I manage imports for a few printers/ distributors. They seem to be finding good value in China. From the freight side it's pretty smooth. Transit time by sea is relatively short. When getting a quote,  ask them to supply on FOB terms. That is often the best way to import, subject to the specific conditions of your order.

I use a company in China who are very good and great value. wishpacking.com. My contact is Mr Woodwei.
