Simple Sourcing!
Simple Sourcing is our core sourcing service, providing quotes and introductions to the best suppliers for your product(s).

Manufacturing Supervision
Once production begins, issues always arise, but don’t worry–this is to be expected, and we can help. We supervise and monitor the production on your behalf and are ready to address the most common issue. We will keep you in the loop.
Add your pricing strategy. Be sure to include important details like value, length of service, and why it’s unique.
Trip Planning and Factory Visit
Many of our clients come to Vietnam to visit factories, and we can arrange your trip details. With Trip Planning, we schedule meetings with pre-qualified factories from the Sourcing Survey or Sourcing report. We’ll let you pick which ones and arrange them to optimize your time. We’ll also arrange a car and driver to pick you up from your hotel. We want to make your visit to Vietnam stress-free and productive.
Please note: Trips are only available around Ho Chi Minh City and nearby provinces. This service can only be added to the Vietnam sourcing and is NOT available by itself. Also, costs such as car rental are extra.
Shipping Quotes
When your product is ready, we work with a freight forwarder to ship your product to a final destination of your choice. These destinations include FBA prep centers, Amazon fulfillment centers, or any other destination you choose. We will provide a list of quotes from several freight forwarders and advise on how to get your product where you need it and on time.
Product Spec Sheet Creation
We have a wide network of designers who can make products for manufacturing product spec sheets. They will create a product spec sheet for your product and ensure that it is thorough enough to detail everything it needs while being read and understood by Chinese or Vietnamese manufacturers.
Factory Inspections and Audits
Cosmo will send someone to visit the factory, meet with the management, double-check its authenticity, and inspect all equipment to ensure the supplier can use it. While visiting the factory, we will complete a full and detailed factory audit and deliver a report. Note: For simple visual inspections, we will send our representative, but for more complex inspections, we will work with a third party.
Lab Testing and Certification
To import some products into the United States or elsewhere, you may need to get them tested and certified. We work with 3rd party labs to cover various testing certifications, including Furniture, Toys, Jewelry, Food contact, Candle, Juvenile Products, Packaging/transit tests covering REACH, CPSC, UL, BSCI, Environmental Sustainability, and much more. We will let you know what test your product needs and obtain them using our extensive partner network.
Additional Services
Sample Consolidation & Evaluation
In most cases, the client will have samples shipped to them; however, if you wish for us to receive and evaluate samples, we can do that for you as well. In addition, we handle communication with the supplier to find ways to fix any flaws discovered while reviewing the samples.
