Cosmo Sourcing Services
Vietnam, Mexico, China, Southeast Asia, and Beyond Product Sourcing
Each project covers a single product category, meaning a group of related items that the same type of factory can produce. If your project includes products requiring different manufacturers, those would be treated as separate projects.
After reviewing your product requirements, we identify and vet a range of qualified factories through our internal network and targeted outreach. All suppliers are pre-qualified based on their experience, capabilities, reliability, and our client's requirements for price and quality. All projects are tariff-aware.
We then prepare a tailored Request for Quote (RFQ) and contact qualified manufacturers directly. You will typically receive 2 to 6 competitive quotes per product category, with detailed information on pricing, lead times, MOQs, and factory background.
From there, we’ll introduce you to any of your chosen factories. Once introductions are made, we continue to support you through the sampling phase, helping coordinate samples and refine specifications as needed.

Our goal is to ensure your product arrives safely and on time. We gather quotes from multiple freight forwarders, giving options based on cost, speed, and service quality. We’ll guide you through the selection process, offering insights to help you make the best choice for your shipping needs.
By managing the logistics and coordinating with trusted partners, we make the final steps of your sourcing journey smoother and more efficient. Let us handle the details so you can focus on growing your business!
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 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 third-party labs to cover various testing certifications, including Furniture, Toys, Jewelry, Food contact, Candles, Juvenile Products, REACH, CPSC, UL, BSCI, Environmental Sustainability, and more. We will let you know what tests your product needs and obtain them using our extensive partner network.
Additional Services
Sample Consolidation & Evaluation
Typically, clients choose to have samples shipped directly to them for evaluation. However, if you prefer, we can receive the samples on your behalf and perform a thorough quality assessment. This option is especially useful when you want local expertise to inspect the product before it reaches you.
Once we receive the samples, we carefully evaluate them against your specifications, identifying any flaws or quality issues. If problems are found, we promptly communicate with the supplier to address and resolve them, suggesting necessary improvements or adjustments.
By managing the sample evaluation process locally, we help ensure quality while saving you time and effort.
