Product Sourcing from China: What to Prepare

Product sourcing is easier to discuss when the request is specific. Before contacting a sourcing company, prepare enough information for potential supply options to be compared against your actual needs.

Describe the product and its purpose

Provide the product name, category and intended application. Reference photos, drawings or specification sheets can help explain what you have in mind, particularly when seeking a product that is not yet listed in a catalogue.

Specify essential features

List dimensions, materials, electrical requirements, capacity, finishes, packaging or other product-specific requirements where relevant. Separate the essential features from preferences that could be flexible.

State the required quantity

Share your estimated order quantity and whether future repeat purchases are anticipated. An initial small batch and a large commercial order may require different sourcing discussions.

Include the destination and timing

Tell the sourcing team where the goods would need to be delivered and whether there is an important target date. Timing and delivery feasibility can only be evaluated after product and supply details are reviewed.

Ask about the commercial next steps

Enquire about available options, samples where appropriate, specifications, documentation, delivery terms and the information needed to prepare a quotation. Do not assume a particular price or lead time until confirmed.
