Origin East represents the client’s commercial interests when dealing with manufacturers and suppliers in China. Following supplier selection, we support negotiations to establish clear and commercially appropriate terms before an order is confirmed.
Working directly with manufacturers, we can assist with negotiations covering:
Unit Pricing • MOQ • Tooling Costs • Payment Terms • Production Lead Time • Packaging Requirements • Warranty / After-Sales Support • Delivery Terms • Incoterms
Our objective is not simply to obtain the lowest price, but to achieve the best overall commercial value while maintaining the required product specification, quality and delivery requirements.
Before an order proceeds, the agreed commercial and technical requirements should be clearly documented with the supplier. Origin East reviews the commercial and technical information contained in quotations, proforma invoices, purchase orders and supply agreements to help identify discrepancies, omissions or unclear terms before an order is confirmed.
This can include confirmation of:
Product Specification · Quantity · Unit Price · Payment Schedule · Production Lead Time · Inspection Requirements · Packing Requirements · Incoterm · Shipping Terms · Required Documentation · Warranty Conditions
Where discrepancies or unclear terms are identified, these can be clarified with the supplier before the client commits to the order.
Origin East’s presence in China provides a practical communication link between international buyers and Chinese manufacturers. We communicate directly with suppliers to clarify technical and commercial requirements, reduce misunderstandings and maintain a documented understanding of the agreed order conditions.
Once commercial terms are agreed and the order is confirmed, the procurement process moves into Production Scheduling and Production Follow-Up.
