Global Sourcing
& Market Entry for the U.S.

A global sourcing company identifies, vets, negotiates, and manages international manufacturers on behalf of domestic businesses. Rather than leaving buyers to navigate unverified online directories or trading brokers, an operational sourcing partner audits factory facilities, validates business licenses, negotiates direct manufacturing pricing, manages tooling and sample approvals, enforces on-site quality control, and coordinates cross-border freight and customs clearance to final delivery.

We conduct rigorous due diligence on the ground. We check official government corporate registries (such as China’s AIC system) to confirm active legal status, verify registered versus paid-in capital, inspect physical plant facilities and machinery ownership, examine worker headcount, and review past export customs records to ensure the supplier is a legitimate direct manufacturer rather than an unauthorized broker or middleman.

Quality fade is prevented through binding bilingual manufacturing contracts that explicitly link payment milestones to objective AQL (Acceptance Quality Limit) 2.5 inspection results. We retain approved physical golden samples, conduct during-production checks (DUPRO), and perform final pre-shipment inspections (PSI) at the factory before authorizing the release of final balance payments.

Imported goods are subject to base ad valorem customs duties under the U.S. Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTSUS), and goods originating from China may be subject to additional Section 301 tariffs (typically 7.5% to 25%). We classify your product under the exact 10-digit HTS code, modeling all duties, harbor maintenance fees (HMF), and merchandise processing fees (MPF) to establish your true delivered landed cost before you order.

We provide comprehensive operational support for international manufacturers and global brands: mapping products against U.S. federal and state regulations (FDA, CPSC, FCC, California Prop 65), helping determine and coordinate an appropriate U.S. importer-of-record structure, onboarding domestic 3PL fulfillment warehouses, creating American-standard wholesale sales collateral, and facilitating outreach to qualified U.S. distributors and retailers.

Yes. For qualified manufacturers with verified production facilities, competitive export pricing, and compliant products, we act as a dedicated U.S. commercial representative. We pitch American wholesale distributors and retail buyers, manage buyer communications in U.S. business hours, and secure recurring purchase orders.

MOQs vary by product category and customization level. For custom packaging and private label products, initial runs typically start between 500 and 1,000 units. For cut-and-sew apparel, MOQs start around 300 to 500 units per style. For custom injection molded hardgoods, initial runs typically start at 1,000 units. We review your specifications to negotiate the lowest viable threshold.

Contracts and invoicing are structured transparently based on client requirements. Sourcing and product supply projects are contracted through our established commercial entities in France or China, clearly identified in your formal quotation before you commit, with complete specification, pricing, sample, and delivery terms locked into your order.
