CP-02Manufacturer Sourcing

We find and vet manufacturer candidates against Korean regulatory criteria.

We identify and review OEM/ODM manufacturer candidates that fit your product requirements and Korean registration criteria — including whether the manufacturer data Korean approval requires can actually be obtained. China is our primary sourcing ground, with Taiwan and Southeast Asia covered by product type. Sourcing-stage documents flow straight into the registration track.

CP-02For Whom

Who this is for

Brands without their own factory

You can plan and sell the product, but you need an OEM/ODM manufacturer to build it.

Companies unsure about Chinese manufacturers

You found candidates via Alibaba or trade shows, but can't verify their quality systems or certification readiness.

Teams whose sourcing and registration don't talk

You chose a manufacturer, then discovered it can't meet Korean registration criteria — and had to start over.

FAQQuestions

Frequently asked questions

Why should registration be considered at the sourcing stage?

Two functionally identical products can differ completely in Korean registrability, depending on the manufacturer's quality system and test data. Discovering the mismatch after selection means sourcing all over again. We review regulatory fit while vetting candidates.

Do you do on-site inspections?

Yes. When the quality review calls for it, we accompany site visits. Travel costs (airfare, lodging) are billed at actuals and disclosed in advance.

We already chose a manufacturer — can you just vet them?

Yes. We can scope the engagement to reviewing your candidate's quality systems, documents, and regulatory fit, and connect straight into registration afterward.

Just send the product details.
