Get sourcing helpFrequently asked questions
- Can I buy from Yiwu without visiting China?
- Yes. Many overseas buyers source from Yiwu remotely through sourcing agents or verified partners. You can share product photos, specs, and target pricing, receive samples, and place orders without traveling. Visiting Yiwu is helpful for complex product lines but not required for every buyer.
- What is the minimum order quantity?
- MOQ varies by product, supplier type, and customization. Yiwu traders often accept lower MOQs than factories, while custom branding usually increases MOQ. Typical ranges start from a few hundred to a few thousand units depending on the category.
- How do I find reliable suppliers?
- Shortlist suppliers with export experience, request samples, verify business licenses, compare multiple quotes, and start with a small trial order. Working with an experienced Yiwu sourcing team helps verify suppliers before you pay.
- How long does shipping take?
- Sea freight from Yiwu to most destinations takes roughly 25–45 days. Air freight is faster at 5–10 days but costs more. Express courier works for small samples. Timeline depends on destination, customs clearance, and shipping method.
- Can you help with inspection?
- Yes. Qualified sourcing requests can include quality inspection support — pre-shipment checks, sample approval, and factory verification — handled by our experienced Yiwu sourcing partner team.
