Doing Business in China

How to succeed in China sourcing business

1. You supply product information such as specifications, drawings, special material requirements, target price, quantities and anticipated lead-time.  Note: Your target price times the quantity you are seeking should equal $50,000US or higher to make manufacturing in China economically practical.

2. A thorough analysis of your product is performed by our Beijing engineering staff to help determine whether it is a “sourcing” project (product is currently being manufactured within your specifications) or a “contract manufacturing” project.  We will determine the tooling cost and ask you whether or not you want a tooled sample or a “hand-made” sample.  If it is the latter, there may be a “tooling” charge.

3. Your products are sourced from either already existing sources of production or manufacturing through our family factories or trusted pre-screened factory network, working on your behalf we negotiate the best possible price for you (we are ‘not’ factory agents), you are then provided a quotation that will include our service fee (generally 10%) for the product which will include estimated delivery time.

4. If a sample order is requested, a quotation for the sample is provided and upon your inspection and approval, purchase orders for contract quantities are placed.

5. Mass production is begun, you advise us of your preferred shipping methods (air or ocean freight).

6. Production is completed, packaged according to your specifications and your order is loaded into a shipping container for delivery to the USA and to your facility.
