China Buying Toolbox

China Buying Request Checklist

Prepare the information that makes a China buying request easier to act on without turning a simple order into paperwork.

Choose the type of request

You do not need every field before you ask

A personal order can start with one product link. A custom sourcing project needs more detail because otherwise suppliers may quote different products.

Good information reduces unnecessary back-and-forth

The checklist is a preparation aid, not a gatekeeper. Send what you know and clearly mark what still needs to be confirmed.
