How do you find and qualify suppliers in Southeast Asia?

We identify potential suppliers based on your technical, quality, and commercial requirements. Screening includes manufacturing capability assessments, quality system evaluations, capacity analysis, and on-site visits. Where formal verification is required, we coordinate third-party audits.

What does supplier qualification involve?

Supplier qualification includes manufacturing capability assessment, quality system and certification evaluation, capacity and scalability analysis, compliance readiness review, financial stability assessment, and audit coordination as applicable.

Why is on-the-ground supplier validation important?

Online searches and databases are not sufficient for reliable supplier selection in Asia. Certifications and quality systems must be verified in person, production readiness and capacity claims need validation, and cultural and communication fit affects long-term success.

What deliverables do you provide after supplier identification?

Deliverables include a supplier requirements specification, long-list of potential suppliers, factory audit and capability reports, a qualified supplier shortlist, comparison matrix with scoring, and a certification and compliance summary.

What is a country of origin assessment?

A country of origin assessment analyzes how relocating production from one country to another affects the customs origin of your products. It maps your current origin logic, models relocation scenarios, and evaluates FTA eligibility and duty exposure under different production locations.

Who needs an origin assessment before relocating production?

Companies manufacturing in China and considering relocation to Southeast Asia, firms pursuing China +1 strategies, businesses responding to tariffs or trade restrictions, and leadership teams deciding where future production should go.

What data is needed for an origin assessment?

The assessment requires bills of materials (BOMs), component origin information, HS classifications, current manufacturing and processing steps, and details about key export markets.

What are the risks of relocating without an origin assessment?

Products may still not meet origin rules after relocation, processing may be insufficient to change origin, expected duty savings may not materialize, and supply chain operations and compliance can become more complex than anticipated.
