Supplier Sourcing & Qualification
We find and qualify suppliers in Southeast Asia for your product or category. More than 250 supplier visits conducted across the region, and a network built over 20 years of sourcing work in Asia.
We identify supplier candidates, qualify them against your requirements, and verify what they can deliver. This includes factory audits, product verification, and quality control inspections. Where testing is needed, we use accredited labs and manage the process for you.
We can also support you after the supplier is chosen. We run tenders, support price and terms negotiations, and can act as your sourcing office on the ground, with a dedicated person handling purchasing, quality control, and supplier visits.

Common questions (FAQ)
Trade & Customs Advisory
We handle the trade side of your supply chain in Southeast Asia. HS classification, rules of origin, free trade agreements, permits, and landed cost. Our clients have realized over 50 million EUR in cost savings through this work.
Many companies are moving production and sourcing to Southeast Asia as part of a China plus one strategy. We assess whether your products qualify for the preferential duties you plan for. Rules of origin decide whether your Vietnam-made product counts as made in Vietnam, and we tell you what qualifies today and what changes in processing would be needed where it does not.
We also prepare the border side. Correct HS classification per product and market, the permits your product needs, complete customs documentation, and a landed cost model that shows your full cost per unit into each market.
