Lower-Risk China Sourcing, Without the Daily Hassle

Practical China-side support for UK product brands — from suppliers and samples to packaging, simple assembly, quality checks and shipment coordination.

We help UK product brands make China sourcing
lower-risk, more organised and easier to manage.

Whether you are already sourcing from China or exploring it for the first time

Whether you are already sourcing from China or exploring it for the first time, we can support the practical work behind the process: supplier checks, samples, packaging, simple assembly, quality control, stock follow-up and shipment coordination.

You keep one clear point of contact. We help manage the China-side details.

China Sourcing Health Check

Already have a supplier, quote or product idea? We can review your current setup, including suppliers, MOQ, lead times, pricing, packaging, quality risks and next steps.

Sample Sourcing Sprint

For brands that want to test an idea before committing to a full order, we can help identify suitable suppliers, arrange samples, compare options and clarify what is realistic.

Supplier Coordination & QC Support

We communicate with suppliers on your behalf, follow up on production details, arrange quality checks where needed and flag issues before they become bigger problems.

Brand & IP-aware Supplier Management

We help brands handle product, packaging and brand information more carefully when working with China-side suppliers and partners.

China-side Packing, Kitting & Simple Assembly

Where suitable, we help move packing, bundling, labelling and simple assembly work to China before shipment, so goods arrive in the UK more organised and ready for the next step.

Supplier Rescue / Trouble Fix

If a supplier relationship, sample process or order has become difficult to manage, we can step in to review the situation, communicate with the supplier and help move the project forward.

Our role is not just to find a supplier. We help keep the China-side process clearer, more controlled and less time-consuming for your team.

Real projects are never one-size-fits-all — here’s one example of how we reduced risk and kept a UK brand’s China sourcing on track.

Case Study: Tily Blooms

Creating a clearer China-side sourcing and coordination model for a founder-led UK brand

Before: Tily Blooms’ China sourcing was taking up too much founder time. Communication was not always smooth, product and shipping costs were higher than expected, and quality consistency was not where it needed to be.

Our Support: Commercial Cross took over China-side sourcing and supplier coordination, including new product sampling, production follow-up, China-side stock management, proactive reordering when components were running low, on-site quality checks, semi-assembly and shipment coordination.

Result: Tily Blooms now has one clear point of contact for China-side sourcing. Suitable non-key components are produced, managed and semi-assembled in China, helping reduce costs, improve control, avoid component shortages and reduce UK-side assembly time.
