I am currently in the planning stage of starting an import business (mainly clothing and accessories). I am at a loss of where to start looking for a genuine manufacturer in Asia, I am interested in all types of clothing (women, men and children).

I have three main problems and I need your advise:

1. My greatest worry is how to determine if the product is genuine so they
don't end up with customs here in Australia.
2. My plan at the moment is to make a trip to Malaysia and Singapore to look
for potential manufacture but I am not quite sure if that is the right place
to start from and if it will be better to go directly to China.
3. How can I get in touch with manufacturer in Asia and how to deal with the
manufacturer, Can anyone share their experience in locating. Is there a
forum like this one where you can check manufactures in Asia and their
product.

I am willing make the trip to any where in Asia to see the product and discuss with the manufacturer.

I will appreciate any respose on how best to approach this as I plan to start selling sometime in July 2010.
