01

We live inside the China ecosystem

BORN International is not searching the market from outside. Our network of 100+ invested and connected companies gives us long-term visibility into Chinese enterprises, technologies and management teams.

02

We verify, not just forward

Any supplier can be found on Alibaba. What's hard is knowing which one is real, capable, export-ready and commercially reliable. We do the verification work so you don't have to.

03

We negotiate, not just quote

We don't simply relay supplier quotes. We engage Chinese manufacturers on price, MOQ, payment terms, territorial rights, after-sales and technical specifications — and we negotiate on your behalf.

04

We go from purchase to partnership

Our highest value is not finding one factory. It's helping you upgrade a single purchase into exclusive distribution, regional authorization, long-term supply agreements or strategic cooperation.

Finding a supplier is easy.
Finding the right one is not.

Eight verification dimensions that reduce the risk of working with a Chinese manufacturer for the first time.

Verification on the ground Documents are checked. Production reality is checked too.

Legal status, certifications and export records matter, but technical fit, capacity and factory conditions must also stand up to direct inspection.

Legal Entity

Company registration, ownership, operating status, registered address.

Manufacturing

Own factory vs. trading, production lines, capacity, R&D capability.

Certification

ISO, CE, EAC, GMP and industry-specific qualifications review.

Export Experience

Overseas markets, export track record, customer structure.

Technical Fit

Parameters, materials, technology route, testing and validation.

Commercial

Pricing, MOQ, payment terms, lead time, after-sales conditions.

Risk Flags

Abnormally low prices, middlemen, entity mismatch, certificate risks.

Factory Visit

On-site inspection and video factory audits when required.

On the ground in China.

Factory visits, technical meetings, supplier negotiations and delegations — real execution, not just introductions.

Questions we hear often.

How does BORN charge for China Access services?
Our engagement model depends on the project scope. For sourcing and verification projects, we typically work on a project fee basis. For exclusive distribution and strategic partnership negotiations, we may work on a success fee or a combination of retainer and success fee. We always discuss pricing transparently before any work begins — no hidden commissions, no undisclosed supplier kickbacks.
Can you guarantee exclusive distribution rights in my country?
We cannot guarantee exclusive rights — that decision ultimately rests with the manufacturer. What we can do is assess the feasibility, help you structure a compelling market commitment, design the negotiation strategy, and represent or support you in the negotiation. The final authorization depends on commercial terms, purchase commitments, market capability and the manufacturer's own strategy.
Is my information kept confidential?
Absolutely. Confidentiality is a core principle of our work. We are happy to sign NDAs before receiving sensitive information. Your specifications, pricing, target markets and business strategy are never shared with third parties without your explicit consent. We treat client information with the same care we would expect for our own.
How long does a typical sourcing project take?
For a standard product sourcing request, initial research and shortlisting typically takes 1–2 weeks. Full verification, comparison and negotiation support can take 3–6 weeks depending on complexity. Custom machinery, medical devices and regulated products may take longer due to certification review and technical discussions. We always provide a timeline estimate after reviewing your specific requirement.
Do you actually visit factories in China?
Yes. Our China-based team conducts on-site factory visits when the project requires it. We also offer video factory audits for initial screening. A factory visit is particularly recommended for high-value equipment, custom manufacturing, or when you need to verify production capacity and quality control systems firsthand.
