Sourcing & Buying Office from China

Your purchasing department for China.

We find the manufacturer, negotiate the price, inspect the goods at the factory and deliver duty paid to your loading dock. One contact in Munich instead of ten suppliers on WeChat.

Two ways we source for you

We decide which model fits in our first conversation. Both run through the same suppliers and the same team.

Project-based

Sourcing

You tell us what you need. We deliver it finished, inspected and customs-cleared to your address. One fixed price per unit, no effort on your side.

  • We are the importer, you get a German invoice
  • Fixed all-in unit price instead of a list of costs
  • For single products and larger projects

Frequently asked questions

From what order size does it make sense?
That depends heavily on product and quantity. The Buying Office pays off from about ten shipments a year. Just ask, we review every inquiry individually and tell you honestly whether sourcing from China makes sense for your quantity.
How do you ensure quality?
Before production, you approve a golden sample. During and after production, we inspect to AQL at the factory before the goods are loaded. Finding defects after arrival in Germany is the most expensive route, so we inspect on site.
Who is the importer and who is liable?
With sourcing, we are the importer, you get a German invoice and have a German contractual partner. With the Buying Office, you remain the importer and pay suppliers directly, and in return you see every purchase price.
How long does an order take?
That depends heavily on product, quantity and shipping method. Air or rail is faster than sea freight but costs more. You get a concrete timeline with your quote. Ahead of Chinese New Year and the Christmas season, plan well in advance.
What does an inquiry cost me?
Nothing. The first costing and the price comparison are free and non-binding. With the price comparison, you only pay if we actually beat your current price.
Can you take on individual steps only?
Yes. Some clients only need supplier sourcing, others only quality control or logistics. Tell us where you're stuck and we'll tailor the scope to it.
