GF Global Source

Sectors

Ask about your product, not our list.

A sourcing agent who names forty categories knows none of them. Tell us what you need and you will get a straight answer about whether we are the right people to find it.

Three possible answers

You get one of three replies.

Send the specification, the quantity and the destination. The third reply is what makes the first two worth having.

  1. i.

    We can source it, with a price range and a realistic lead time.

  2. ii.

    We can source it, but it is not where we are strongest, and here is what that costs you.

  3. iii.

    We cannot, and here is the kind of firm that can.

Before we answer

What we check first.

  • Can it be made?

    By suppliers in East Asia, Southeast Asia or Europe, at your volume, to your specification and in your timeframe.

  • Can it be sold where you are?

    What your market requires of the goods: the standards, the marking and labelling, the certificates and the import documents.

  • Does the price still work?

    Once freight, duty and inspection are added, so the price you compare is the price of the goods at your door.

What helps us answer

What to send.

The more specific the brief, the faster the answer. None of this has to be perfect.

The product
A specification, a drawing or a datasheet, or a sample you already have. If there is no specification yet, say so: writing one is part of the brief.
The quantity
Per order, and per year if the order repeats.
The destination
The country and the place of delivery, so duty, documents and freight can be priced.
A target price
Even a rough one. It shows quickly whether the product is worth sourcing at all.
Timing
When the goods need to arrive.
Rules you know of
Any standards or certificates your market or your own customer requires.

    Buyers anywhere else in the world, from the Middle East and Africa to the Americas and within Asia. Tell us the product and the destination; the documents and rules at your end are part of the brief.
