Find suitable manufacturers, coordinate samples, follow production processes, support factory visits and keep overseas headquarters connected through order confirmation.
Review your sourcing brief ↗THE SHORT ANSWER
From manufacturer search to a confirmed production order.
A China sourcing and supply-chain development partner acts as the working interface between an overseas company and Chinese manufacturers. Moi Trading searches for suitable factories, coordinates and provides samples, follows product specifications and production processes, keeps headquarters informed, supports factory visits and helps both sides clarify the terms and information needed to confirm an order.

CHOOSING THE RIGHT MODEL
Factories, trading companies, sourcing partners and inspection firms each have different responsibilities. A clear division of work prevents important commercial, technical and quality decisions from falling between parties.
| Partner type | Primary role | Best used for | Main consideration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Factory | Manufacture the product | Production within its own capability and processes | Its recommendations naturally reflect its equipment and commercial interest |
| Trading company | Sell and coordinate products from one or more suppliers | Consolidated purchasing or access to an established catalogue | Factory identity, margin structure and technical ownership may be less direct |
| Sourcing and development partner | Represent the buyer-side brief and coordinate the workstream | Supplier comparison, samples, tooling and documented follow-up | Scope, fees and decision responsibilities should be agreed upfront |
| Inspection or testing provider | Perform a defined independent check or test | Factory audits, inspections and laboratory verification | It verifies the assigned scope but does not own the full development process |

WHAT WE NEED FROM YOU
WHAT YOU RECEIVE
SHANGHAI BASE · CHINA REACH
Shanghai is Moi Trading's operating base and main point of accountability. Depending on the assignment, we coordinate company meetings, supplier and factory visits, trade-show work and partner follow-up in the relevant locations across China. Project coverage does not imply a permanent office in every city.
SCOPE & BOUNDARIES
Moi Trading coordinates the agreed sourcing and development work but does not present itself as the manufacturer, certification body or testing laboratory. Specialist audits, inspections, testing, engineering and regulated compliance advice are assigned to qualified third parties when needed.

When independent verification is needed, we coordinate a qualified third-party factory audit or technical assessment.
Moi Trading can document the non-conformity, communicate the issue, follow the supplier's root-cause response, corrective action, rework and new approval checkpoint. Technical acceptance and any change to the specification remain with the client or the appointed qualified specialist.
