SERVICES IN CHINA
One structured service network from enquiry to shipment.
CRINEO supports clients who want to source from China without
managing every supplier, negotiation and logistics step alone.
Services can be used individually or combined into a coordinated
procurement plan based on the product, quantity and level of
support required.
01
Free Quotation Service
Send us your product list, specifications, photos, preferred
quantity and destination. Our team reviews the request, sources
suitable options and prepares a structured quotation so you can
assess the commercial terms before proceeding with a purchase.
02
Product Sourcing
We search for products and suppliers that match your required
specifications, quantity, target quality and intended market.
This is suitable for both standard products and harder-to-find
items that require direct supplier communication.
03
Supplier Verification
Before you commit to a supplier, CRINEO can coordinate checks
on the supplier's business information, product capability and
transaction details. The aim is to give you better information
before making a procurement decision.
04
Price Negotiation
We communicate with suppliers on unit price, minimum order
quantity, packaging, customization, production terms and other
commercial points. Our role is to help structure a clearer,
commercially workable offer for the customer.
05
Quality Control
Quality-control support can be coordinated at appropriate stages
of the order to compare products with approved specifications,
quantities, packaging or agreed samples before shipment. The
exact inspection scope is confirmed for each engagement.
06
Factory Audit
For higher-value, repeat or sensitive orders, CRINEO can
coordinate a deeper factory assessment. Depending on the agreed
scope, this may cover production capability, facilities,
operating information and other supplier-level checks before a
major order is placed.
07
OEM Customization
Build products around your own brand. We coordinate discussions
covering logos, labels, packaging, colours, sizes, materials and
other manufacturer-supported customization requirements, subject
to supplier capability and minimum order quantities.
08
Sample Order
When available from the supplier, we can coordinate sample
purchasing before a larger commercial order. Samples can help
clients review product appearance, materials, sizing, packaging
or other important specifications before bulk production.
09
Wholesale & Bulk Import
CRINEO supports businesses purchasing commercial quantities from
China, including multi-product and multi-supplier orders. We can
coordinate supplier communication, purchasing, consolidation and
the logistics steps required to prepare goods for international
movement.
10
Logistics & Warehousing
We coordinate supplier deliveries, receiving, temporary storage,
cargo consolidation and freight preparation through the
applicable logistics facilities. Shipping arrangements are then
coordinated according to the cargo type, destination and agreed
transport method.
11
Service Fees & Plans
Customers do not need the same level of support on every order.
CRINEO can structure service plans around a single sourcing task,
verification or inspection support, or a broader end-to-end
procurement engagement. Scope, responsibilities and applicable
fees are confirmed before the paid stage begins.
Know what your quotation covers
We confirm the scope, applicable fees and separately charged items before you approve the paid stage.
- Sourcing review & quotation
- No upfront sourcing payment. Product purchasing begins after full payment, including the agreed service fee.
- Procurement, verification & inspection
- The quotation states the agreed services and their fees. Inspection, factory audits or extra services are included only when listed in your arrangement.
- Shipping support
- CRINEO's shipping-support service fee is 5% of the total shipping cost. The freight charge itself is separate; the final amount is confirmed using the warehouse measurements and applicable rate.
- International payment charges
- SWIFT, withdrawal and bank or payment-provider charges are stated separately from product costs and CRINEO service fees. Applicable charges and exchange rates are confirmed before payment.
- Local delivery
- Delivery within Ghana is charged separately according to the goods and destination. Confirm any duties, clearing, insurance or additional costs in your specific shipping arrangement.

Purchasing & Shipping Coordination
Once a quotation and order are approved, CRINEO can coordinate
purchasing with the supplier and the subsequent shipping
process. Product purchasing proceeds after the required order
payment has been received, while international freight charges
are confirmed according to the applicable shipping arrangement.
International payment charges
Please factor international payment charges into your purchase budget. These include:
- SWIFT transfer fees
- Withdrawal fees
- Bank or payment-provider charges on the total amount being sent
The applicable charges and exchange rate depend on the bank or payment provider and will be confirmed before payment.
Sharing charges on smaller orders
For smaller purchases, these fees can increase the overall cost. If you are willing to wait, we can combine your payment with other customers' payments so that the SWIFT and withdrawal fees are shared among participating customers.
Bank or payment-provider charges on your individual payment amount will still apply. We will confirm your share of the fees and the expected waiting period before proceeding.

Service availability, responsibilities, fees, inspection scope,
shipping arrangements and transaction terms are confirmed in the
applicable quotation, service arrangement and CRINEO policies.
