The first step is free and takes you two minutes. Everything after it is a defined engagement with clear deliverables, so you always know what you are paying for and what you are getting.
Upload photos, a drawing or a specification — of a product you already buy, or one you want to develop — plus roughly how many you buy. That is enough for us to start. Nothing needs to be shipped to us: we work from product information, not from a physical sample.
We assess whether the product is a realistic candidate for China sourcing at your volume. You receive a clear, written first opinion: likely to make commercial sense, probably not economical at your quantity, or potentially affected by compliance or tariff issues.
If the product is worth pursuing, we scope a sourcing engagement: supplier search and qualification, structured RFQ, like-for-like quote comparison covering price, MOQ, lead time and terms, negotiation, and a landed-cost view that includes freight, duties and handling.
Samples are ordered and reviewed against your specification before any production order is placed. We present the options side by side with the trade-offs stated, so the selection is yours — made with better information.
Purchase order support, pre-shipment inspection coordination against your specification, documentation, and shipping coordination through to departure from China — with your freight forwarder or ours.
Once a supplier and specification are proven, reorders, replenishment and new items run through the same relationship. This is the point of the service: not a one-off search, but a standing procurement desk on the China side.
Here is exactly what the free assessment covers — and what it does not.
We respond within 2 business days with a written preliminary assessment.
A photo and an approximate quantity are enough for the first assessment. Specifications come later if the product is worth pursuing.
Our fee structure depends on the scope of the engagement and is disclosed in writing before any work begins. You always know the cost and the deliverables before you commit.
MOQ is one of the first things we flag. If your volume cannot support a realistic MOQ, we will tell you that in the free assessment rather than after you have paid for sourcing work.
We coordinate shipping out of China and documentation. Customs clearance and duties into Canada are handled with your broker — we make sure you see the landed-cost impact before you commit.
No. We operate in French, English and Chinese, so nothing is lost between your team, us and the factories.
Sending a product costs you nothing and commits you to nothing. It tells you whether China sourcing is worth exploring at all.

Once a scope is agreed, execution follows a fixed sequence. Each stage has one owner, so nothing sits in the gap between them.
Qualified supplier, agreed specification, MOQ, price and payment terms documented in writing.
Purchase order issued, deposit released, production slot booked with the factory.
Manufacturing against the approved specification and approved sample.
Pre-shipment check against specification, before any balance payment is released.
Documentation, consolidation and departure from China, by the agreed mode.
Clearance, duty and final delivery to your location, with documents handed over.
Sequence is indicative. Duration depends on the product, the factory and the shipping mode — which is why we quote a lead-time range rather than a single date.
Photos, a drawing or a specification are enough — nothing needs to be shipped. Free initial assessment, and if China sourcing is not the right route for your product, we will tell you that too.
