Contact us for supplier introductions or a sourcing checklist

What we can help with

If you are trying to source the kinds of goods this guide covers, tell us the category, what you are looking for, and roughly the scale you have in mind, and we can point you toward relevant suppliers. If you would rather start with a framework, request a sourcing checklist and sample-request template, designed to help you evaluate a supplier, ask the right questions about minimums and compliance, and inspect a sample before committing. We are an information guide, so what we provide is direction and education, not a sale.

The buyer and sample-request forms on the site are how those requests reach us; both post directly to our own system. We respect your information and do not sell it, and any introduction we facilitate is just that, a pointer toward a supplier you then deal with directly and vet yourself using the guidance on this site.

What to expect, and what we cannot do

What we offer is educational guidance and a pointer toward suppliers or a sourcing checklist. We are not a wholesaler, an importer, or a customs broker, and we do not sell product, set prices, or handle orders, shipping, or clearance. Any supplier we point you to operates independently, and any transaction, terms, and verification are between you and that supplier. We strongly encourage applying the vetting steps from the sourcing guide to anyone you contact, since a pointer is a starting point, not an endorsement.

For anything requiring specific, current, or regulated information, such as duty rates, tariff classification, customs entry, or product-safety compliance, consult the proper source: a licensed customs broker, Customs and Border Protection, the Harmonized Tariff Schedule, the Consumer Product Safety Commission, or another qualified professional. Prices, minimums, duties, and compliance requirements vary and change, and we do not warrant any specific figure. Treat what we provide as orientation, verify the specifics independently before you commit money, and deal with suppliers, brokers, and authorities directly for the binding details.
