” but the likely result would be some consumers receiving products that are old after the dealer takes too long to sell our products. Our reputation is too important to take that chance. Our established dealer network has done an excellent job for BSI. Many dealers get products to consumers in less than a week from the time the adhesives are bottled.
All new orders to our dealer in China will have this special logo below. This way the customer will know that our glue is being brought to them through legitimate channels and our quality standards can be maintained.
