Local teams in Yiwu, Guangzhou & Shenzhen. We source, verify, inspect, purchase, consolidate, and ship from China — for importers in 40+ countries.
Tiger Sourcing China is the sourcing division of the Tiger Eurasia supply chain network — a group of companies connecting global buyers to China's manufacturing ecosystem. We were founded to solve a single problem: helping international importers source safely, efficiently, and affordably from China without the risks of going it alone.
Our on-the-ground teams are based in Yiwu, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen — three of China's most important sourcing hubs. This physical presence means we can visit factories, conduct audits, oversee production, and handle logistics coordination that remote buyers simply cannot do from thousands of kilometres away.
We serve importers across 40+ countries and offer full support in English, Russian, and Chinese — making us the preferred partner for buyers across Europe, the Middle East, Central Asia, and beyond.
Without local expertise and on-the-ground presence, sourcing from China carries serious risks. Here's what most importers face — and how we solve them.
Trading companies pose as manufacturers. Advance payments disappear. Without physical verification, buyers have no way to confirm a supplier is real or financially stable.
Products look perfect in samples but arrive substandard at scale. Without pre-shipment inspections and in-line QC, quality issues are only discovered after it's too late.
Supplier English is often limited. Misunderstood specifications lead to wrong products, wasted production runs, and expensive re-orders from scratch.
Managing Chinese suppliers remotely means no factory visits, no relationship building, and no ability to resolve problems quickly when they arise on the production floor.
Navigating Chinese export documentation, customs requirements, freight options, and incoterms without guidance leads to costly delays, fines, and shipment failures.
Foreign buyers without local market knowledge and negotiation experience consistently pay 20–40% above fair factory prices, eroding their import margins significantly.

We search China's entire manufacturing landscape — including 1688, Alibaba, trade fairs, and our private factory network — to find the right supplier for your product. Every lead is cross-checked and qualified before presentation.

Real results from real importers who trusted Tiger Sourcing China to source, verify, and deliver.
A Moscow-based fashion retailer was overpaying by sourcing through Alibaba intermediaries. We identified verified factories in Guangzhou, negotiated direct contracts, and reduced their per-unit costs by 40% across 15 SKUs.
A UK-based Amazon FBA seller was shipping from six Shenzhen suppliers individually. We consolidated all goods in our Shenzhen warehouse and shipped as a single container, reducing freight costs by 35% and cutting delivery time to 8 days.
A Dubai-based cosmetics brand was about to wire $80,000 to a Guangzhou supplier that our audit team found to be a trading company with falsified manufacturing certificates. We identified the real factory, negotiated better terms, and saved the client from fraud.
"We were sourcing from Alibaba and constantly getting burned by middlemen. Tiger Sourcing found us direct factories in Guangzhou, cut our costs by 40%, and our quality complaints went to zero. Highly recommended."
"Their factory audit literally saved our business. We were about to send $80,000 to what turned out to be a fraudulent trading company. Tiger Sourcing found the fraud, found the real factory, and we got exactly what we needed."
"I ship from six Shenzhen suppliers and Tiger Sourcing consolidates everything in their warehouse. My freight costs dropped 35% immediately and my Amazon stock never runs out. Best sourcing decision I've made."
Our China-based team responds to all enquiries within 24 hours — usually much faster.
Yes. We actively use both 1688 (China's domestic B2B marketplace) and Alibaba to find and identify potential suppliers. However, unlike sourcing platforms, we don't just send you a list of links — we contact suppliers directly in Chinese, request factory credentials, cross-reference their registered business information, and conduct physical factory visits before making any recommendation. This process filters out trading companies, verifies production capacity, and confirms pricing at factory level.
Factory verification involves three layers: first, a document check of the supplier's business licence, export licence, and any relevant certifications. Second, we cross-reference their registered address and legal entity information in China's national business registry. Third, our team physically visits the factory, inspects the production floor, meets the management team, photographs equipment and capacity, and interviews workers. You receive a full written report with photos within 3–5 business days of the visit.
Our pre-shipment inspection covers quantity verification (counting all units), visual quality checks (defects, finishing, colour accuracy), functional testing where applicable, packaging assessment, label and barcode verification, and carton measurement for accurate freight calculations. You receive a detailed inspection report with 50–100 photos before we authorise the factory to ship. If we find issues, we hold the shipment and negotiate resolution with the factory on your behalf.
Absolutely. OEM and ODM customisation is one of our most popular services. We manage the entire process: factory identification with custom manufacturing capability, NDA signing, sample development, packaging design coordination, compliance and safety testing sourcing, production oversight, and final QC. Whether you need your logo on an existing product (OEM) or want to develop a product from scratch (ODM), our Guangzhou and Shenzhen teams handle the full process.
Yes — factory visit accompaniment is a core part of our China Business Travel service. Our team will schedule factory appointments before your arrival, accompany you to each visit, provide professional translation in Chinese and English (or Russian), help you evaluate the factory objectively, and assist with price negotiations and order placement. We also arrange hotel, transport, and market tours in Yiwu International Trade City, Guangzhou Canton Fair, and Shenzhen tech markets.
Yes. Through our Tiger Eurasia logistics network, we coordinate full export documentation, freight booking (FCL/LCL sea freight, air freight, express courier), cargo insurance, and customs clearance. We work with trusted freight forwarders for deliveries to Europe, Russia, CIS countries, the Middle East, and beyond. For buyers needing Russia or Central Asia logistics specifically, we connect you with Tiger Logistics Russia, our dedicated CIS freight specialist.
There is no strict minimum order value for our sourcing and consulting services. However, for manufacturing orders (OEM/ODM and bulk production), Chinese factories typically have their own MOQ requirements — which we help you navigate and negotiate. For smaller buyers, we often recommend starting with consolidated shipments or sourcing from Yiwu's wholesale markets, where smaller quantities are more accessible. Contact us with your requirements and we'll advise on the most practical approach for your scale.
