Choose a China sourcing agent by matching the register name to the contract and bank payee, then comparing written scope and release authority.
What a China sourcing agent does on the order file, which decisions stay with the buyer, and how to test that split before a larger order.
Plan a pre-shipment inspection in China: choose the timing, define defects and AQL sampling, require useful evidence, and control rework before final payment.
Match sealed cartons to the live US Amazon shipment before they leave China: box limits, one label per carton, and a named importer.
Build a practical QC plan for China orders: define defects, approve a reference sample, choose inspection stages, use AQL correctly, and control failed lots.
Calculate landed cost for a China order: add each charge once to the same warehouse, then divide by units received. Confirm duty on its own customs value.
