Check with the state department or chmaber of commerce for import restrictions - they recently changed the laws I think making it harder to import/export from China - but, you can always route through a 3rd country.
Also, check with the Chinese Chamber of commerce as well. Some art is not allowed to leave the country - you could have a big mess on your hands otherwise.
Try to attend a China Expo - they have them here in LA. Just do a google search for it. You might be able to hook up with a connection or a supplier.
Are you going to do it wholesale or through a storefront or through a gallery? You can probably check the local stores to see how they are set up. San Gabriel valley has a few storefronts (Montery Park, Alhambra etc). I think there are alot of art galleries in Chinatown now too.
