The products Rabbit shows for the US today

These four are on the “What sells in the US” screen of the app. Every amount is per piece, on a batch of 20 delivered to the US, excluding ads. US prices were seen on October 31, 2026; costs were calculated on November 4, 2026.

“You pay” is what a piece costs you in Rabbit, our fees included. “Fees” is everything between that and the resale price, apart from your profit: shipping from China, then what goes after the sale. The profit is estimated: the US price is a price seen on one day, not a promise.

These amounts are calculated on a batch of 20. For a US account today, an order of more than 3 pieces can’t be paid in dollars yet: its delivery is paid at the weighing, and that payment isn’t open in dollars. You can order up to 3 pieces, delivery included. So with a US account, you start with a sample: how to order a sample from 1688.

What is inside the “Fees”?

• Shipping from China to the US, per piece of a 20-piece batch, from a real shipping quote. For the projector: $18.58.
• What goes after the sale: the TikTok Shop fee, the parcel to your buyer at the USPS Ground Advantage price for its weight, and US import duties on goods from China. For the projector: $34.30.

The sales channel of the calculation is TikTok Shop, your own posts, no ads. If you pay for ads, they come out of the estimated profit. All the steps of the calculation: how to calculate your profit on a product from China. US duties, explained: how to resell products from China in the US.

Which products leave a profit only with a minimum order?

Two more products from the same catalog leave at least $10 a piece, but the seller sets a minimum, so they sit in “See the whole selection”, not on the main screen:

• WiFi range extender, minimum 20 pieces: you pay $7.47, fees $27.37, resale $59.99, estimated profit $25.15.
• Wooden salt and pepper mills, minimum 2 pieces: you pay $5.59, fees $17.32, resale $44.99, estimated profit $22.08.

How does Rabbit decide what sells in the US?

Every product goes through three questions. Is it interesting? For which country? At what quantity? The starting point is 1688’s own ranking of products that sell abroad, country by country. For the US, it pairs each product sold on Amazon in the US with a 1688 listing, and shows both prices.

1. Read the ranking. On October 31, 2026: 2,919 products in 418 sub-categories, from its “top sales” and “new arrivals” lists.
2. Filter. Among what goes out: food, health, cosmetics, licensed products, big brands, parts for one named model, products under $9 in the US, and any minimum order that commits more than $300. We kept the top 4 of each sub-category: 1,020.
3. Check every pairing by eye. 1688 pairs products by image, and it is often wrong: 436 were left.
4. Price it delivered to the US at 20 pieces, with a real shipping quote: 169 could be priced completely. 142 left no profit. 27 did, 11 of them $10 a piece or more.
5. Look again. On November 9, 2026, we removed two: one listing sold an empty camera housing with a real camera’s US price, the other’s photo carried a brand name.
6. Keep what a beginner can sell. At least $10 of estimated profit a piece, sold from one piece, no fashion, baby, beauty or jewelry, nothing liquid: four products.

The quantity changes the answer. On 1688 the price per piece drops as the batch grows, so a product that leaves nothing at 20 pieces can leave a profit at a larger batch. Ask Rabbit for a quote at your quantity: test, batch, brand: how to start with one product.

Why are these numbers dated, and how long do they last?

Because prices move. The app takes a product off this screen 45 days after its prices were checked, and stops showing a profit 45 days after it was calculated: these four leave the screen in mid-December 2026 unless they are checked again. The US price is the one seen on October 31, 2026, not the price you will get. And a pairing can still be wrong: a resale of $299.99 for a projector you pay $64.69 for is exactly the kind of gap to check with a sample before a batch. How to order a sample from 1688.
