IMEX Sourcing Services is a China-focused sourcing and quality control company operating since 2011, with offices in Guangzhou and Hong Kong. Its website reports 453 clients served, 879 products sourced and 1,926 projects completed, and says most clients are based in the UK, USA, Australia and Canada. The flagship offer is the 360 Sourcing Service, which covers supplier research, due diligence using government databases to separate real factories from trading companies, negotiation of price and payment terms, Chinese-language contracts with QC clauses, compliance checks on certificates such as CE and RoHS, and logistics through to the client's door. One man-day of factory inspection is included. Clients can also nominate their own supplier and still use the service. Ad hoc options include company verification in China and Thailand, factory audits, pre-production, during-production, pre-shipment and loading inspections, air courier, Amazon FBA courier and sample consolidation. Our take: IMEX stands out for process and technology. Every client gets a bilingual account manager in China plus access to the 360 Portal, which centralizes production status, payments, documents, key dates and email alerts. It suits e-commerce sellers and SMEs that want an outsourced China office with clear documentation, rather than buyers who need multi-country sourcing.
IMEX does not publish sourcing fees, and its online shop shows prices for verification, audits and inspections only after registration. Quotes typically depend on the service scope, product complexity, number of inspections and order volume.
The 360 Portal is IMEX's client dashboard. After an order is placed, clients receive login credentials and can view production and payment status, download invoices and shipping documents, see key dates such as inspection and shipment, and receive email alerts. It supplements rather than replaces the assigned bilingual account manager.
IMEX operates from an office in Guangzhou, in the Tianhe district, and an office in Hong Kong. The company has been sourcing for international buyers since 2011, and its team includes staff with backgrounds in sourcing, project management and QC, plus a CTO based in Germany who oversees systems and processes.
Yes. IMEX states that many clients nominate their own supplier, for example one met at a trade show or on a B2B portal, and still use the 360 Sourcing Service. In that case IMEX can run due diligence on the supplier, verify that prices match the market, negotiate terms and manage inspections and logistics.
The 360 Sourcing Service bundles supplier sourcing, due diligence, negotiation, compliance checks on certificates, Chinese supplier contracts with QC clauses, one man-day factory inspection, and logistics including customs clearance. For the UK, USA, Australia and Canada, IMEX can deliver goods to the client's door. Extra inspections can be added as needed.
