China, handled.

We conduct a multi-step vetting process: company registration check, factory visit in person, sample evaluation, reference checks with existing buyers, and review of certifications. We only recommend suppliers we would work with ourselves.

We work with orders starting from €5,000. For smaller orders we recommend consolidation shipping which we can also arrange.

A standard pre-shipment inspection starts from €300 per man-day. The exact cost depends on the product type, factory location, and scope of inspection. We provide a fixed quote upfront.

Typically 2–4 weeks from brief to shortlisted suppliers with samples. Production timelines depend on the factory and order size.

We work across most categories — electronics, textiles, furniture, machinery, packaging, and consumer goods. We'll tell you upfront if a category is outside our expertise.

You pay us via SEPA bank transfer with a proper EU VAT invoice. We handle all payments to Chinese suppliers on your behalf through our established banking channels.

If quality issues are found during inspection, we stop the shipment and negotiate with the supplier before goods leave China. This is why inspection before shipping is critical.

Yes — our China-Side Agent service gives you a permanent presence in China. We attend supplier meetings, monitor production, and handle day-to-day communication on a retainer basis.
