Your China sourcing agent, from product brief to delivery

Source building materials, tiles, aluminium composite panels (ACP), furniture, textiles, industrial equipment and many other products. Tell us what you need; we confirm supplier availability, scope and pricing before you commit.

Find and compare suppliers

Send a product brief, drawings or reference photographs. We compare specifications, order quantities, manufacturing lead times and supplier quotations.

Check quality before shipment

Agree inspection scope, samples and acceptance criteria. Factory visits, photographs, video calls and pre-shipment QC can be arranged and quoted.

Purchase and consolidate in China

Coordinate orders across suppliers, pickup and warehouse consolidation. Confirm purchasing fees, storage terms and payment arrangements in your written quotation.

Plan the delivered cost

Compare freight, export handling, Australian clearance, applicable duty/GST and delivery. Sourcing and QC fees are itemised where applicable.

What to send for an accurate quote

Product specifications or drawings, quantities, target budget, required delivery date and Australian delivery postcode. Let us know whether you already have a supplier. Minimum orders, samples, sourcing fees and inspection costs depend on the product and agreed scope.

How product sourcing from China to Australia works

A sourcing agent helps coordinate the work between your product brief and an approved shipment. The useful output is a clear comparison and documented decisions: what you are buying, from whom, under which terms and with which checks.

  1. 1. Product brief

    Agree the specification, target quantity, intended use, destination and budget. Reference photos help; they do not replace dimensions, materials and acceptance criteria.

  2. 2. Supplier comparison

    Compare equivalent specifications, minimum orders, samples, tooling, packaging, production timing and the supplier’s quotation terms. A cheaper unit price can hide a different product.

  3. 3. Verification scope

    Agree which checks are needed: supplier identity, factory visit, production capability, sample inspection or document review. Record what was checked and what remains unverified.

  4. 4. Sample and order approval

    Approve the sample or drawings, product specification, payment milestones and written order terms before production. Document any changes and who must approve them.

  5. 5. Quality and shipment release

    Set inspection timing and acceptance criteria. Review the agreed inspection findings, packing list and any corrective work before authorising dispatch.

  6. 6. Consolidation and delivery

    Confirm export packing, collection, consolidation, freight scope, clearance arrangements and delivery access. Keep the final shipment documents with the approved specification.

Questions before you source

Can you work with a supplier I have already found?

Include the supplier details and quotation in your brief. We can discuss the verification, purchasing, quality-control or logistics scope you need; availability and fees are confirmed in writing.

How much does a China sourcing agent cost?

There is no single sourcing fee published here. Product complexity, supplier research, samples, factory visits, inspection and purchasing scope affect the quotation. Ask which services are included, which are charged separately and how supplier payments are handled.

What is the minimum order quantity?

Minimum orders depend on the manufacturer, product, customisation and packaging. Share your target quantity so supplier options can be compared. Samples, tooling or setup charges can make a small custom order more expensive per unit.
