SOURCING GUIDE

Where to source building materials in China

Compare suppliers, verify samples and budget for delivery before you place an order.

Start with the materials on your schedule

Foshan is a starting point for comparing tiles and stone, Guangzhou for broader wholesale sourcing, and Yiwu for smaller decorative items and accessories. Shortlist suppliers by product and specification so you can compare equivalent quotes.

Compare the cost delivered to your project

Ask each supplier to itemize quantities, packaging, freight terms and lead times. Allow for import duties, taxes, customs clearance and local delivery where they apply. Ask who handles replacement parts or damaged items before agreeing to an order.

Check samples against your requirements

Compare finish, dimensions and installation requirements against your drawings. Ask for documentation for the exact model where local standards apply. For large orders, agree on what will be checked before the goods are packed and shipped.
