Why Standard Purchasing Schemes in China No Longer Work?

Since October 2025, Chinese authorities have tightened control over export operations

Chinese Counterpart Without an Export License
Most factories in wholesale markets and Chinese marketplaces do not have the right to export
Difficulties with Money Transfers
Payment under a direct contract to the factory requires an export declaration for official export from China 
Documents for Export from China
Besides the contract, invoice, and packing list,
an export declaration for the goods is also required
Need to Change Current Factories
It becomes necessary to replace factories with suppliers holding export licenses and under new conditions
Under the new requirements, many entrepreneurs and companies face the need to restructure established partnerships with factories with a history of cooperation, renegotiate deals with new manufacturers on new terms, rebuild supply chains, and form new logistics routes, which naturally increases the cost of imports from China and affects business competitiveness.

We not only handle payments and export documentation, but also conduct negotiations, control all production, packaging, labeling, and shipping processes; check product and raw material quality. So that “red” items don’t accidentally arrive instead of green ones.

Service Completion Time

from 6 to 15 days
depends on the project
The timing depends on the list of required documentation within the project scope, the destination country and method of cargo delivery, as well as customs clearance and taxation specifics.

We arrange export for many products. But, honestly, not for everything

You can buy absolutely anything in China. And we can organize official export for almost everything. We reserve the right to refuse a deal if your goods are prohibited for official export from China.
Also, the organization of documents for official export from China is not suitable for all countries worldwide, so when coordinating, we clarify the destination country and type of transport.

Products we cannot assist with:

Military and dual-use goods – this area is not handled.
Medical products and dietary supplements – please contact specialized suppliers with the appropriate licenses.
Branded electronics – sales in different countries are protected by dealership systems, and without vendor consent, such goods cannot be customs cleared.
Brand replicas and copies – these products always cause logistics issues and are hardly found in China anymore.

What advantages does an export agent offer to businesses in China?

Key reasons to choose the official import scheme at domestic prices

Access to China’s domestic prices

Purchase on 1688 and other Chinese marketplaces, wholesale markets, or directly from factories at partner prices “for insiders,” not inflated export price lists

Reduced risk of payment blocking

Eliminate risks of payment blocks, factories refusing to ship without RMB payment, or financial monitoring during payments

Full legality of transactions

Receive a complete document package (customs declaration, invoice, packing list, contract) tailored specifically for your export project

Versatile payment handling

Your Chinese counterpart receives their yuan in the most convenient and cost-effective way for you (to card, legal entity account, AliPay) within PRC jurisdiction and by agreement, while you pay us officially from your legal entity or as an individual using fintech services
