Last updated: 28 July 2026. Partner terms and coverage described here are current as at that date. Apart from the published US$268 visit price, nothing on this page is an offer or a binding quotation — scope, rates and the agreement itself are confirmed in writing per engagement.
You don't need a China office. You need someone who can get into that factory, a report your client can read, and a written promise that we will never approach the client you introduce. That's the whole proposition. Below is what partners actually use, what the terms are, and how a first engagement runs.
The gap
The question you can't answer from 8,000km away.
Your client asks whether the goods are ready. Not whether the supplier says they're ready — whether they are. From your side of the world there are two honest options: relay the supplier's answer, which is what they were going to tell your client anyway, or admit you don't know. Neither is what your client thought they were buying.
Closing that gap by hiring is a real business in its own right. A Chinese entity, a payroll, an office, inspectors who need managing in a language most Western firms don't operate in, and enough throughput to justify the whole structure. Most forwarders, prep centres and agencies never reach that volume — and the ones that do usually get there several years after they first needed the coverage.
The alternative is to rent it. We're a Chinese company — Huizhou Bolang Technology Co., Ltd., registered in Guangdong, business scope public and checkable on gsxt.gov.cn — with our own people in Guangdong, Jiangsu and Tianjin, plus a nationwide inspector network. We already do this work every week for our own clients. Partners buy the same capability wholesale and put their own name on the output.
What partners use
Four things partners buy wholesale.
White-label inspection
AQL sampling to ISO 2859-1, photo-documented, with the report issued on your template under your branding. Your client never sees our name unless you want them to. Same inspectors and same standard as our own quality inspection work — the only difference is whose logo is at the top.
Factory audits
Registry, capacity and capability verification on a supplier you're onboarding. Legal entity confirmed against the national registry, the facility visited and photographed, scale checked against the volumes being promised, and a written verdict you can hand to your client without editing it first.
Consolidation and prep
Multi-supplier consolidation and FBA prep out of our warehouse, feeding into your freight rather than competing with it. We are not a forwarder and we're not trying to become one. The container leaves on your booking, with your rates and your relationship intact — including Amazon prep where that's what the client needs.
Escalation cover
A supplier who's gone quiet, a shipment in dispute, a client who needs someone physically at the factory. We confirm the visit date when we quote. This is the work partners call us about first, and it's usually the reason the relationship starts.
The terms
The terms, in writing before anything starts.
- Non-solicitation We do not approach clients you introduce. Signed before we contact a supplier — in the agreement, not just the conversation.
- Branding Yours or ours. Your call, decided per engagement.
- A single factory visit US$268 — the published number, the same one your client would see, for either a supplier verification visit or a pre-shipment inspection. One factory, one visit, and a photo-documented report within 24 hours of the visit, at factories in China's main manufacturing regions.
- Rates One fixed-price visit you can book outright; everything else quoted per engagement on scope, province and volume, in writing before work starts. The same basis for every partner at the same volume.
- First engagement One visit at the published price, or a larger scope priced in writing before it starts — either way you can judge the work on one job.
- Confidentiality Your client list, your margins, your report template. We don't discuss one partner's work with another.
The non-solicitation is the point. Every partner arrangement in this industry lives or dies on one question: what stops the China side going direct? Ours is a signed clause and a business that doesn't need your client, because we already have our own. Ask us for the clause before you send us anything — we'd rather you read it than take our word for it on a call.
Fit
Who this fits — and who it doesn't.
- Freight forwarders and customs brokers whose clients keep asking sourcing questions the booking doesn't cover, and who lose the conversation the moment they say "that's not us".
- 3PLs and prep centres that absorb the margin when goods arrive wrong, with no way to stop the problem upstream where it's cheap to fix.
- Western sourcing agencies and consultancies with real client relationships and no boots on the ground — currently sub-contracting to an inspection firm that has no reason to protect your position.
- Amazon and e-commerce agencies who advise on the product, the listing and the launch, and then have to hand the actual sourcing to someone else.
Who it isn't for
Importers buying for themselves. If you're the buyer rather than the partner routing one, this page is the wrong door. Go to our services and contract with us directly — same team, one less layer, and you'll pay less than a partner rate with a margin on top.
Anyone who needs us invisible in a way that isn't true. We'll put your logo on a report and stay off the call. We won't state that you inspected something yourself when you didn't, and we won't sign a document claiming no Chinese company was involved. That kind of arrangement is fine right up until the moment it isn't, and it's your client who finds out first.
How it starts
How a first engagement actually runs.
- Tell us the job. One inspection, one audit, one supplier that's stopped replying. Not a programme, not a framework agreement — a job with a factory address attached.
- Terms first. Non-solicitation and confidentiality signed, branding decided, scope and price agreed in writing. All of it before we make contact with your supplier.
- Scope in writing. What we'll check, when we'll be there, what comes back and in what format — priced before we start, so there is no invoice conversation afterwards.
- The work. Someone from our team goes to the factory. The report comes back on your template, within the turnaround we agreed, with the photographs attached.
- Your call. Repeat it, move to a tiered rate agreement, or don't. There's nothing to cancel and nothing on a minimum.
