All Yiwu Sourcing Guides & Articles

Choose a reading path for the decision in front of you: planning a Yiwu visit, checking a supplier, approving an order or arranging shipment. The complete, automatically updated article list remains below.

1. Plan your first Yiwu order

Start with the Yiwu sourcing workflow, then use the market district guide to identify the product areas to visit. Prepare a product list with quantities, reference images and destination requirements before comparing quotations.

2. Compare products and suppliers

A similar photograph is not a specification. Record the material, dimensions, finish, packaging and intended use you need suppliers to quote against. Keep sample approval and bulk-order requirements in writing so differences remain visible when comparing offers.

Use the product sourcing enquiry checklist to prepare the information required.

3. Agree costs and payment before ordering

Read Chineseyiwu procurement fees and the quote checklist alongside the Yiwu supplier payment guide. Compare product costs, the service fee, inspection, freight and other applicable charges separately. Confirm the contracting party, payment stages and what happens if a sample or inspection fails before paying.

4. Set inspection requirements

Use the quality control checklist to identify what must be checked against an approved sample or specification. Define the inspection scope, acceptance criteria, evidence and discrepancy process before dispatch. Inspection is not a substitute for product certification or laboratory testing.

See factory inspection and buyer-appointed inspection services for the service scope to discuss.

5. Prepare collection and shipment

Gather the cargo description, supplier collection points, carton quantities, dimensions, weight and destination. Agree packing requirements, the delivery term and who handles each transport and customs responsibility. Confirm the route and charges for your actual goods rather than assuming a general delivery promise covers them.

Use the shipping and consolidation enquiry checklist before requesting a shipment quote.

6. Prepare a private-label enquiry

Separate the existing product from the changes you want: logo, artwork, packaging, materials or product design. Identify which requirements are fixed and which need a sample or supplier capability check. Agree who approves the sample and artwork before bulk production.

See the private-label and OEM service scope, or send your product and service requirements.
