A China sourcing agent is an individual or a company. Usually, they are Chinese and have lived in China for a long time. They are familiar with Chinese products and the latest company information. They can find many Chinese products and Chinese suppliers in a short time, and quickly screen high-quality products and reliable suppliers, just like you familiar with your own country.

      China sourcing agent helps purchasing companies in various countries purchase goods from China. Usually, a purchasing agent is the purchasing representative of the purchaser in China, and its main task is to be responsible for the designated/all purchasing work of the purchaser in China. It allows a person or company who has no experience in purchasing from Chinese factories, does not recognize Chinese, and has never been to China to easily find so many Chinese manufacturers/Chinese suppliers.

      Step 1: Buyers and Sourcing agent start cooperation

      Step 2: Buyer sends the purchasing requirements to the sourcing agent: product name, photo, specification, quantity, purpose, etc.

      Step 3: Sourcing agent looks for corresponding Chinese suppliers/Chinese manufacturers and obtain basic information on pre-purchased products.

      Step 4: Buyer confirms whether the product the sourcing agent is looking for meets the needs. If confirmed, the sourcing agent obtains the quotation, transaction model, stocking cycle, etc. from the supplier.

      Step 5: After negotiation, the sourcing agent helps the buyer to purchase products and arrange logistics, transportation, etc.

      If you are familiar with China, have been stay there many times, and are fluent in Chinese, you can also try to contact Chinese manufacturers yourself. You can use online websites to find information about Chinese suppliers, such as google.com, bing.com, Alibaba.com, tradepast.com, or you can fly to China to find factories. Chinese factories usually work from 8 am to 5 pm, or from 9 am to 6 pm, and are closed on weekends and holidays. If you need to purchase directly from Chinese suppliers, you need to clearly express your product requirements, including product name, product use, specifications, etc. Some factories have sales staff who know English, French, Portuguese, Thai and other languages, but many factories have sales staff who only know Chinese. You can try to communicate with them using translation software.

      Usually, there are two charging modes for purchasing agents. One is to charge a small basic fee first, and then charge a service fee of 5%-10% of the total purchase amount. The other is to charge a service fee of only 5%-10% of the total purchase amount. Each purchasing agent has its own charging standard. Some buyers prefer the first mode, which can get better service. Some buyers also prefer the second mode, which can get some purchasing information without spending money even if they have not purchased. But because the second mode does not require buyers to pay fees, agents of the second mode will face a lot of inquiries, and the service quality is usually seriously reduced.
