Your complete import partner
One partner for every step — sourcing, logistics, finance & compliance.
Most importers juggle an agent, a forwarder, a customs broker, a bank and an inspector. We bring it under one roof, with one account manager who answers to you.
Sourcing & quality
Verified factories, Mandarin negotiation, free samples, AQL inspection before you pay.
Logistics & customs
Consolidation, sea/air/rail freight, clearance — or one all-in DDP price to your door.
Finance & payments
Milestone payments tied to inspection, verified accounts, import finance via partner banks.
Compliance & growth
IEC, BIS, labelling handled — plus product, pricing and branding help to grow your business.
What we do
Ten services. Everything between “I need this product” and “it's in my warehouse.”
One team handles sourcing, quality and logistics, so nothing falls through the gaps between suppliers, inspectors and forwarders.
Factory floor to your port
Every step of your order, handled on the ground.
From the trade-market booths of Yiwu to the container terminal, one team follows your goods the whole way.

Why use a sourcing agent
Buying direct vs. buying with LIT International

The same process for a first 200-unit trial order or a repeat 40ft container.

Yiwu Market Guide for Importers: Districts, MOQs and How to Buy
A practical guide to buying at Yiwu International Trade City: what each district sells, typical MOQs, prices, how ordering and payment work, and how to ship mixed containers.
Read guideWhat does a China sourcing agent do?
+
A China sourcing agent represents you, the buyer, in China. LIT International finds and verifies factories, negotiates price and MOQ, manages samples and production, inspects goods before shipment, consolidates orders and arranges shipping to your port.
How much does LIT International charge?
+
Our fee is a percentage of the product value, agreed upfront and shown on every quote, with no hidden markup on factory prices. Industry rates for sourcing agents generally sit between 5% and 10% depending on order size and complexity. Inspection and freight are quoted separately at cost-plus rates you can see.
Do you work with importers in India?
+
Yes. Our office is in New Delhi and our sourcing team is in Yiwu, China. We ship to Nhava Sheva, Mundra, Chennai, Kolkata and inland ICDs such as Tughlakabad and Patparganj in Delhi, and we prepare India-compliant labelling for MRP and Legal Metrology.
What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
+
There is no fixed MOQ for working with us. Each factory sets its own MOQ — typically 100–500 units for Yiwu market goods and 500–3,000 units for custom or branded products. We negotiate lower MOQs where possible and can combine several small orders into one shipment.
How long does it take to import from China to India?
+
Plan for about 6–10 weeks end to end: around 1 week for sourcing and samples, 2–5 weeks of production, 15–25 days of sea freight, and 3–7 days for customs clearance. Air freight cuts the shipping leg to roughly 3–7 days.
Can you deliver door to door with duty paid?
+
Yes. With our DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) service you get one all-in price covering pickup in China, freight, Indian customs clearance, duty and delivery to your warehouse, shop or Amazon FBA.
