3–4 middlemen stand between the factory and you. Each takes a markup
Most goods you buy from local traders are made in China. We don’t make the product cheaper — we remove the extra links.

Freight, duty and VAT don’t disappear — we include them honestly in the quote. The savings are the middlemen’s markups we remove.
Full landed cost, not the factory price
We compare the price to your warehouse — with every cost
A factory price means nothing until you know what the goods cost at your door. So every line is shown separately:
Factory pricefor your spec and volume
Freight to the UAEsea or air — we compare options
Customs duty 5%on CIF value; suspended in a free zone
VAT 5%reclaimable if you’re VAT-registered

Why it’s safe
We know what worries you. Here’s how we handle it
Importing from China on your own is risky. Our job is to take those risks on.
“They’ll ship defects”
Samples and inspection
Sample first. Before shipping — a batch inspection with photos and video. You see the goods before they leave.
“The money will vanish”
Contract and staged payment
We work under a contract. Payment terms, timelines and liability are fixed before purchase.
“A fly-by-night factory”
Supplier verification
We check the factory’s license and history, and can do a video call from the workshop.
“Stuck at customs”
Freight and clearance
We arrange shipping to the UAE and customs clearance. Timelines are quoted upfront.
“Paperwork won’t add up”
Proper documents
Commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin — we agree the document set before we start.
“The agent will pad the price”
Transparent fee
Our fee is a separate line in the quote. You see the factory price and our income.
The UAE as a hub
Selling across the GCC? Bring goods in through a free zone
In a free zone such as Jebel Ali, customs duty is suspended while goods stay in the zone — convenient for storage and re-export to Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar, Kuwait and Bahrain. If this applies to you, we’ll factor it into the quote.
Exact customs treatment depends on how your company is set up — we confirm it for your case.How it works

FAQ
What people ask before their first order
How much does a quote cost?
Nothing. You’re not committed to anything: if the difference is small or there isn’t one, we’ll say so and you stay with your supplier.
How do you make money?
A commission on the purchase. It’s a separate line in the quote, so you see both the factory price and our income before you decide.
What’s the minimum order?
It depends on the product and the factory. We work with businesses, not retail. Send the item and volume — we’ll tell you right away whether it makes sense.
What if the quality is worse than now?
That’s why there’s a sample first and a batch inspection before shipping. Often it’s the very factory your current supplier buys from.
How long does delivery take, and what about freight?
It depends on production and the shipping method. Freight rates to the Gulf have swung a lot in 2026, so we quote them on the day of your request, together with timelines — so you compare real numbers.
What duties and taxes will I pay?
Usually 5% customs duty on the CIF value plus 5% VAT; VAT is reclaimable for VAT-registered businesses. Free zones have their own rules. Every line is shown in the quote.
Do I need to switch suppliers right away?
No. Start with one item and compare. Many keep their current supplier as a backup.
