The quality of a sourcing conversation starts with the information you provide. Whether you need one product or several product types, a structured enquiry makes it easier to discuss the request and destination.
How to Prepare a China Sourcing Enquiry
A clear product enquiry helps a sourcing agent understand what you need. Use this practical checklist before contacting a China sourcing agency.
Key takeaways
- Describe the product with practical details.
- Include quantity and packaging information when known.
- Always state the destination country.
Describe the Product Clearly
Begin with the product name and explain what it is used for. Add photos, drawings, links or specifications when available so the request is easier to understand.
- Product name and intended use
- Material, size, colour or model
- Reference images or product links
Explain Your Order Requirement
State whether you are enquiring about a single item, a product group or repeat sourcing. If you already know the quantity or packaging requirement, include it in the first message.
- Requested quantity
- Packaging or labelling needs
- Single or ongoing requirement
Add the Destination
Shipping details matter from the beginning. Provide the destination country and any relevant delivery information so the sourcing request includes the movement of goods from China.
