Templates & Resources
The paperwork that keeps
your China order safe.
Manufacturing agreements, NDAs, purchase orders, supplier and quality checklists, and an Incoterms reference. The same documents we put in front of factories on live orders, shaped by 20+ years of cross-border sourcing. Request access and we will share what fits your project.
Sourcing from China
is a paperwork problem.
The savings are real. So is the risk when there is nothing in writing. Most of the trouble Australian builders and developers hit on a first order traces back to a document that was never signed. These templates close those gaps before money moves.
Verbal deals do not hold
A WeChat message and a handshake are not a contract. When specs slip or a deposit goes missing, you need written terms a factory has already signed.
Your design walks out the door
Share drawings without an NDA and there is nothing stopping a factory selling your product to the next buyer. Lock confidentiality before you send a single file.
Quality is checked too late
Most defects are caught on the wharf in Australia, when it is already expensive to fix. A pre-shipment checklist moves that inspection back to the factory floor.
Seven resources.
One safer first order.
Each one is request-only. Tell us what you are sourcing and we will share the documents that apply, with guidance on how to use them.
Manufacturing Agreement
A full production contract covering specifications, pricing, lead times, payment milestones, defect liability, and what happens if the order goes wrong.
Use before placing any sizeable or repeat order with a factory.
Request thisMutual NDA
A two-way non-disclosure agreement that protects your designs, drawings, and commercial terms before you share them with a supplier.
Send this first, before any files or samples leave your hands.
Request thisPurchase Order Template
A clean, factory-ready PO that pins down quantity, specification, Incoterms, currency, and delivery so nothing is left to interpretation.
Use on every order to confirm exactly what you agreed to buy.
Request thisSupplier Assessment Checklist
A structured scorecard for vetting a factory: export history, certifications, capacity, references, and the red flags that signal a trading company posing as a maker.
Run before you commit to a supplier you have not worked with.
Request thisQuality Inspection Checklist
A pre-shipment inspection sheet built around AQL sampling, so defects are caught at the factory rather than on the wharf in Australia.
Hand to your inspector before goods are packed and shipped.
Request thisIncoterms Quick-Reference Guide
A plain-English breakdown of FOB, CIF, EXW, DDP, and the rest. Who pays, who carries the risk, and where each handover happens.
Keep on hand whenever you are negotiating freight and terms.
Request this"Import from China" eBook
Lindy Chen's book, “Import from China: How to Make a Million and Not Get Burnt.” The playbook behind the templates, from a QLD Government-appointed mentor and Gold Stevie Award winner.
Read first if importing from China is new ground for you.
