Buyer problem
Why this service needs control
The most common sourcing problem is not finding one supplier contact. It is finding commercially relevant product and supplier options, comparing price, MOQ, quality, packaging, lead time and risk, then managing the China-side execution.
!A sourcing project must be sufficiently qualified before active research begins. Product references or specifications, quantity per SKU, target price or acceptable range, destination and key requirements help determine which suppliers and product versions are commercially relevant.
!Multi-SKU and multi-supplier orders create operational risk when quotations, samples, deposits, supplier communication, delivery dates, carton marks, warehouse receipts and consolidation are not tracked together.
!UYiwu is not a marketplace or universal China product catalogue. We source against a commercial requirement rather than provide unlimited free product recommendations or open-ended supplier research.

Limits and trust
What we control and what must be checked
Managed Sourcing is currently priced at 7% of product value with a minimum service fee of USD 500 per project. The exact included scope is confirmed before paid work starts.
iIf you already have exact product or supplier links, clear specifications and quantity, Purchasing Support may be more suitable at 5% of product value with a minimum USD 300 per purchasing batch.
iInitial request review is free and is used to confirm project fit and the correct service route. Active supplier search, product research, supplier outreach, quotation collection and negotiation are paid sourcing work.
iThere is no fixed minimum goods order value, but minimum service fees mean very small sourcing projects may not be economically practical.
iGoods, samples, China domestic delivery, laboratory testing, detailed inspections, special packaging, international logistics and other third-party costs are separate unless explicitly included.
iBasic warehouse receiving does not equal detailed product inspection. Inspection depth, unit counting, testing and specialist compliance review must be separately agreed when required.
iSupplier certificates and documents can be requested and reviewed, but supplier PDFs alone do not justify unconditional guarantees of destination-market compliance.
Service fit
Yiwu sourcing agent or Yiwu Market purchasing?
The sourcing-agent pillar covers a managed buyer-side project across Yiwu markets, factories, industrial clusters and Chinese wholesale platforms. Yiwu Market Purchasing is the narrower child service for buying and coordinating products specifically from Yiwu market stores and booths.
Fees and scope
Managed sourcing fees and project qualification
Managed Sourcing is 7% of product value with a minimum service fee of USD 500 per project. The initial request review is free, but active product or supplier research, supplier outreach, quotation collection and negotiation are sourcing work. There is no fixed minimum goods value; however, the minimum service fee may make very small projects uneconomical. If the buyer already has exact product or supplier links, clear specifications and quantity, the simpler Purchasing Support route may apply at 5% of product value with a minimum USD 300 per purchasing batch. Goods, samples, domestic delivery, testing, detailed inspections, special packaging, international logistics and other third-party costs remain separate unless explicitly included.
