Product Sourcing
Assisted Direct Purchasing
Businesses of all sizes can now reap the benefits of importing directly from China… previously only enjoyed by large corporations and multi-national companies.
If you don’t seriously investigate the benefits of sourcing your products in China, you can be reasonably certain your competitors will. You may already be buying products manufactured in China from your current suppliers, but after they have marked them up to 10 times. ChinaDirect minimises the risks of sourcing in China by choosing reputable trade partners and using stringent systems to ensure product quality.
We will:
- Tender your product out
- Validate on potential suppliers
- Present you with samples
- Negotiate prices on your behalf
- Perform quality checks
- Arrange delivery to your door
We have the contacts, systems, people, and resources to source you the best deal in China. Do our complimentary Feasibility Check to find out if your product and the quantity is feasible to source direct from China.
Custom Manufacturing
If your product doesn’t exist in China and you need to get it specially manufactured, give us detailed specifications, and we’ll research and locate a suitable manufacturer.
We can use confidentiality agreements and other measures to help protect your valuable intellectual property.
ChinaDirect will manage the whole manufacturing project, including arranging samples to be manufactured, negotiations, quality control, and logistics.

At inspection, our inspectors check the available quantity and then take samples based on the internationally recognized statistical random sampling technique, commonly known as ANSI/ASQC Z1.4, BS 6001-1, and ISO 2859-1. Inspectors will verify quantity, style, color, workmanship, size, packing, and shipping mark. To ensure that the merchandise meets the contract specifications or conforms to the approved sample.
