RND and Nick were a great help when we were visiting backpack factories in Quanzhou, Yiwu, Yongkang, China.

Nick did a tremendous job in communicating with our suppliers and solved a couple of difficulties and issues in new product developing and production. With their guiding, my friend David and I also visited Yiwu Market which was a big shock to our mindset. We had several great ideas for our new products developing and business direction.

RND always gives us their most professional and forward-looking advice. This is a company deserves your trust, especially if you already have a muture business and look for new growth.

RND company is one of the best companies that we have cooperated for many years and we can trust.They always help us find the best quality and the best prices in Yiwu market. Their delivery time is very quick.

The whole team of RND company is friendly and looking for the best for us. Because of covid situation, we can not travel to China now. We are having a lot of help from this company.RND you are the best ❤️

We've been working with RND for more than 10 years. They make my sourcing and purchasing from China much easier and save lots of time and money for me.

Nick and Riona took good care of my whole family during our trip in China. They also visited us in Poland in 2013 to attend a China trade show in Warsaw. I've put a couple of my contacts and friends in Poland to RND who did their work perfectly. This is a partner for work and real friend for family.

RND has been our sourcing agent for 7 years. They make everything super easy for us.

They take care of everything in China so all we have to focus on is selling the items once they arrive.

How do I estimate total landed cost (product + freight + duty)?

Landed cost = product + agent + freight + duty + fees (MPF/HMF/broker/last-mile). In 2026 model ~35% effective US duty and add a 10-15% buffer.

Short Answer: Stack Product + Agent + Freight + Duty + Fees, Then Add 10-15% Buffer

Direct Answer

Total landed cost is the full price of goods delivered to your door: product value, agent commission, international freight, import duty and the many small fees (MPF, HMF, broker, last-mile). In 2026 the biggest new variable is US tariff stacking, where typical consumer goods now face about 35% effective duty after the de-minimis removal, so always model duty before you price.

The Landed-Cost Stack

Build the estimate in order; each layer adds on the previous. Skipping duty or fees is the most common reason a 'cheap' China order loses money at resale.

1

Product value

Factory price in USD.

2

Agent commission

3-10% on goods.

3

Freight to port

FOB to your destination.

4

Import duty & tariffs

~35% effective US typical in 2026.

5

Fees & last-mile

MPF, HMF, broker, drayage.

A calculator and a freight invoice on a desk — Land cost stacks product, agent, freight, duty and fees in order.

The 2026 Duty Reality (US)

After the SCOTUS IEEPA ruling (Feb 2026) and the removal of the $800 de-minimis exemption, typical consumer goods face about 35% effective duty from stacked Section 301 (25% on Lists 1-3, 7.5% on 4A) plus Section 232 metals and new surcharges. Apparel runs 40-60%.

~35%Effective US dutyTypical consumer goods, 2026

40-60%ApparelHigher stacking

0.3464%MPFOf value, $31.67-614.35

0.125%HMFOcean imports only

Worked Example: $10,000 Order to the US

A worked all-in for a $10,000 factory order to the US West Coast, modelled at 2026 rates.

Layer	Amount	Basis
Product	$10,000	Factory price
Agent (5%)	$500	On goods
Ocean freight (40ft share)	$900	Part of container
Duty (~35%)	$3,850	On goods value
MPF 0.3464%	$35	On value
HMF 0.125%	$13	On value
Broker + drayage	$250	Fixed
Landed total	$15,548	All-in

Model duty on goods value, not on the agent or freight, unless your tariff base says otherwise.

A container ship on the horizon at a port — Ocean freight is one layer; model it at the carrier rate, not a markup.

The Buffer You Must Add

Freight and tariff are volatile in 2026 (rates surged +239% from March on tariff front-loading). Add 10-15% buffer so a spike does not erase margin.

Don't trust last year's duty Section 122 surcharge and 301 reviews change bases quarterly.
Model worst-case lane East Coast adds transit and surcharges vs West Coast.

Case: The 'Profitable' Order That Wasn't

Importer: CA home-goods seller, $8k order

Priced on product + freight only, ignoring the new ~35% duty and brokerage. At resale the order lost $1,100 after the first formal entry post de-minimis. Re-modelled with duty and buffer, the next order was priced correctly.

OutcomeSecond order margin restored by modelling full landed cost up front.

How RND SOURCING Models Landed Cost

Our desk builds a landed-cost sheet for every quote: product, commission, freight at the carrier rate, the current duty for your HS code, and all US fees, with a 10-15% buffer for 2026 volatility. We are not a customs broker, so for binding tariff classification we point you to a licensed broker, but the estimate is complete enough to price with confidence.

Short Answer: EXW Is Cheapest but Most Work; FOB Is the Balanced Default; CIF Adds Freight Risk

Direct Answer

EXW (ex-works) means you collect goods at the factory gate, so you control everything after but arrange all transport yourself. FOB (free on board) means the seller delivers goods loaded onto the ship at the Chinese port, the standard choice for control and cost. CIF (cost, insurance, freight) means the seller pays ocean freight and insurance to your port, simpler but usually more expensive and harder to insure separately.

The Three Incoterms in Plain English

These are Incoterms, the standard who-pays-for-what rules in international trade. The difference is simply where responsibility and cost transfer from seller to buyer.

Term	Seller pays until	Buyer handles from
EXW	Goods at factory gate	Everything: pickup, export, freight, import
FOB	Goods loaded on vessel at CN port	Ocean freight, insurance, import
CIF	Goods + freight + insurance to dest port	Import clearance, last-mile

A shipping container being loaded at a Chinese port — FOB transfers responsibility once goods are on the vessel at the port.

Which to Choose

Choose EXW if

You have your own freight forwarder
You want maximum control of cost
You consolidate many factories

Choose FOB if

You want a clear cost split
You book your own freight (no markup)
You are a first-time importer

Choose CIF if

You want one invoice, less admin
Shipment is small / simple
You trust the seller's freight rate

Why FOB Is the Default for Most

FOB gives you a clean breakpoint at the Chinese port. You book ocean freight yourself, so no agent or seller can hide margin in shipping, and you keep control of the carrier and the timeline. For first-time importers it is the safest balance of cost and simplicity.

FOBRecommendedControl + no freight markup

EXWAdvancedMax savings, max admin

CIFConvenientSimple but pricier

A notebook sketch of three shipping terms on a desk — EXW, FOB and CIF split cost at different points in the journey.

The CIF Insurance Trap

Seller chooses the insurer You may not be the named insured, complicating claims.
Freight markup built in CIF often hides a 10-30% spread on ocean rates.
Hard to compare carriers You cannot shop freight if the seller books it.

Case: FOB Saved the Timeline

Importer: US furniture seller, 2x 40ft

A CIF quote looked simpler but the seller's carrier had a 3-week wait. Switching to FOB let the buyer's forwarder book a 10-day sailing at a lower all-in rate, and the insurance was in the buyer's own name.

OutcomeDelivered 11 days earlier and $740 cheaper all-in.

How RND SOURCING Handles Terms

We quote in the Incoterm you prefer and most often recommend FOB so you keep freight control. When you want EXW we coordinate pickup and export declaration; when you want CIF we still show the carrier rate so the margin is visible. Our consolidation across Yiwu means many small EXW pickups become one efficient export.

Talk terms with our desk

RND SOURCING — Yiwu, Zhejiang, China. Written by our sourcing desk from first-hand market work.

Detailed Explanation

Good preparation is what separates a productive trip from an expensive walk. The work splits cleanly between you and your local team:

You prepare	RND SOURCING handles for you
Product list and target price range	Supplier shortlisting and background verification
Existing samples, drawings or specifications	Factory appointments grouped by region and category
Questions about past quality issues	High-speed-train tickets, hotels, drivers and interpreters
Decision authority on pricing and MOQ	Meeting notes, follow-up and post-trip quotations

Critically, talk to every shortlisted supplier before you fly. Some will never answer email or phone — and it is far cheaper to learn that from home than from a hotel in China.

Real Case: RND SOURCING in Action

First-hand experience

Before Bernie's June 2024 trip, RND SOURCING filtered out the unprofessional, unreliable and unsuitable suppliers so the days on the ground were spent only on real candidates. The suppliers he most wanted to see were contacted in advance, so factory appointments were already confirmed when he landed. That pre-screening alone saved weeks of wasted travel.

Comfortable first class on China's high-speed rail — China's high-speed rail is the backbone of any multi-city sourcing trip.

Short Answer: Pull the Licence, Look Up the Code

Direct Answer

Ask for the licence (营业执照) image with the 18-digit Unified Social Credit Code. Search the exact Chinese company name on gsxt.gov.cn. Confirm status reads active, the registered address matches the claimed factory location and the business scope includes your product category. Any mismatch is a problem.

What a Business Licence Actually Contains

The document a Chinese supplier calls a business licence (营业执照) is the official registration certificate issued by the local Administration for Market Regulation. Every legal entity in China holds one, including sole proprietorships, partnerships and limited companies. The full registration is also held centrally by the State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR), and that central copy is what you are about to access.

What you should see on a clean licence image: the company name in simplified Chinese, the 18-digit Unified Social Credit Code, the legal representative, the registered capital, the company address, the date of establishment, the business scope, and a stamp from the issuing authority.

Translucent Chinese business licence floating in dark teal studio, all text deliberately blurred — The document we verify, and the document the supplier volunteers, are usually the same image.

How to Verify the Licence in Seven Minutes

1

Request a stamped copy of the business licence.

Insist on the original scan with the red issuing-authority stamp. Screenshots from the supplier's own catalogue are not the same document.

2

Open the National Enterprise Credit Information Publicity System.

The site gsxt.gov.cn is run by SAMR. It is free, needs no registration and covers more than 180 million active entities.

3

Search by the exact Chinese company name.

Pinyin variants and loose translations will not match. Copy the Chinese characters off the licence image and paste them in.

4

Confirm the company status reads active.

An active status displays as 存续. A revoked status (吊销) or a cancelled status (注销) means the entity is no longer operating. Walk away.

5

Cross-check the registered address and legal representative.

Both should match the licence image and the salesperson's own statement. A mismatch usually means the supplier is hiding something.

6

Verify the business scope covers your product.

If the licence says import-export of textiles and you are buying electronics, that is a yellow flag, not an automatic stop, but it warrants a direct question.

7

Look at administrative penalties and anomalies.

The same registry shows recent regulatory penalties, abnormal operating flags and the listed shareholders. Read them. A long clean record is a useful signal.

What Other Free Lookups Add to the Picture

The national registry is the single most useful check, but it is not the only one. Together with the business licence, four more free lookups give you a fuller picture of the company you are about to pay.

Source	What it shows	Why it matters
gsxt.gov.cn	National enterprise registry, status, address, scope, penalties	Confirms the entity is real, active and matches the licence
Tax credit rating (State Taxation Administration)	Grade A to D on tax compliance	Almost no overseas buyer asks for this, which is why it remains a differentiator
wenshu.court.gov.cn	Court judgments and dishonest-debtor list	Shows whether the company has been a losing defendant in commercial cases
Tianyancha / Qichacha	Shareholders, related companies, lawsuits, news mentions	A combined view of the corporate group, useful when a single holding entity is just one of several
Baidu Maps / Google Maps	Satellite and street view of the registered address	Confirms the address is an industrial park, not a residential apartment

All five are free and require no Chinese bank account. Translators handle any Chinese-only fields.

Case: The Right City, Wrong Address

From the RND SOURCING desk, Yiwu

A buyer found a 'Yiwu factory' on Alibaba with a clean business licence, a Gold Supplier badge and a polished catalogue. The licence was in our hands within minutes and the SAMR lookup confirmed an active status. Then we opened Baidu Maps at the registered address.

The pin landed in the middle of a residential block in a different district of the same city, surrounded by apartment buildings and a primary school. No factory floor, no workshop, no industrial zoning. A phone call to the listed legal representative produced a long silence followed by a busy signal.

We had caught it before any money moved. The cost to the buyer was twenty minutes of verification work, no deposit lost.

OutcomeWe now treat the Baidu Maps cross-check as mandatory for every new factory regardless of how convincing the licence looks on the registry. A clean registration on gsxt.gov.cn and an apartment address are not contradictory in China, but they are informative together.

Status Codes Worth Memorising

You do not need to learn Chinese. You do need to recognise the four status values that determine whether a company is a viable counterpart.

Status	Reading	What it means	Decision
存续	cunxu	Active and operating	Proceed to the next verification step
吊销	diaoxiao	Licence revoked by the regulator	Walk away
注销	zhuxiao	Cancelled and deregistered	Walk away
迁出	qianchu	Relocated to another jurisdiction	Ask where, and re-verify in the new jurisdiction

A revoked or cancelled status is final. A relocated status is recoverable with a fresh lookup.

Laptop showing a registry website beside a coffee cup on a teal-lit desk — gsxt.gov.cn is free, needs no registration and is the highest-signal lookup you will do.

Limits You Should Expect From a Licence Check

The licence is current, the company is shaky. An active status does not imply financial health. Cross-check the court records and the tax credit rating separately.
The registry lags behind reality. A penalty decided in court last month may not appear in the public listing for several weeks. Repeat the check on large orders.
Chinese interface only. Use a translation tool or a Chinese-speaking contact. The site is not available in English at the time of writing.
Trading companies are legal, not fraudulent. A company registered as a trading business that sells you a product is doing exactly what its licence allows. That does not make it the right counterpart for a factory-direct order.

How RND SOURCING Treats Licence Checks

Every supplier in our network has been through this check in the last twelve months, and most have been through it within the last six. We share the licence image, the SAMR status screenshot and the Baidu Maps cross-check with any buyer who asks for them, in the same conversation as the quotation.

We also state the boundary clearly. The licence tells you who you are dealing with. It does not tell you whether the goods will arrive in acceptable condition. For that you need a written specification, a sample run, an inspection and the payment structure that keeps leverage with you until inspection passes.

If a supplier cannot produce a licence image within twenty-four hours, that is itself the most useful piece of information you will get about them.
