SourciaVera is a China sourcing agent, with a team in Guangzhou, for importers in Mexico and Latin America: we find the factory, negotiate, inspect every order at the factory on video and coordinate shipping. We charge 10% of the order only when the purchase closes, and we do not accept commissions from factories.
You can start with the $49 remote supplier check, which returns a written report within 48 hours, before committing more money. After that, the work follows six steps.
We look for factories for your product and confirm they are real. If you already have one, we start with the $49 remote check or an on-site factory verification.
We negotiate in Chinese, directly with the factory and on your behalf.
We order and review the sample before moving to bulk production.
Our team in Guangzhou follows production at the factory.
We inspect the order at the factory and record video before it leaves China.
We coordinate shipping from the factory to your door and give you an all-in price before production (DDP available, duties and delivery included). Customs clearance in Mexico is handled by a licensed customs broker (agente aduanal). If you have a Mexican importer registration (padrón de importadores), the goods are imported under your name so you can credit the VAT. We declare the real invoice value — no undervaluation.

The sourcing agent commission is 10% of the order value and is charged only when the purchase closes.
On-site verification, inspection and audit are priced separately at our published rates: factory verification from $449 per visit, pre-shipment inspection $399 per man-day and factory audit $499 per man-day. After a detailed consultation, those three services get 20% off.
Every order is inspected at the factory before it is exported, large or small. On small batches (custom orders start at 50 pieces) every piece is checked; on large orders we apply the sampling agreed in advance. Everything is recorded on video and sent to you.
The sampling rules are in our inspection standards, and the kind of evidence you receive is in the sample report.
We do the storage ourselves; it is not outsourced to a partner. In Guangzhou we handle four functions: storage, consolidation, packing and quality checks.
We work in three categories, with auto parts first:
We are a team of about 30 people in Guangzhou, across purchasing, transport and logistics, and foreign trade.
We charge the client only: we do not accept commissions from factories, so we have no interest in which factory you choose. The details are in our impartiality statement.
We compare our own two services so you can pick the one that fits your situation.
