How to prepare a China sourcing request
A clear buying brief helps distinguish supplier discovery, quotation comparison and order execution. State the product, quantities, destination and acceptance requirements.
How to prepare a China sourcing request
Advice: use a clear buying brief to distinguish supplier discovery, quotation comparison and order execution. Separate mandatory requirements from preferences so suppliers can quote comparable items.
- Product: reference image or specification, materials, dimensions, variants and intended use.
- Quantity: quantities by item and variant, including any trial order.
- Delivery: destination and required arrival window.
- Packaging: packaging, labeling and customization requirements.
- Market requirements: required testing or documents for the destination market.
Set acceptance and verification requirements
A matching product page or potential supplier is a starting point. A catalogue listing is not proof of stock, compliance or successful delivery.
- Advice: specify sample approval and inspection criteria before committing to a larger order.
- Advice: check actual specifications, availability, quotation terms and agreed verification steps.
Compare options and agree responsibilities
