Challenges we solve
No import experience is required. We guide you through each stage.
Your current supplier keeps increasing prices
You want to import from China but are unsure where to begin
You found a supplier online and cannot confirm it is legitimate
Shipping, customs and compliance feel complex
Fewer layers between you and the factory
Most imported products pass through several companies before reaching you. We help you work closer to the source.
A typical supply chain

- Trading company

Each intermediary usually adds its own margin. Working closer to the manufacturer can reduce those layers. The actual difference depends on your product, your volume and your current supplier.

Is there a minimum order?
No. You can start with a single product in any quantity. The research fee remains the same.
Are samples free?
It depends on the supplier. Many provide samples at no charge, although the courier cost is usually paid by the buyer.
