Step-by-Step Guide to Sourcing in China
1. Spend Time Looking for a Supplier
Utilize platforms like Alibaba and Made in China to connect with suppliers. Conduct additional checks to ensure you're dealing with manufacturers, not resellers.
2. Hire a Sourcing Agent
IntelliChain Corporation offers flat fees per product or bundles of 10 products. Our fees start at $50 per research product and $65 per sourced product. We provide comprehensive details, including pricing and factory information, and assist in purchasing and shipping samples.
3. Conduct Supplier Verification Checks
Verify if suppliers are manufacturers or middlemen. Check their technical expertise, VAT invoices, audited accounts, and registration records. Ensure they provide a business license and company registration number.
4. Find a Balance Between Price & Quality
Research market prices to negotiate effectively. Avoid suppliers offering prices significantly below market value, as this may indicate compromised quality.
5. Buy Directly from Suppliers
Eliminate middlemen to control the manufacturing process and avoid extra fees. Direct communication minimizes miscommunication and delays.
6. Effectively Communicate with Your Suppliers
Overcome language barriers by hiring a translator if needed. Ensure all technical details are documented in both languages and maintain regular communication.
7. Conduct Quality Control Inspections
Regular inspections during the manufacturing process help identify and address issues promptly, ensuring product quality.
Tips for Sourcing in China
Negotiate with Suppliers: Aim for mutually beneficial deals, armed with data to support your position.
Order Samples: Test product quality before committing to bulk orders.
Build a Professional Relationship: Foster ongoing relationships for potential discounts and better deals. Use communication apps like WeChat, QQ, and Momo.
