Field evidence / Record 04

See the work.
Not just the claims.

A short field record should show buyer meetings, factory visits, capability checks and sourcing follow-up in China.

Each route pre-selects a shorter sourcing brief so buyers do not start from an empty contact form.

Questions before commitment

Clear scope.
Fewer unknowns.

Answers in the live site should explain responsibility and limitations, not promise that all sourcing risk disappears.

Ask a project question

How does BSR verify whether a supplier is a real manufacturer?

Verification can combine business identity checks, site observations, production capability evidence and agreed third-party records. The exact scope is defined before work begins.

How is BSR’s commission calculated?

The proposal should show BSR’s service commission separately from the factory quotation and identify any agreed inspection, testing, freight or customs costs.

Can I use BSR only for factory verification or inspection?

Yes, a project may begin with a defined verification or inspection scope rather than a full sourcing engagement, subject to category and location review.

What should I include in a sourcing brief?

Include product specifications, drawings or reference files, target market, quantity, timing, required standards and the decision you need BSR to support.

Can BSR support my first import from China?

BSR can clarify the sourcing and supplier-coordination steps, while freight, customs, certification and legal responsibilities are agreed for each project and market.

Which industries does BSR focus on?

The prototype prioritises chemicals and coatings, plastics and polymers, appliances, machinery, and solar or energy equipment. Other categories are reviewed before acceptance.
