Finding and verifying the right suppliers
On Alibaba, 1688 or at trade fairs, it is hard to tell a factory from a middleman. We search, contact and compare at least three suppliers for you, then verify their business licence, capital, disputes and real production capacity.
- Specifications translated into Chinese
- Negotiation of prices, MOQ, lead times and payment terms
- Sample ordering and consolidation
- On-site factory audit if required
Paying your Chinese suppliers in yuan
Many suppliers prefer to be paid in CNY to a Chinese account, or via Alipay / WeChat Pay for small amounts. You pay us in euros by SEPA transfer; we pay the supplier against a verified pro-forma invoice and send you the proof of payment.
- Deposit and balance payments, with production follow-up in between
- Balance paid only after inspection if you wish
- Transparent exchange rate, 1.5% commission (min. €25)

Pre-shipment quality control
Our inspectors visit the factory before the balance is paid: counting, visual and dimensional checks, functional tests, packaging and marking checks (CE, local-language labelling). Photo report within 24 h.
Compliance: to be sold in the EU, your products must meet the applicable rules (CE marking, GPSR, REACH…). We help you collect the documents from the supplier.
