About » DTL Sourcing

DTL Sourcing have the contacts, systems, people and resources to source you the best deal in China.

Why Us?

How can I assess the quality of the product or service?
How can I find trustworthy suppliers and conduct business in another culture and language?

We understand the ordeal involved when it comes to fulfilling your sourcing needs in another country or region other than your own. We experienced this challenge ourselves whilst working for European companies who were trying to access the vast number of products being produced out of China. We recognised, identified and learned about the issues and great many nuances involved and from this experience created DTL Sourcing.

We deliver quality goods to your nearest Port, warehouse, factory, or even doorstep, all within a safe environment to execute what can seem a risky transaction. Our network of 500+ suppliers with a range of brands means we can provide you with many options so you can find the product that best suits your requirements. We understand that product specifications matter when you’re investing in something.

DTL Sourcing will:

Tender your product out
Validate potential suppliers
Provide you with samples
Negotiate prices for you
Perform stringent quality checks
Arrange delivery
