Australian wholesale programs

Factory-Backed Artificial Flower Supplier for Australian Buyers

Heron Home Decor supports Australian homewares wholesalers, retailers and importers sourcing artificial Christmas greenery, wreaths, garlands and everyday florals from China. Products from our family factory have reached Australian homewares wholesalers through export partners, and the export team now offers its own seasonal developments directly.

Heron is based in Xiamen, China. We are a factory-backed B2B supplier, not an Australian warehouse or stock supplier. Our primary trade term is FOB Xiamen; the Australian importer handles import clearance, including biosecurity requirements, and order, packing and shipment details are confirmed per inquiry.

Australian wholesale sourcing workflow

Plan the product, sample, packing and delivery window together.

Step 1

Plan for a summer Christmas

In Australia, Christmas falls in summer and stores typically set Christmas ranges in spring. Work backward from your warehouse arrival through sea transit, production and sample approval. Seasonal timing also flips for other ranges: Easter falls in autumn, and spring florals sell from around September.

  • Range direction and supplier briefing early in the year
  • Samples and revisions: existing or adjusted styles about 7–14 days, new development about 14–21 days
  • Production about 60–90 days, up to around 105 days in the peak Christmas season
  • Sea transit to your port planned separately, ahead of the spring store set

Step 2

Biosecurity: plan for natural components

Australia applies strict biosecurity import conditions. Products that include natural plant material, such as real pinecones, dried botanicals or wood, may need treatment, certificates or inspection; check the conditions for each item in BICON, the Australian government's import conditions database, or with your customs broker. Many Christmas styles use real pinecones, so confirm this per style before ordering.

  • Ask for the natural components of each shortlisted style before quotation
  • Treatment and certificate needs confirmed per order with your customs broker
  • Replacing natural accents with artificial ones can be discussed where needed
  • Heron's standard packing is inner boxes and outer export cartons

Step 3

Labelling, packing and MOQ

Heron can apply buyer-supplied barcodes, private-label hangtags and carton marks. Styles typically start at about 100 pieces per style for wreaths, garlands and swags and about 180 for picks and stems, rounded up to full export cartons; final MOQ is confirmed per style and order mix. Country-of-origin marking and any product-specific requirements are confirmed with the buyer before quotation.

  • Barcodes using buyer-confirmed data
  • Private-label hangtags and carton marks
  • Typical starting MOQ about 100 pieces per style (about 180 for picks and stems), rounded up to full cartons
  • Product-specific requirements confirmed before quotation; no blanket certification is claimed

Step 4

Own developments, catalog images and factory checks

Heron's export team offers its own seasonal developments each year, so your range is not limited to styles circulating through other agents. Before you commit, you can check the factory in person or by video.

  • Heron's own seasonal developments, offered directly by the export team
  • Reference-photo and private-label development for your range
  • White-background product images for your catalog, web shop and trade presentations
  • Factory visits by appointment or a live WhatsApp video walk-through of the workshop and sample room

Common Australian buyer questions

Before requesting a quotation

Does Heron ship from a warehouse in Australia?

No. Heron is based in Xiamen, China and works as a factory-backed B2B supplier. The primary trade term is FOB Xiamen, and the Australian importer handles import clearance, including biosecurity requirements.

Do wreaths with real pinecones need extra steps for Australia?

They may. Natural plant material such as real pinecones can be subject to Australian biosecurity import conditions, including treatment or certificates. Check the conditions in BICON or with your customs broker, and ask Heron for the natural components of each style before ordering.

When should Australian buyers start sourcing Christmas ranges?

Work backward from your warehouse arrival ahead of the spring store set. Brief early in the year, allow for samples and revisions, about 60–90 days of production (up to around 105 days in peak season) and sea transit to your port.

Have Heron factory products been sold in Australia?

Yes. Products from our family factory have reached Australian homewares wholesalers through export partners. Customer names are kept confidential.

Can we visit the factory before ordering?

Yes. Buyers are welcome to visit the factory by appointment, or see the workshop and sample room on a live WhatsApp video call.

Can Heron provide product images for our catalog?

Yes. White-background product images can be provided for your catalog, web shop and trade presentations.
