China sourcing agent, factories, MOQ and QC without guessing
A China sourcing agent is more than an Alibaba chat. A broker in a mailbox is not a team on the floor. Papillon is a company registered in Hong Kong. We visit factories, check capacity, negotiate MOQ (minimum order quantity) and price, run samples and coordinate quality control (QC) before shipment. The goal is a verified supplier and a predictable landed cost.
What a serious sourcing process includes
Start with a brief: specification, target price, quantity, packing, certificates and date. Then research: platforms, fairs, clusters.
A shortlist of 3–5 then goes through RFQ, comparison and verification. A factory visit or a documented audit is the filter.
MOQ, samples and talks on site
MOQ is often negotiable with a repeat plan. A team on the ground can agree a trial run against a follow-up order.
Samples are approved before mass production. Label, pack and colour changes belong in the purchase order.
Europe-ready briefs
Put CE, RoHS or other market marks in the first RFQ when they apply. Do not discover them at customs.
