China Sourcing & Export

China Sourcing & Export

China-based team sourcing suppliers, verifying factories, managing quality control, consolidating cargo, and coordinating export shipments worldwide.

Benefits of the Service

Supplier intelligence and speed
Data-driven supplier mapping in China
More than online marketplaces

We source suppliers using a combination of trade intelligence, shipment history signals, and China-side supplier research. This approach helps identify active manufacturers and exporters, not just resellers, and improves shortlist quality from the first iteration.

Rapid market mapping with realistic verification

When you provide a clear specification or reference link, we can produce an initial supplier map within the same business day. We then move from “options” to a verified shortlist by checking capability, documentation readiness, and commercial terms.

Clear SLA that fits real projects
Fast verified shortlist for most categories

Typical SLA is 24–48 business hours for a verified shortlist in standard categories after we receive a complete brief. Complex or regulated products may require additional time for compliance screening and capability validation.

Risk control and export readiness
Quality checkpoints, clean consolidation, and export coordination
Quality control as a system, not a single check

We coordinate quality checkpoints across the cycle, including sample alignment, in-process control when needed, and pre-shipment inspection with documented evidence. The goal is to catch issues before goods leave China, when corrective actions are still possible.

What the Service Includes

Sourcing and commercial coordination
Turning your request into a reliable supplier shortlist
Supplier search across most China-made categories

We can source products across most categories manufactured in China, provided they are legal for export and compatible with destination requirements. If a category is regulated, we screen suppliers based on real documentation readiness rather than marketing claims.

RFQ management and negotiation support

We manage RFQ cycles, clarify specifications, align packaging and labeling, and support negotiation on price, lead time, and terms. You get a clear commercial picture before you commit to samples or production.

Execution support after selection
Sample coordination and “golden sample” alignment

We coordinate sampling and confirm the reference standard so the approved sample becomes the benchmark for production. This reduces quality drift and prevents disputes that appear late in the cycle.

Production follow-up with checkpoints

We coordinate timeline tracking and checkpoint execution so production stays aligned with your delivery schedule and packaging plan, especially when multiple suppliers or tight deadlines are involved.

During the conversation with our manager, you can clarify any questions you may have.

During working hours, we respond within 5 minutes

Working Hours

8:00–18:00 (UTC+0)

Consolidation for multi-supplier orders

If you source from multiple suppliers, we coordinate consolidation so cargo moves as one controlled export shipment. This reduces fragmentation, aligns packaging and labeling requirements, and makes the document set cleaner for your importer-side process.

Export documentation and Incoterms clarity

We coordinate export-side documentation readiness and shipment handover based on your preferred Incoterms. You receive an export-ready package that your broker and forwarder can process without last-minute document gaps.

Quality Control and Factory Audits

Practical QC structure for international buyers
The right level of control for your risk profile
Pre-shipment inspection with evidence

We coordinate pre-shipment inspection and provide documented outcomes with photo and video evidence where applicable. If issues are found, we support structured corrective actions before shipment departure.

In-process checks for higher-risk orders

For complex production or higher-risk categories, we can coordinate in-process checks to detect defects earlier, reducing the cost and time impact compared with discovering problems at the end.

Factory audit when verification matters

When order value, compliance, or supplier uncertainty justify it, we coordinate factory audits or verification to confirm production reality, operational consistency, and documentation readiness. You receive a report that supports safer supplier decisions.

Export and Logistics Coordination

Export from China, worldwide delivery coordination
Export-side readiness and shipment handover
Export documentation readiness package

We coordinate export-side documents typically required for international shipping, including commercial and packing documentation and transport document alignment. Requirements vary by destination and product category, so we confirm the document set early to avoid delays.

Incoterms-based shipping coordination

We work within the responsibilities defined by your chosen Incoterms so responsibilities and cost transfer points are clear. We coordinate export-side execution in China while your importer-side team or broker manages destination clearance.

Export-only scope, importer responsibility stays with the buyer

We do not act as the importer of record in your country. Import clearance, duties, VAT/sales tax, licensing, and destination compliance are handled by you or your appointed customs broker.

Transparency and Commercial Model

Clear scope, no conflicts of interest
Transparent fees and “no kickbacks” principle
No supplier kickbacks, no hidden markups

We do not accept supplier kickbacks or hidden commissions. Our service fee is agreed with the buyer, and third-party costs such as inspections, audits, testing, and freight are either paid directly or passed through transparently with documentation.

Buyer control over payments and decisions

In most projects, the buyer pays suppliers directly under agreed terms. We coordinate the process, validate execution, and document outcomes so you remain in control of money flow and commercial decisions.

How It Works

Simple workflow with practical deliverables
From brief to export-ready shipment
Step 1 — Send your brief

Share a product link or specification, target quantity, destination country and city or port, and any non-negotiable requirements. If your product is regulated, include compliance needs so we can screen suppliers correctly.

Step 2 — Supplier mapping and verified shortlist

We produce an initial supplier map quickly and then deliver a verified shortlist with commercial terms and risk notes. You choose the direction based on price, terms, lead time, and risk profile.

Step 3 — Samples, QC plan, and production coordination

We coordinate sampling and define the QC checkpoints that match your risk level. If needed, we coordinate audits and in-process checks to reduce quality surprises.

Step 4 — Consolidation and export coordination

We coordinate consolidation if multiple suppliers are involved, prepare export readiness, align documentation, and execute shipment handover or freight booking under the agreed plan.

Market Benchmark Pricing

Typical market ranges for planning budgets
Average market pricing models
Sourcing agent fees in the market

For full-service China sourcing, common market models are commission-based or hybrid. A typical commission range is 5–10% of product value, with a mid-market expectation around 7–8%, depending on order size and complexity.

Quality inspection and audit benchmarks

For third-party QC coordination, market rates commonly cluster around a per-inspector day model, often roughly $200–$320 per inspector-day in China. Factory audit benchmarks often fall around $150–$398 per auditor-day depending on scope and location.

Logistics costs are shipment-specific

Freight, insurance, and destination-side charges depend on cargo characteristics, route, and Incoterms. A realistic budget is built only after confirming packaging, weights, volumes, and the handover point.
