Practical answers before you begin

FAQ

Clear expectations make better sourcing projects. Here are answers to the questions buyers ask us most often.

Is PN Sourcing a legitimate sourcing company?

PN Sourcing operates as an independent sourcing service provider. Before engaging any agent, buyers should review its company registration, written service scope, payment instructions, references, and contractual terms. We provide relevant business information during onboarding and confirm every paid scope in writing.

How do I start a sourcing project?

Send us your product description or links, specifications, target quantity, destination country, budget range, and desired timeline. We first assess feasibility, identify missing information, and then propose the most suitable service scope and next steps.

How are your service fees calculated?

Pricing depends on the work required. A project may use a fixed fee, a percentage of purchasing value, an inspection or consolidation fee, or a combination. You receive a written quotation explaining inclusions, exclusions, and payment milestones before paid work begins.

Do I always need a China sourcing agent?

Not necessarily. Experienced buyers with a trusted factory, strong Mandarin capability, and robust quality controls may manage directly. An agent is most valuable when you need supplier discovery, multi-factory coordination, product development, independent verification, quality inspection, or local issue resolution.

Can I send multiple product links for purchasing?

Yes. We support multi-product and multi-supplier requests, including links from 1688, Alibaba, Taobao, or factory websites. Please organize links with required quantities, variations, specifications, and priority. We will confirm which items are feasible before quoting.

Which product categories do you specialize in?

Our strongest fit is consumer goods, home and kitchen products, packaging, promotional merchandise, accessories, retail supplies, hospitality items, and light OEM or private-label projects. Highly regulated, hazardous, medical, chemical, aerospace, or technically complex products require specialist review and may fall outside our scope.

Can you work with suppliers we already have?

Yes. We can verify and coordinate nominated suppliers, negotiate commercial details, monitor production, inspect goods, consolidate orders, and arrange shipping. The exact responsibilities are documented so there is no overlap or ambiguity.

How do you help protect payments?

We verify supplier details, confirm payment instructions through agreed channels, document order terms, and recommend milestone-based payments where appropriate. No cross-border transaction is risk-free, so buyers should independently approve beneficiaries and never act on an unexpected bank-detail change without verification.

Can you guarantee product quality and delivery dates?

No responsible sourcing partner can guarantee every manufacturing outcome. We reduce risk through written specifications, approved samples, production follow-up, inspection checkpoints, and early escalation. Final acceptance criteria and remedies should also be included in the supplier agreement.

Can PN Sourcing act as the importer of record or use our EORI number?

Importer-of-record responsibilities depend on the destination, product, shipping terms, and local regulations. Your EORI or tax identifier should only be used with your authorization and correct customs documentation. We can coordinate with freight and customs professionals, but legal and tax responsibility must be confirmed for each shipment.
