You hand over a specification. You receive the product at your dock.
In between, everything is handled: factories, negotiation, production, inspection, consolidation, transport, customs formalities with our partners. Nothing to manage, nothing to chase, nothing to translate.
- Fees known upfront
- No markup on the ex-works price
What you will never have to do yourself again.
- Find, visit and audit factories 10,000 km away
- Negotiate in Chinese; supplier contract and NNN agreement under Chinese law drafted with a partner Chinese law firm, signed by you
- Chase samples and production dates
- Inspect every batch before it ships
- Pay every factory, in foreign currencies, transfer by transfer: NOVASEA Hong Kong pays your suppliers on your behalf, on a single invoice
- Check your packaging and markings at the factory, print proof signed off before mass printing
- Have your products photographed: our photographer shoots them in our Shenzhen studio or at the factory, on the inspected units, usually delivered during ocean freight, according to the schedule agreed in the quote
- Write and translate your product listings for each sales channel
- Prepare your units for your channel (Amazon or 3PL) before they leave China, on request
- Consolidate your orders to fill a container
- Book freight and clear customs through our licensed partner freight forwarder or customs broker, all the way to your dock
Everything we take care of, step by step.
Bilingual specification drafted with you, 3 to 5 factories visited and audited, compared quotes, landed cost calculated, negotiation; supplier contract and NNN agreement under Chinese law prepared with a partner law firm, signed by you.
With NOVASEA, here's what changes.
| With NOVASEA | Without NOVASEA | |
|---|---|---|
| Contacts | A dedicated project manager, in your time zone | Agent, factories, freight forwarder, customs broker, lab… |
| Contracts | A service contract NOVASEA in your jurisdiction; supplier contracts drawn up with a partner law firm | Chinese contracts that are hard to enforce |
| Specification | Written down to the last detail, signed by the factory | An email and a few photos |
| Quality | Salaried inspectors, AQL, rework at the factory's expense | "Trust us" |
| Payments | A single invoice NOVASEA, your suppliers paid on your behalf | One international transfer per factory, in USD or RMB |
| Logistics | One consolidated container, one delivery to your dock | Multiple shipments, multiple invoices |
| Your role | Decide, approve, receive | Chase, translate, check, worry |
Ultra meticulous, on principle.
Every detail in writing
Materials, dimensions, tolerances, colors, markings, packaging: nothing is left to interpretation.
Every detail verified
Our inspectors follow the checklist derived from your specification, photo by photo.
Every discrepancy addressed
Reported the same day, corrected at the factory's expense, re-inspected. No non-conforming batch ships.
Every decision documented
Sample approved, batch accepted, shipment authorized: everything is time-stamped in Bridge.
Questions about the end-to-end service.
What do I actually have to do?
Approve the specification, choose from the factories and quotes presented, approve samples and reports in Bridge, receive the goods. Our teams do the rest.
Do I have to pay each factory myself?
No: NOVASEA Hong Kong pays your suppliers on your behalf. You receive a single invoice, in EUR, USD, GBP or HKD: the actual ex-works price, with supplier invoices attached, plus our fees. Each milestone (deposit, then balance after a compliant inspection) is verified before the factory is paid.
What if I need a company or import setup (Hong Kong, China)?
On request, we carry out an operational assessment. The filings are handled by independent licensed partners (in Hong Kong, a TCSP-licensed provider), with whom you contract directly. General information, not legal or tax advice.
What if something goes wrong?
That's our job: we resolve the issue with the factory or the carrier, under the negotiated contracts, and keep you informed.
How much does it cost?
From 8% to 3% of the purchase value depending on your volumes, or a flat-fee annual program. No markup on the ex-works price; ancillary costs billed at cost, with receipts.
A specification to hand off? We take care of the rest.
