Import Sourcing
Find the Overseas Supplier.
Connect It into Supply at Home.
Import sourcing means finding an overseas supplier and connecting it into a deal at home. More than handing over a list of names — order and lead-time viability gets confirmed first.
Anyone can turn up a factory in a search. The hard part is telling which one will actually hold the quality and lead time it promises. Price, quality, delivery, certification and fit on site are all checked firsthand; only suppliers worth dealing with make the shortlist, and quality and logistics stay managed all the way through.

Frequently Asked Questions
How Is This Different from Finding a Supplier Ourselves?
Anyone can turn up factory candidates in a search. The hard part is telling which one will actually hold the quality and lead time it promises. Price, quality, delivery, certification and fit on site are all checked firsthand, and only suppliers worth dealing with make the shortlist we bring you.
What Kinds of Items Can You Source?
Deal viability and the scope we can manage come before the item itself. When the spec is clear and the trade holds, sourcing runs through a verified supply network. Multi-item builds like a mixed BOM are pulled together under a single point of contact.
In What Order Does Supplier Verification Happen?
Requirements and specs defined, then candidate discovery (a longlist), then on-site due diligence and technical and quality checks, then a comparison of quotes, lead times and certifications. Where it counts, factories are visited in person.
