Security cameras, office equipment and mixed goods
I need China agent who help me with our supplier and source other items also, then collect all the goods in one container, and issue one invoice as a seller.
The client was a large company purchasing products in China. They had already found one supplier and agreed the order, but there were some questions around payment and export. Their supplier was also selling under EXW terms, while the goods still needed to be officially exported from China.
At the same time, the client needed to source and purchase other items, then consolidate all orders and ship in one container. But they had no office or purchasing manager in China to handle all of this locally. So my job was to take over the China side and manage the entire process end to end.

Outcome
I handled the payment to the client’s original supplier, sourced and purchased the other items, and collected all the orders at the warehouse in Guangzhou.
From there, I prepared the goods for export as one shipment, arranged sea freight, assisted the client’s original supplier with official export under a separate customs declaration, and loaded all the goods into one 20 ft container. 12 suppliers in total.
For the client, all the goods were brought together under one seller of record. I issued one commercial invoice in USD covering all purchases and provided the bill of lading for the shipment.
