Practical tools for China sourcing

Checklists, worksheets, and reference documents I use with clients — made available for anyone building a supply chain in China. Free to download; email required for the ones that get updates.

What’s planned

Resources in the pipeline

The first wave of resources will cover the parts of sourcing that go wrong most often. Each one is a working document — the same version I use during projects — not a marketing brochure.

  • China Supplier Checklist — the vetting steps I run before recommending a factory to a client.
  • Factory Verification Checklist — what to look for on a factory audit, with red-flag counts.
  • China Import Guide — the end-to-end importer’s timeline, from PO to delivered goods.
  • Amazon Sourcing Guide — FBA-specific sourcing constraints and the cost breakdown for a private label product.
  • Purchase Order Template — the PO structure I use for clients, with acceptance criteria and payment milestones.
  • Sample Approval Form — how to sign off a sample so the factory can’t argue about it later.

How to use them

Working documents, not brochures

Each resource is designed to be used, not just read. Print the checklists, mark them up, add your own product-specific rows. If you find a gap that would help other buyers, email me — I update the documents based on what I learn on active projects.

New resources are announced by email first. Signing up for one gets you the updates to that document over time; the underlying files stay free.
