VIAQEX replaces the five separate vendors most Indian importers juggle — a sourcing agent, a translator, a freight forwarder, a CHA, and a compliance consultant — with a single advisory mandate that covers sourcing, Canton Fair, logistics, customs, and certification.
1. Ministry of Commerce & Industry (DGCI&S) trade data, FY 2025–26 — see TRADESTAT.
Most sourcing agents start at "execute" and hope you already know the rest. We built VIAQEX around the order Indian importers actually need it in.
Deep, current guides on HS codes, landed cost, GST and customs duty, Canton Fair logistics, and supplier vetting — written for the Indian importer, not the general exporter-to-anywhere reader.
Category-specific sourcing strategy: which cities and fairs fit your product, what a realistic landed cost looks like, and which certifications you need before you place a single order.
Supplier verification, sample management, freight, customs clearance, and last-mile delivery — run by VIAQEX under one contract, one point of contact, one invoice.
Engage VIAQEX for a single service or the full journey — every discipline is built to hand off cleanly into the next.
Vetted manufacturers, factory audits, and sample management — so you never wire money to a name on a screen.

The full path from "I want to import something" to a cleared shipment in your warehouse — IEC, sourcing, freight, duty, and the mistakes that sink first orders.
Read the guide 16 min readPhases, dates, visas, booth strategy, negotiation scripts, and the Yiwu Fair extension — everything before you book a flight to Guangzhou.
Read the guide 18 min readEvery line item between a factory quote and your actual cost per unit in India — duty, IGST, freight, insurance, and where importers get the sum wrong.
Read the guideEach category has its own sourcing hubs, its own regulators and its own ways of going wrong. Start with the one closest to your idea.
Chargers, earbuds, speakers, smart wearables and phone accessories: the Shenzhen supply chain, and the BIS and WPC checks that apply to most of it.
Read the category guideWhy toys are one of the most tightly regulated categories to import, where Chenghai and Yiwu fit, and what to sort out before you order.

Read the category guideFrom shortlist to your warehouse door — five stages, each with a named owner inside VIAQEX.
One contract, one invoice, one team — covering sourcing, freight, and customs, instead of five vendors who each blame the other when something goes wrong.
HS classification, BIS/FSSAI/WPC applicability, and duty exposure are reviewed before the purchase order is placed — not discovered when your container is stuck at Nhava Sheva.
Supplier cost, freight, duty, and our advisory fee are shown as separate line items on every quote — never bundled into a single opaque number.
Verification and negotiation support in Guangzhou, Yiwu, and the Shenzhen electronics clusters — not a WhatsApp number routed through a reseller.
Indian founders, D2C brands, traders and retailers importing from China, from a first order to regular volume. We are built for the importer who needs real guidance through sourcing, compliance, logistics and customs, rather than a catalogue and a WhatsApp number.
In general, yes. An Importer Exporter Code from DGFT is required to import goods for commercial purposes. Our IEC guide covers how to get one and the other registrations to sort out.
Fees are scoped to the work and quoted in writing before anything starts, with supplier cost, freight, duty and our fee shown as separate line items.
Yes. The guides, calculators and checklists are free and meant to be useful on their own.
Yes. If the landed cost does not work or the certification burden outweighs the margin, you will hear it before you spend money.
