process
Six steps to your goods.
After each step you decide whether to continue.
Request
You describe product, quantity and target market. You receive an assessment and a quote.
Search
I look for suitable manufacturers and collect quotes. You receive a shortlist with prices and minimum quantities.
Verification
Every supplier on the shortlist is checked against the checklist. You receive a report per supplier.
Samples
You review the samples and approve them. Then you order directly from the factory.
Inspection
Before shipment, an independent inspection company checks the finished goods. I coordinate the date.
Shipment
Goods are shipped preferably FOB. Your forwarder handles transport and customs.
checks
What I check for every supplier.
Platform badges such as Gold Supplier or Verified are not proof of quality. So I check myself.
Business License
Registration number and company name in the official Chinese company register.
Factory or trader
Whether the seller manufactures or resells.
Payee
The account holder must match the company name on the license. New bank details are confirmed by phone.

Samples
Samples are checked against your specification before you order.

faq
Common questions.
Do you guarantee quality, price or lead time?
No. I check documents and coordinate samples and inspection. This lowers the risk but is not a guarantee.
Who is the importer and who handles customs?
You are the importer. Order and invoice are in your company’s name, and your forwarder handles customs.
Who pays for samples and inspection?
You do, directly to the supplier or the inspection company.
What happens if the inspection fails?
You do not pay the remaining 70 % until the factory has reworked the goods and they have been inspected again.
What is the minimum order quantity?
The factory sets the minimum quantity. It is listed on the shortlist.
Do you work for companies outside Switzerland?
Yes, across the DACH region and internationally, in English or German.
