Five stages from product brief to client warehouse
The final scope depends on the product, quantity, risks and Saudi market-entry requirements.
01
Brief, sourcing and connection
We convert your requirements into a sourcing brief, identify suitable suppliers and open a direct communication channel.
- Product, specifications, quantity and budget
- Source suppliers and factories
- Initial comparison of quotes and MOQs
- Connect client and supplier on WeChat to finalise products
02
Verification and negotiation
Once products are selected, we verify the counterparty and negotiate improved commercial terms.
- Review company information, registration and available risks
- On-site verification when required
- Negotiate price, quantity and payment terms
- Confirm production, packing and customisation schedule
03
Approval, contracts and payment
Production starts only after the client approves pricing and specifications and responsibilities are documented in the contracts.
- Client approval of the final offer
- Saudi contract between SinoLine and the client
- Purchase contract with the factory or supplier
- Transfer in Saudi Arabia or China under the contract
- Pay the factory deposit and open the production order
04
Production, inspection and corrective action
We monitor manufacturing and send an inspection company before final factory payment and shipment.
- Monitor production, packing and readiness
- Independent inspection with photos and measurements
- Send the report before final payment
- Request factory corrective action when findings arise
- Client approval or reinspection when needed
05
Shipping, documentation and arrival
After approval, we select the most suitable route and prepare the shipment file for export and arrival.
- Full container or sea/air door-to-door
- China export customs clearance
- Commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading or telex release
- Prepare available documents for Saudi clearance
- Connect with a licensed customs broker or SABER provider when needed

Delivery at port of shipment
The factory arranges transport to the port, export procedures and loading according to the agreed delivery point.
Shipping decision
The lowest freight rate is not always the lowest total cost
Before recommending a route, we compare freight cost, transit time, cargo size, delay risk, handling and clearance requirements.
