Transparency beats margin
Itemized quotes, disclosed service fees, real factory names on request. We'd rather win a comparison than hide from one.
About us · Guangzhou, China
We started because importing alone is brutal
SourcChina began in 2014 as a two-person team in Guangzhou helping a American retailer rescue an order gone wrong. Ten years and 2,000+ projects later, the mission hasn't changed: be the person on the ground we wish every overseas buyer had.
Our story
Ten years on the factory floor
Our founder spent her first years in trade working inside a Guangzhou factory — watching buyer after buyer get burned by middlemen posing as manufacturers, inflated "factory" quotes, and shipments nobody inspected until the container doors opened.
So we built the agency we would have wanted on the other side of the table: bilingual engineers who walk factory floors, insist on documented evidence for every claim, and quote transparently enough to be worth comparing.
Today we're a team of sourcing agents, QC engineers and logistics specialists across Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Yiwu — serving buyers in 30+ countries, from first-time importers to brands running monthly container programs.
What we believe
Four rules we don't bend
These aren't wall posters — they're the operating constraints of every project we take.
Evidence over assurances
Every claim a supplier makes gets verified — license, capacity, quality — with photos, documents and data you can inspect.
Your IP stays yours
NDAs before files move, need-to-know distribution, no sharing designs across clients. Our reputation is our supply chain.
Say no early
If a product can't hit your target price honestly, or a supplier is a risk, we tell you before you spend — not after.
Clear positioning
What we are — and aren't
Importers often meet two extremes: giant consultancies too expensive for SMEs, or one-man "agents" with a phone and a WeChat account. We sit deliberately in between — big enough to be accountable, small enough to care.
- A sourcing agency — your representative in China, paid to be on your side
- A domestic buyer in the factory’s eyes — we pay local ex-works rates, not the inflated “overseas client” price, and pass that number straight through to you
- A Chinese legal entity — we hold enforceable contracts with suppliers in their own jurisdiction, something no overseas buyer can do alone
- On the ground — real offices, real inspectors, real factory visits, escrow-protected payments
- Not a trading company reselling you goods at a hidden markup — we add zero to your unit price and charge one disclosed fee
- Not a marketplace middleman passing your order to whoever pays
- Not the cheapest quote on paper — the most honest one landed

QC goes in-house
We stopped outsourcing inspections and hired our own engineers — evidence became our default.

Yiwu & Shenzhen desks
Coverage expanded to the two clusters our buyers needed most: small commodities and electronics.

Today
5,000+ verified factories
2,000+ projects delivered to 30+ countries — and still small enough that the founder reads your first email.
