Webinar 2 - Finding suppliers from Pakistan: 1688.com and factory vs. trader

Topic: Finding suppliers from Pakistan: 1688.com and factory vs. trader Time: Sep 12, 2026 07:30 PM Islamabad, Karachi, Tashkent Join Zoom Meeting https://us06web.zoom.us/j/82362217600?pwd=1bmTJDeYpRsMJR1I8rYdIveyb4iNmB.1 Meeting ID: 823 6221 7600 Passcode: 590363 What 1688.com is and why it matters: China's domestic wholesale platform, where Alibaba.com suppliers buy from; price gap explained Live walkthrough: navigating 1688 in Chinese (translation tools), searching by image, reading a listing, understanding domestic MOQs and prices, spotting the 厂家 (factory) label Using 1688 for research before the fair: benchmark pricing for the products you'll see at Canton Fair, so no exhibitor can quote you blind Manufacturer vs. trader: how to tell in 60 seconds online (business licence scope, product range breadth, factory photos, address) and in 5 minutes at a booth (ask about the production line, the mould, the raw material supplier) When a trader is the right choice anyway: small MOQs, mixed orders, Yiwu, export handling How our Guangzhou team verifies a factory before you land — and what you can verify yourself on a factory visit Homework: Find 5 products on 1688 in your category with prices; classify 10 shortlisted Canton Fair exhibitors as factory/trader/unsure.

Webinar 3 · Negotiating and signing with a Chinese supplier

How Chinese suppliers negotiate: relationship before price, the first quote is never the price, volume roadmaps beat one-off haggling What to negotiate beyond unit price: MOQ, payment terms, lead time, packaging, tooling ownership, defect allowance, exclusivity for Pakistan Reading a quotation: EXW / FOB / CIF and what each one hides The negotiation script for a first meeting — with translator briefing Signing an agreement: proforma invoice vs. purchase contract; the clauses that matter (product spec, QC standard, delivery date, penalty, payment schedule, dispute city); Chinese company chop, bilingual contracts, why the Chinese name on the contract must match the bank account Red flags that mean walk away Homework: Draft your negotiation targets (walk-away price, ideal MOQ, terms) for your top 3 suppliers; review the ChinaChallo contract template.

Webinar 5 — Selling directly to the USA

Sample strategy: pre-production sample, golden sample, pre-shipment sample — what each is for Evaluating a sample: spec checklist, measure/weigh/test, photograph and label, compare against 1688 benchmark, sign the golden sample with the supplier QA assurance: inspection at production, pre-shipment inspection (AQL basics), third-party inspection agencies, never releasing balance before the report Paying Chinese vendors with safety: lawful channels from Pakistan (bank LC / TT under import rules), what documents the supplier must give you, what your bank will ask for Deposit structures (30/70, 50/50), paying only to the company account named on the contract, never to a personal WeChat/Alipay for orders Common payment scams and how delegates fall for them; escrow-style protection where available Homework: Open the import-payment conversation with your bank; complete the sample evaluation checklist for any samples you already own.
