China sourcing
A sourcing assignment begins with the product, quantity, target cost, timing and destination requirements. Potential suppliers are compared against the same brief so the shortlist reflects fit rather than whoever answered first.
Supplier verification
Verification connects the commercial identity to the registered company, operating address and available capability evidence. Desk checks and site work are separated so the buyer can see how each conclusion was reached.
Factory audits
A factory audit examines the systems behind the quotation, including process flow, equipment, capacity, quality controls and records. The scope can be general or technical depending on the product risk.
Product quality control
Quality control turns drawings, specifications, approved references and defect rules into checks that can be repeated during production. It works best when requirements are defined before finished goods are waiting to ship.
Pre-shipment inspection
When finished goods are ready, pre-shipment inspection gives the buyer a documented view of quantity, workmanship, function, packaging and identified defects before the release decision.
How the process works
The buyer team moves from brief to scope, evidence and decision. No fieldwork begins until the location, checks, timing, deliverable, fee and limitations are approved in writing.
Report structure
Reports connect the approved scope to photographs, records, findings, limitations and a clear result. The structure changes with the service, but the decision trail remains visible.
Industries covered
Electronics, furniture and homeware, textiles and apparel, industrial components and other products require different checklists and specialists. Product fit is confirmed before the assignment is accepted.
Common questions
Questions worth answering before you start.
Practical answers about china sourcing and quality assurance for international buyers, its scope and the decisions clients need to make before work begins.
01Does an inspection guarantee the whole shipment?
No. An inspection covers the agreed scope and may use sampling. It records conditions at a particular place and time, helping you make a better decision without replacing your own commercial or legal responsibilities.
02Can SilkVanta work with a supplier I already found?
Yes. We can begin with desk verification, an on-site visit, a factory audit or a product inspection depending on what you need to establish.
03When should I contact the Buyer Assurance team?
The earlier the better. Supplier verification belongs before a deposit, quality planning belongs before production, and a pre-shipment inspection should be booked before the final balance or shipment decision.
04Will the supplier know who requested the check?
On-site work normally requires coordination with the supplier. Desk verification can often begin with the information you provide. Confidentiality and disclosure requirements are agreed before work starts.
