Discuss your requirements →Freight-forwarder coordination
Help you compare shipping arrangements and communicate with suitable freight forwarders; transport and customs remain their responsibility.
Discuss your requirements →A distinction that matters
Remote checks and factory work are not the same thing.
You should know exactly what is being checked, whether anyone is physically present, and what evidence you will receive.
Documentary & commercial checks
A proportionate first step when you already have a supplier or need to screen several candidates.
- Business registration and identity checks
- Quotation, MOQ and lead-time review
- Requested certification and document checks
- Written findings, limitations and next steps
Physical factory visits & inspections
A separately scoped service when a real facility visit, product check or production follow-up is necessary.
- Factory location and facility observation
- Product, packaging and workmanship checks
- Photo and video evidence where permitted
- Travel, inspection scope and timing agreed upfront
Laboratory testing, formal certification, legal opinions and freight services remain the responsibility of the relevant qualified providers.

Who you work with
An Italian founder who understands both sides of international trade.

I have worked in China for more than nine years, with experience across logistics, business development and international trade. This background helps me assess suppliers commercially, communicate across cultures and keep projects moving from initial enquiry to execution.

Questions clients usually ask.
Clear expectations make better sourcing projects.
Can you check a supplier I already found?
Yes. If you already found a factory on Alibaba, 1688, at a trade fair or through another channel, I can scope a remote verification or an on-site visit without requiring a new supplier search.
Do I need to buy a full sourcing package?
No. Supplier shortlisting, verification, sampling, negotiation and inspection can be commissioned separately or combined when it makes sense.
How are your fees structured?
Fees are agreed for the specific work requested. Remote research and documentation reviews are priced separately from physical factory visits, travel and on-site inspections.
Do you handle shipping and dropshipping?
I can help coordinate with freight forwarders and clarify shipping arrangements. DGT is not a courier, warehouse, fulfillment operator or automated Shopify fulfillment service.
Can you guarantee certification or laboratory compliance?
I can request and review supplier documentation and help coordinate with relevant specialists. Formal testing, certification, legal advice and regulatory approvals must be provided by qualified third parties.
What should I send you first?
Share the product or reference images, target quantity, destination country, customization requirements, expected price range and any supplier contacts you already have.
Can you help Chinese companies find international buyers?
Yes. I can help research relevant importers, distributors and potential partners, improve commercial positioning and support outreach in Europe and South America. The scope depends on your products, target markets and current export readiness.
Start with a real conversation
Tell me what you want to source or where you want to grow.
Share your product, target market and current challenge. Whether you need sourcing support in China or help reaching buyers overseas, I will tell you honestly whether I can help and what the next step should be.
