Your sourcing agent in China,
without the nasty surprises.

There is no single figure: the right budget depends on the product, the volume and the destination. Our clients range from test orders of a few CBM shipped LCL to full containers. What matters is that your project stays profitable once every real cost is included: sourcing, quality control, freight, customs and taxes.

If your budget is too tight for an import to make sense, we tell you on the first call, free of charge. For a first import, we almost always recommend starting small, with a sample and then a test order, before moving to a full container once the product and supplier are validated.

That's the right question to ask any sourcing agent — and the honest answer is that trust is built in stages, not on a promise. You stay in control: you validate every supplier, every sample, and every payment, never us on your behalf.

We negotiate a firm price before any order, confirmed with you in writing. That price doesn't move once production starts — no surprise costs discovered later, no renegotiation mid-way. For a first project, we always recommend starting small — a sample, a test order — before committing a significant volume.

We remain a human-scale operation: that means a direct, responsive point of contact, not a marketing claim. If a question is left without a clear answer before your order, it's not on you to trust us — it's on us to earn it.

This is exactly why quality control happens before shipping, not after you receive the goods. Our pre-shipment inspections check a statistical sample of your order against your specifications, with a detailed photo report sent before the container leaves China.

If a non-conformity is detected at this stage, we hold the shipment and negotiate with the supplier — rework, replacement, or discount — before you've paid the balance or the goods are at sea. It's far easier to resolve in China, with an agent on the ground, than once the container has reached you.

After qualification, a proposal or detailed feedback is sent to you within 48 business hours, depending on the scope of the project. After that, lead time depends on your product: usually 2 to 4 weeks of production (depending on complexity and MOQ), then 30 to 45 days of sea transit depending on route and port, or 5 to 10 days by air, plus customs clearance.

For a first sea-freight order, allow 2 to 3 months on average between supplier validation and delivery. Lead times shrink considerably for later orders, once the supplier is validated and production runs smoothly.

Yes. We operate at the crossroads of Asia, Europe, Africa and Pakistan. Examples on this site often use France for illustration, but we handle a range of corridors: China → Europe, China → UAE, China → Africa, China → Pakistan.

The principle stays the same regardless of your destination — supplier audit, quality control, freight, customs — only transit times and costs vary. Tell us your destination and we'll give you a tailored pricing grid.
