We walk factory floors in India so you don't have to. Factory checks, production monitoring, pre-shipment inspection — and we make sure your goods meet CPSC, FDA and Prop 65 rules before they ship.
A Texas furniture importer came to us after two containers arrived with warped tabletops. The samples had been perfect. Nobody checked the timber moisture during production. That one mistake cost him more than our fee for a full year.
That's the pattern we see again and again. Section 301 tariffs — 25% or more on Chinese goods — pushed US buyers toward India. Good move. But India has its own traps: factory claims that don't match reality, samples that look nothing like the bulk shipment, and a twelve-hour time gap that turns a simple question into a week of emails.
We're the people on the ground who close that gap. We check the factory before you pay a deposit. We watch production while it runs. We inspect before anything ships.
US Customs doesn't care that your supplier "promised" compliance. If the labels are wrong or the test reports don't exist, your container sits. We check this stuff at the factory — before you've paid the balance.
Selling furniture or kids' products? We'll ask your supplier for their CPSC test reports before you pay a deposit. If they can't produce them — or don't know what CPSC is — you'll know before your money is at risk, not after. Lead limits, phthalate limits, stability tests: we flag what's missing during the audit so you can get proper lab testing done in time.
For anything touching food or skin, FDA rules apply. We check the factory actually holds the certifications they claim — on paper and on the floor — instead of taking their word for it.
Selling in California? Prop 65 is the one that bites. Certain finishes, dyes and metal alloys trigger it. We spot the risky materials at the sampling stage — when swapping them costs almost nothing, not after 500 units are finished.
Wrong labels mean a held container. We check country-of-origin marks, textile care labels and your commercial invoice line by line during pre-shipment inspection. Boring work. Saves expensive delays.
We're based in Jodhpur, Rajasthan, and we've been doing this since 2012. We work for you — the buyer — not the factory. That matters: our job is to find problems, not hide them.
What it costs: 5–10% of your order value, or a fixed $1,500–$3,000 per month if you have ongoing volume. That's it. We put it in writing before any work starts. And we never take money from factories — if we did, whose side would we be on?
5–10% of order value, or $1,500–$3,000 a month for ongoing work. We quote in writing before starting. No hidden fees, no factory kickbacks — that's the whole point of hiring an independent agent.
We'll check what the factory has — or doesn't have — during the audit. If lab testing is needed, we arrange it with an accredited lab and you pay the lab directly. We don't mark it up.
Be honest with yourself here: production is usually 45–75 days, then 25–35 days by sea to New York, 30–40 to LA. India isn't faster than China. Budget the time and you won't be disappointed.
Both. Indian factories often take 100–500 piece orders — much friendlier than China's 1,000+ minimums. If you're a smaller brand, India can actually be easier.
You don't — that's why we go there first. We check their registrations, walk the floor, look at the machines, and send you photos. Then you decide.
Send your product, quantities and target price. We'll reply with an honest take on whether India is the right call — and what it would cost to do it properly.
