HOW IT WORKS

How it works

Start with what you know. We review your product, timing and preferred support, then define a practical scope for the work that follows.

01 / START WITH YOUR BRIEF

Bring the details you have.

Tell us about the product, quantity, target price and timing you have in mind. It is fine if some details are still undecided. Your brief gives us a starting point for discussing the category, destination market and support needed.

  • Product requirements and specifications
  • Quantity, target price and timeline
  • Remote support or interest in a China visit

02 / AGREE THE SCOPE

Know what the engagement includes.

We review whether the request fits the available coverage and support. Before work begins, the proposal should set out the agreed deliverables, service fees, third-party expenses and expected schedule.

  • Supplier research, visits or order support as required
  • The number and depth of agreed activities
  • Responsibilities for travel, inspection or freight providers

03 / MOVE FORWARD WITH SUPPORT

Make the next decisions with local help.

Once the scope is agreed, the work can move into supplier research, conversations, visits or follow-up. Any checks are reported with the scope completed, source and date; an initial check is not a guarantee of product quality or future supplier performance.

Start with your brief.

Share your product, timing and the support you need.
