We visit trade shows, study industry publications, maintain connections with factories in multiple industries and are constantly on the lookout for new opportunities.

- Prices and terms are negotiated
- We carry out quality control, and, depending on your needs, inspect products prior to acceptance.
- The products are shipped via an appropriate agreed method, customs clearance performed and the products delivered.
[/vc_column_text][/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=»What products can you source?»][vc_column_text]
Most things!just tell me what you want to sourcing ,especially China is the manufacturing hub of the world. If you can dream it, we can probably source it.
[/vc_column_text][/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=»What are the minimum order quantities?»][vc_column_text]
It depends on many factors including product value, type of product, tooling requirements, product dimensions how many fit in a container, frequency of purchase etc. Generally, if your order is currently at least $20,000 from a Western supplier/manufacturer, it may be feasible for you to use our services. If you’d like to determine the feasibility of sourcing your product from China ,Argentina or Australia .
[/vc_column_text][/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=»What about product quality?»][vc_column_text]
No matter what or where you manufacture, there will be risks. Excorp Trading‘s role is to minimise these risks, using our rigid systems. We thoroughly research manufacturers, and use many other safeguards throughout the procurement process to ensure you receive exactly what you expect.
[/vc_column_text][/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=»What makes you unique?»][vc_column_text]Independent – We’re not tied to any suppliers.
Transparent – Both in how we operate and the suppliers we source for you.[/vc_column_text][/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=»What is my investment in you?»][vc_column_text]
For product sourcing, you invest on a stage-by-stage basis as the work is completed. We believe our unique ‘stage-by-stage’ model represents the best value way to deal directly with Chinese factories , Australian factories or Argentina factories , whilst reducing the risks involved.
[/vc_column_text][/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=»Do you take a commission from the supplier?»][vc_column_text]
No. Doing so would reduce our ability to demand changes, refunds or lead time reductions. One of the things that makes Excorp Trading unique is our independence. It’s standard for secret commissions to be built into the quoted price in China , Australia and Argentina , so when we inform manufacturers we don’t accept payments, they think we’re joking! However, our business model and investment structure are designed to maintain our independence as your purchasing representative, working solely for your interests.
[/vc_column_text][/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=»What about shipping and delivery times/costs from China to the Australia or South America ? «][vc_column_text]
Costs and times vary depending on shipping method (courier service, air or surface freight). Courier services like DHL, UPS or FedEx are the fastest, but most expensive. These services are great for small shipments (up to 250 lbs) or samples that need to get to the Australia , China or Argentina . quickly. Prices depend on the weight and dimensions of goods shipped and transit times typically range from 3 to 5 days. Air freight typically takes 8 days door to door and will cost about 25% of your total order price. Sea or surface freight takes about 4-5 weeks door to door and will typically cost 12% of your total order price. Prices are seasonal and change often.
[/vc_column_text][/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=» Can Excorp Trading help me deal with customs and tariffs into the Australia , China or South America?»][vc_column_text]

[/vc_column_text][/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=»I’m considering a trip to China , Japan or South America. Where do I start? «][vc_column_text]
From our experience it works best to initially have us research the item, tender it out, and shortlist potential suppliers. Then you can make an informed decision as to whether a trip is required. If a trip would be beneficial, we can arrange everything, including a trade assistant and factory visits to gain maximum value from the trip.
[/vc_column_text][/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=»Do I need an import license?»][vc_column_text]
For most items, there is no requirement for companies or individuals to hold an import license, however we recommend researching whether one for your category is required. Also, depending on the nature of the commodity, and regardless of value, owners may need to obtain permits or approvals to facilitate clearance of goods through Customs.
[/vc_column_text][/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=»What if my product doesn’t exist in China ,Japan or South America and I need to get it specially manufactured? «][vc_column_text]
Just provide us a detailed specification with a picture, and we will research and locate a suitable manufacturer for you. Excorp Trading will organize the manufacturing agreement on your behalf, and have the first sample made to your satisfaction. We use confidentiality agreements and other measures to help protect your valuable intellectual property.
[/vc_column_text][/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=»Is sourcing from overseas taking jobs from Australians?»][vc_column_text]
Excorp Trading is committed to helping Australian businesses compete, and thrive, in a global market. Countries must find their competitive advantage and develop them to offer their people the best jobs in the world. At this point of economic development, Australia’s strengths aren’t in manufacturing labour-intensive products. The economic reality is that most labour-intensive operations will inevitably move to where labour cost is cheapest, or else they become non-competitive and won’t survive. Australian companies who have recognized this and have taken advantage of it have grown and prospered.
[/vc_column_text][/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=»How long will I be able to maintain a cost advantage by sourcing in China?»][vc_column_text]
The sourcing of goods from China is expected to last many years. The «window of opportunity», however, will no doubt get smaller and smaller as more and more of your competitors realise the benefits. So, the sooner you make China your competitive advantage, the better.
[/vc_column_text][/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=»Why should I use your services?»][vc_column_text]Extensive experience in dealing with Chinese manufacturers means that we avoid the pitfalls and provide the security you need to successfully gain access to the massive savings available.We provide you with personnel on the ground in China who can determine the legitimacy of a manufacturer and provide quality control BEFORE the products are shipped.
