CN → US · China to the United States
American buyers still value the capability of Chinese manufacturers, but they want reassurance: responsive communication, clear documentation and someone accountable in the United States. That is the role we play.

Sectors we focus on
Plan for these
China is 12 to 16 hours ahead of U.S. time zones. A U.S.-based contact means buyers get answers the same day.
U.S. tariffs on goods from China are significant and change often. Landed-cost planning with your customs broker is essential.
U.S. buyers increasingly want a local, accountable contact before committing to a new supplier.
Expect detailed questions on materials, origin and supply-chain traceability.
