THE PROBLEM
Our Customers Face Three Main Challenges When Sourcing From China.
No China Visibility
- I don't know the real suppliers
- Is it a real factory or just a trader?
- What is the real China price?
No Supplier Verification
- Is this supplier a scam?
- Is my payment safe?
- What if the quality is bad?
No After Sales Support
- Will my order actually arrive?
- What if my shipment is delayed?
- Who do I contact if I need support?

FAQ
Questions Executives Usually Ask Before Getting Started
Can you just give me a price/quote?
No. We don’t provide free quotes. We identify, compare and recommend the most suitable manufacturers for your project, together with their landed prices. If you’re only looking for a quick quote, Alibaba or Made-in-China may be a better fit.
What is your minimum order size?
There is no strict minimum. However, our service is best suited to companies with annual procurement exceeding USD 250,000 or complex projects requiring specialist sourcing and supplier verification.
How do you charge to find a supplier?
50% upfront to begin supplier identification, with the balance due when you accept the supplier report. See “How We Work” for details.
What does your Supplier Identification & Product Pricing report include?
Our supplier report helps you compare and select the right manufacturer. It includes shortlisted manufacturers, landed cost calculations, market and supplier risk analysis, and the full name of every manufacturer in English and Chinese, together with their website, email and contact details.
What guarantee do you have that you’ll find a suitable supplier?
Before accepting any project, we review your requirements and align expectations during a kickoff meeting. If our supplier report does not meet the agreed project requirements, we will refund 100% of the project fee.
Can we visit the factories?
Yes. In fact, we strongly recommend it. Factory visits allow you to verify the manufacturer, meet their technical team, inspect their facilities and build a direct working relationship before placing an order.
Do I pay the factory directly or CAMAL directly?
Both options are available. Depending on your project requirements, you can either pay the manufacturer directly or have CAMAL manage the procurement payment process. We will recommend the most suitable structure before procurement begins.
What do you need from me to begin the sourcing process?
Simply share your product specifications, required quantity and destination port. We’ll review your requirements, confirm whether we can support your project, and arrange a kickoff meeting to create a clear sourcing plan if we’re the right fit.
Once the factory is approved, do I need to do anything else?
No. Once the factory is approved, we manage the sourcing process, supplier communication and procurement coordination. Your team only needs to provide approvals when required and wait for your cargo to arrive.
What if I already have my own supplier?
If you already have reliable suppliers in China and are satisfied with their pricing, quality and service, you may not need our support. However, if you want to benchmark pricing, verify suppliers or identify alternative manufacturers, we can still help.
