A supplier
for your product.

We look for suppliers for your product and compare prices, minimum order quantities and terms. Our written report presents the search results, available candidate contacts and risks that should be checked before purchasing.

Supplier comparison to support your purchasing decision

Our written report compares candidate terms, includes their contacts and flags risks and open questions. You can use it to choose a supplier for negotiations, order an additional check or decide to change the product requirements.

The standard search target is 3–5 suitable candidates if they exist for your requirements. The number is not guaranteed. If no suitable options are found, we agree on the result format before payment.

What the report contains

We show what information was obtained and what should still be checked before the transaction.

What we compared
Price, minimum order, lead times and terms based on available data.
Candidate contacts
How to contact the companies included in the research.
What remains open
Risks, documents and details that need further clarification.
What to do next
Choose a candidate, request an additional check or proceed to purchasing.

A clear scope of work before payment.

Standard sourcing in China is more than a list of random contacts. Before payment, we agree on one product or related group and the selection criteria so the result can support your purchasing decision.

Supplier sourcing in China

$330

Full price for one product or related group and one clarification round.

Describe the task

What is included in $330

  • Research candidates and available terms for the agreed task.
  • Compare price, minimum order, lead times and terms using available data.
  • Provide contacts of the candidates included in the research.
  • Prepare a written report with risks, discrepancies and open questions.

Samples and their delivery, paid testing, on-site visits, purchasing the batch and transport are not included in $330.

Another market or a broader task

The price of sourcing outside China depends on the country, product, your criteria and the required depth of verification. We clarify the task and calculate the work before payment.

Before payment, we agree on the country, criteria, scope of the search, result, price and timeframe. After the initial review, we give an estimated response time; we start only after the full price and terms are agreed.

We will define the task so candidates can be compared.

Your first enquiry does not need to become a specification dozens of pages long. Just explain what you want to buy and how you will choose: price, minimum order, lead time, quality, documents or delivery.

  • Product and key specifications
  • Planned volume or minimum order
  • Link to a similar product or a description
  • Destination country and important requirements

You can describe the product and add a link in your enquiry. If photos or a specification are needed, we will tell you how to send them.

Supplier review and inspection

Sourcing answers the question of whom it is worth continuing the conversation with. If you need to check the details and documents of a selected Chinese company, order a separate report; inspections, samples and loading control are agreed as separate assignments.

Documentary check of a Chinese company

We check available registration information, compare company details with the documents provided and deliver a report with sources, discrepancies and the limits of the check.

$165

Full price for one Chinese company. Other countries, several companies and a deeper check are calculated separately. Site visits, testing and legal opinions are not included; we do not guarantee solvency.

Request a check

Samples, inspection and loading control

Inspections, testing and loading control are arranged separately from sourcing. Before payment, we show the contractor’s fee and OZTA’s fee. Samples and their delivery are listed separately.

  • Inspection
  • Samples and testing
  • Loading control

Contractor’s work + OZTA fee

For separately arranging work: 10% of the provider’s price, with a minimum OZTA coordination fee of $20 per agreed assignment. If coordination is already included in a paid package, there is no second fee. We do not apply this percentage to government charges, import taxes or the insurance premium.

Illustrative services example

Inspector's work price
$150
OZTA coordination fee
$20
$150 × 10% = $15. We charge the minimum OZTA coordination fee: $20.
Services + coordination
$170

Samples and their delivery are separate. We agree the inspection price based on the scope of work.

Frequently asked questions about sourcing.

The search result, the limits of verification and the next step toward purchasing.

What will I receive from the $330 search?

The $330 China search covers one product or agreed product group and one clarification round. You receive candidate research, a comparison of available prices, minimum orders, lead times and terms, contacts of the companies included in the work, and a written report with risks and open questions. Samples, testing, site visits, purchasing the batch and transport are not included.

What do you check for $165?

For $165 we check one Chinese company using available registration information, company details and provided documents. You receive a report with sources, discrepancies and the limits of the check. Site visits, testing and a legal opinion are not included; solvency is not guaranteed. A check in another country, of several companies or at a greater depth is calculated separately.

When is sourcing priced separately?

A separate estimate is needed for another market, a second assignment, unrelated product groups or an additional research round. Before payment, we agree on the country, criteria, search scope, result, price and timeframe; after the initial review, we give an estimated response time.

Do you source only in China?

No. Sourcing in another country depends on the product, requirements, available sources and the required depth of verification. An enquiry does not confirm a ready channel; we first agree on the terms and a specific offer.

How is sourcing different from purchasing, and what happens after the report?

Sourcing is useful when there is no supplier yet or when you need to compare candidates. After the report, you can choose a company, request a separate documentary check, agree on samples or proceed to purchase the selected product. Purchasing is arranged separately: the order is agreed and payment organised there, so the sourcing fee is not automatically credited toward it.
