How our sourcing process works

Seven clear stages, from your brief to goods at your door.

1

Requirement brief

You share the product, specifications, target price, quantity and destination port. We clarify anything unclear before we search.

2

Market research and supplier discovery

We search factory directories, trade platforms and our own network across the right Chinese hub for your product.

3

Supplier screening and verification

Business licence, export history, capacity and references are checked. Weak candidates are removed early.

4

Factory audit

Our team visits or video-audits the shortlisted factories and reports what we see, with photos and video.

5

Sampling and negotiation

Samples are tested against your specification. We negotiate price, MOQ, lead time and payment terms in the local language.

6

Production monitoring and inspection

We follow production, then run a pre-shipment inspection on quantity, quality and packing before the final payment.

7

Shipping, customs and delivery

Sea, air or rail freight, documentation and Indian customs clearance are coordinated through to your door.

Import Guide

How to source products from China for your Indian business

Sourcing from China can cut your product cost significantly, but only when you choose the right supplier, agree clear terms and control quality. Here is how Indian importers typically do it.

1. Get your import registrations in place

Commercial imports into India need an Importer Exporter Code (IEC) and GST registration. If you are starting out, we can guide you through the process before your first order.

2. Choose the right sourcing hub and supplier

China's industrial clusters specialise. Yiwu leads in embroidery materials and fashion accessories, Keqiao and Shaoxing in fabrics, yarn and looms, and Haining in home textiles. A good China sourcing agent matches your product to the right city and factory instead of a trading middleman.

3. Verify before you pay

Check the business licence, audit the factory, test samples and review export history. This single step prevents most import fraud.

4. Agree safe payment terms

Payment methods range from letters of credit to cash against documents and advance payments. Read our guide to payment terms for importers and send an RFQ for your product to get quotes.

5. Plan freight, duty and clearance

Customs duty and IGST depend on the product's HS code, so classify correctly before you order. Sea freight is economical for bulk, while air suits urgent or high-value goods. Browse the products we source or talk to our team for a landed-cost estimate.
