China Direct Trading Corp. Submits Chinese Roof Tiles to Testing Firm

China Direct Trading Corporation (OTC BB: CHDT), a U.S.-Chinese trading company, today announced that its subsidiary, China Pathfinder Fund, LLC (CPF), has taken its first step towards being the first company to import Chinese roof tiles for the building industry by hiring IRT and John D'Annunzio, a 20-year roofing consultant and testing firm located in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

IRT is experienced in this process and we look forward to working with them," said Howard Ullman, Chairman and CEO of CPF.

The company will begin taking orders on roof tile on November 9th, 2005, and will ship all orders on a first come, first serve basis. 120-day deliveries are being quoted and will drop to 60 days upon Dade County approval.

CPF will also manufacture custom tile designs on 120-day turnaround.
