Chinese Supplier Agreement Templates
Doing business with China is risky enough. Doing it without proper agreements in place is asking for trouble!
If you’re not using a sourcing company to help you deal with Chinese suppliers, you’ll require your own set of Agreements with the supplier to ensure they’re clear on expectations, and protect your interests.
Most suppliers prefer loose arrangements, because it minimizes their risk and liability. We recommend minimizing your risk by investing in professional Agreements.
Using proper documentation:
- Shows you’re serious about dealing with your supplier
- Creates a foundation of understanding
- Minimizes the inherent risks
Invest Once, Use Over and Over
For the first time ever, ChinaDirect are making available the Agreements that we’ve used to successfully import from scores of suppliers.
You’ll avoid paying thousands of dollars to solicitors who may not be specialists in International trade with China, and owning these Agreements is like cheap insurance. Also, once you’ve bought them once, you can use them over and over.
We supply them in both Word document format (for easy editing), and PDF format, so you’ve always got the original template.
And to reduce the chance of misunderstandings, all templates are written in English AND Chinese for extra protection.
Save your time and money by using proper Agreements, and don’t become another Chinese importing ‘horror story’.
Sample Making Agreement - Get The RIGHT Sample From The Supplier

Non-Disclosure Agreement - Protect Your Intellectual Property
There are many ways to reduce the chance of Intellectual Property (IP) infringement.
Before revealing confidential information to your supplier, you can have them sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement.
This agreement restricts the supplier from copying your idea, or revealing that they are the manufacturer of your product. E.g. using images of your product on their website etc

Purchase Order Agreement - Document Your Agreed Supply Arrangement
When you’ve...
- Found a supplier;
- Are satisfied they’re reputable, and
- Received a sample to your satisfaction
...you’re now ready to negotiate the terms and conditions of the supply arrangement.
This will be formalized in a document called a Purchase Order Agreement, covering everything concerning your purchase, and remedies if things don’t go to plan.
The ChinaDirect Sourcing Services Purchase Order Agreement is tried and proven to greatly improve the chances of getting the correct product delivered to the right location, on time.
It includes clauses for Quality Control Procedures, Terms of Payment, Moulds Ownership, Packaging Requirements and penalties for Quality Issues and Delivery Delays, amongst others.
To purchase an agreement like this could cost you hundreds or thousands of dollars in solicitors fees, if you could find a lawyer specialised in International Trade with China.
But the real value lies in the costly pitfalls it will help you avoid.

Supplier Self Assessment - Ensure Product Quality BEFORE Shipment!
The Supplier Self Assessment outlines all your standards for product quality, against which the supplier will judge himself.

Then have your supplier complete the form and fax it to you, prior to shipping goods, so you can approve it, or not approve it, prior the shipment.
