Why US Sellers Need More Than a Supplier List in 2026
Duty-free de minimis treatment for low-value parcels has been suspended, so almost every commercial shipment from China to the US now needs a customs entry and duties assessed on its declared value. A cheap ex-works price is no longer a usable number: your 10-digit HTS classification, Chapter 99 additions, importer of record, bond, labelling and delivery channel all sit inside the same landed-cost calculation.
That is why US sellers use a sourcing agent instead of a marketplace shortlist. We check the factory, lock a golden sample, write the QC plan into the order and prepare the shipping file before the goods move. Read the detail in how China-to-US shipments clear customs and what the end of de minimis means for dropshipping.

Amazon FBA, Shopify DTC or Wholesale: the Brief Changes
Amazon FBA
The factory must build FNSKU labels, polybags, carton limits and category compliance into production. A shipment refused at the FC costs more than prep at source. See our FBA prep service.
Shopify & DTC
Duty belongs in your product price, not on the customer’s doorstep. Branded packaging, single-unit fulfilment and DDP parcels keep the delivered price predictable; our dropshipping team handles repeat orders.
Wholesale & retail
Carton marks, pallet patterns, ISF timing, formal entry and bond sit on the critical path. Start with our US customs and entry guide.
From One Sample to Full Containers
Many of our US partners started with one sample and grew to hundreds of SKUs, moving from air courier parcels to consolidated cartons and full container loads. We are built for that whole journey: one team, one all-in quote, and support for new businesses at every order size.

What Our Quote Includes
Our quoted price already includes our margin. There is no separate sourcing fee or commission added on top, and we do not set a strict MOQ of our own — a single sample or a small trial order is enough to start. Even with our margin included, the landed quote remains competitive with suppliers you might find on Alibaba or Made-in-China, and factory bulk prices are available from an early order. Factory MOQs vary by product, and we confirm the real number in writing for your SKU before any deposit.
Every line — unit price, tooling, sample, QC, inland freight, ocean or air, duty estimate under DDP and final delivery — is itemised before you commit. See the sourcing agent pricing breakdown, the full service list and the product categories we source.
US Customs and Duties: Who Handles What
What we prepare in China
Commercial invoice, packing list, product and material descriptions for classification, certificate numbers checked with the issuer, carton and label checks, and a DDP quote that shows the duty assumption in writing.
What you or your broker confirm
The final 10-digit HTS code, Chapter 99 additions, exclusions, importer of record, bond and entry type. We are a sourcing and freight partner, not a licensed US customs broker; for regulated products ask your broker to confirm the duty stack before you set retail prices.
