Sourcing Agent vs. DIY: What Fits You?

Not a sales quiz rigged to end in "talk to us." Eight honest questions about your product, budget, and time — the answer might genuinely be "go direct."

Have you imported from China before?
How much time can you personally give this?
What's the order value for this shipment?
Does your product likely need certification (BIS / FSSAI / WPC)?
How confident are you evaluating a Chinese supplier's legitimacy?
If a shipment gets held at Indian customs, what's your plan?
Is this a one-off test order, or the start of a repeat supply chain?
What matters most to you right now?

Why we built a quiz that might tell you not to hire us

A lot of "should you use an agent" content online is written by agencies with an obvious incentive to say yes every time. This one isn't — if your answers point to DIY, we say DIY, and point you at the free guides and templates to do it properly. We'd rather you trust the recommendation than convert on this page specifically.
