Frequently asked questions
Direct answers about China sourcing and our free report. We do not publish a buyer fee schedule or commission percentages on this site — start with the free sourcing report, then approve any later step before it is charged.
How to find a reliable sourcing agent in China?↓
Pick an agent that names a real legal company, explains what is free vs what happens next, and can show how they verify suppliers. Haopin Global is operated by 上海好品全球科技有限公司, a subsidiary of 好品控股 (Haopin Holdings). Start with a free sourcing report on trade.haopinglobal.com.
How much does a China sourcing agent charge?↓
Start with our free sourcing report — factory options and reference pricing — before any deal. We do not publish a buyer fee ladder or commission %; we earn on closed deals and those terms are not shown to buyers on this site. We work buyer-side: no supplier kickbacks or hidden markups that inflate your price.
What is included in a free sourcing report?↓
Matched suppliers, reference pricing/MOQ, and timelines — usually within 24 hours. It does not automatically include sampling, audits, or production management.
How do you avoid hidden markups with sourcing agents?↓
Use a buyer-side agent that confirms scope in writing, keeps factory reference quotes visible when possible, and does not take supplier kickbacks that inflate your price. We do not publish a public fee menu; commission is not shown to buyers here. Start with the free report, then approve any later step before it is charged.
Who is the legal company behind Haopin Global?↓
上海好品全球科技有限公司 (Shanghai Haopin Global Technology Co., Ltd.), a subsidiary of 好品控股 (Haopin Holdings).
How to verify a Chinese supplier / factory vs trading company?↓
Check business registration on China's public credit system (gsxt.gov.cn), request a business license, ask for factory evidence or an audit, and order samples before bulk. We help run this checklist when you open a sourcing project.
What is MOQ and can I order small quantities from China?↓
MOQ is the factory's minimum order quantity. Many lines allow trial orders; we prioritize suppliers that can start small and scale.
How to import from China to Nigeria / Kenya / South Africa?↓
You need product compliance for the destination, a shipping term (FOB/EXW/DDP), and a clear owner for duties. We coordinate supplier-side documents and can introduce logistics options; local import clearance is usually on the buyer or a local broker.
Sample cost and lead time from Chinese factories?↓
Samples are often charged plus courier; lead time varies with customization. Exact figures appear in your sourcing report after we query factories — we do not publish fake averages.
FOB vs EXW vs DDP for first-time importers?↓
EXW = you arrange pickup at factory; FOB = supplier delivers to port of shipment; DDP = delivered duty paid to your door. First-time importers often start FOB with a freight forwarder. We state which term each quote uses.
Pre-shipment inspection: who pays and what it checks?↓
PSI checks quantity, workmanship, packing, and often function/safety sampling before shipment. Who pays is agreed when you approve that scope — not as a hidden line inside the free report.
Is Haopin Global the same as Haopin Toys?↓
Keyword split by design: trade.haopinglobal.com = China sourcing agent / free sourcing report; haopintoys.com = toys. Related brand / shared contact channels may apply.
