Pricing & fees

HOW MUCH DOES A
CHINA SOURCING AGENT COST?

The cost of a sourcing agent in China depends on the order value, the number of suppliers and the services required. Before we start, you'll know exactly what I'll manage, what it will cost and what's included.

🤝

Transparency is my priority: I don't promise what I can't deliver, I don't take on projects that aren't a good fit, and I set out in writing exactly what work each proposal includes. The aim is to build long-term relationships, not close a deal at any cost.

Practical guide

GUIDE TO BUYING FROM CHINA
WITH A SOURCING AGENT

How a sourcing agent in China works, what you should check before paying and which decisions can make the difference to your import.

What a China sourcing agent actually does

A sourcing agent in China handles the whole process of buying or manufacturing your product: finding the right factory, negotiating price and terms, verifying that everything matches what was agreed, and coordinating delivery to Spain without surprises. It's not just "someone who speaks Chinese" — it's someone who understands how the market really works and knows the warning signs before you move a single euro.

Working with an agent who speaks your language — not an intermediary auto-translating your messages — is the difference between closing a good deal and finding out too late that the quality, packaging or lead time weren't what you expected.

How to choose a sourcing agent →

DDP, FOB or CIF: which Incoterm suits you

Choosing the right Incoterm significantly changes the real cost of your import:

  • FOB (Free On Board): the supplier delivers the goods to the Chinese port; shipping, insurance and customs from there on are on you.
  • CIF (Cost, Insurance and Freight): includes sea freight and insurance to the destination port; customs clearance is still yours.
  • DDP (Delivered Duty Paid): everything included — shipping, insurance, duties and customs — with the goods delivered to your own company.

Picking the wrong Incoterm is one of the most common ways to end up overpaying without realising it.

View Incoterms and import terms →

Supplier verification: where the real risk lies

Not everything you see on Alibaba, 1688 or Taobao is what it seems. Many suppliers pay the platform itself for a "verified" badge that guarantees nothing real. Before recommending a supplier, I check:

  • That the company legally exists and has real production capacity — not just a trader dressed up as a factory.
  • That the certificates it shows are actually theirs, still valid, and not for a different product.
  • Its real history and reputation within the Chinese market, not just what its own website claims.
How to check a supplier and agent →

Licences, regulations and CE marking

Depending on the product — for example toys, machinery, and certain electrical or electronic equipment — specific European requirements may apply before it can be placed on the market. A CE logo printed on the product does not by itself prove actual conformity: you need to check which legislation applies, the conformity documentation, the tests and the traceability required in each case.

That is why I do not just check the symbol printed on the product. Before manufacturing or purchasing, I check with the supplier what documentation exists and which requirements need to be addressed for the destination market. For regulated categories, final validation should be carried out by the relevant professional or competent body where appropriate.

View labelling guide for imported products →

Custom manufacturing: OEM and ODM

If you have your own product idea, there are two routes:

  • OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer): we build a product designed by you, from scratch.
  • ODM (Original Design Manufacturer): we start from an existing product and customise it (improvements, packaging, private label) so you can sell it as your own.

I help you decide which one fits your budget and volume best, and manage samples before moving to production.

Why work with me instead of going it alone

You can try buying directly on Alibaba, 1688 or Taobao yourself — plenty of people do. The problem usually isn't finding a product, but everything around the purchase: verifying the supplier is real, understanding which regulations apply, choosing the right Incoterm, and making sure what arrives is exactly what you ordered.

I'm based in China, I speak the language, and I handle every one of those points for you, with full transparency about what I do and what it costs.
