CLEAR SCOPE, CLEAR FEE
Six practical ways to work together
Each engagement has a written deliverable and boundary before paid work begins. That protects your budget and keeps small projects commercially workable.
01No charge
Free project fit check
A practical first review to decide whether TruNexo is the right partner for your product, budget, timeline and destination market.
Included
- Review of one initial product brief
- Early feasibility and sourcing-risk flags
- A recommended service scope and next step
Not included automatically
Supplier names, supplier or export entity quotations, negotiation and a written sourcing report are not included at this stage.
02US$100 per confirmed search brief
Supplier search & shortlist
A defined research project for one SKU or one closely related product family—not an open-ended promise to keep searching indefinitely.
Included
- One requirements clarification round
- Up to three candidates compared on quotation, MOQ, lead time and basic business checks
- One replacement candidate at no extra research charge only if a candidate violates an original written mandatory requirement, fails verification, or becomes unavailable shortly after being presented
- The US$100 fee credited toward TruNexo's sourcing fee when the same confirmed product brief places an order within 60 calendar days after delivery of the research report
Not included automatically
Basic business checks cover available registration details, entity and address consistency, stated business scope and obvious commercial red flags. They are desk research—not legal, financial, tax or technical due diligence. Samples, onsite audits, inspection, freight and a new search after material changes are separate.

Factory visit & supplier audit
Choose a focused onsite visit or a fuller supplier audit, depending on the decision you need to make.
Included
- Basic visit: site and identity confirmation, focused observations, photos and short video evidence
- Full audit: deeper review of legal documents, production setup, capacity, quality controls and relevant certificates
- A written record tied to the agreed checklist
Not included automatically
The public starting price covers one supplier, one agreed site and the written checklist. Location, travel, time onsite, additional sites, specialist engineering review and laboratory certification are confirmed in the paid scope. A visit is not a guarantee of future supplier performance.
05From US$180 + travel
Pre-shipment inspection
A checkpoint for one agreed shipment at one supplier location before release, based on the written specifications and sampling scope.
Included
- Quantity, appearance, dimensions, labeling and packaging checks as specified
- Photo and video evidence
- A clear pass, hold or corrective-action finding against the agreed checklist
Not included automatically
Additional locations, expanded SKU or sampling scope, destructive testing, laboratory analysis, engineering certification and 100% unit inspection are not included unless written into the scope.
06Indicative from US$50 per accepted batch + actual costs
Sample consolidation
Bring samples from several candidate suppliers into one review and dispatch workflow before committing to a production order.
Included
- Receipt and basic package check
- Labeling and photo record
- Consolidated outbound shipment arranged to your address
Not included automatically
Each batch is accepted only after the supplier count, expected packages, approximate dimensions and weight, holding period and dispatch method are agreed in writing. Sample charges, delivery, courier, duties, special handling and technical evaluation remain buyer or third-party costs. Unapproved, restricted, hazardous or temperature-controlled items may be refused.
CUSTOMS RESPONSIBILITY
Coordination is not customs representation
The supplier or disclosed export entity acts as the declared exporter and handles the China export declaration directly if qualified, or through an appropriately registered customs broker; a freight forwarder may coordinate that process. The buyer or importer normally handles destination clearance, permits, duties and taxes through its local broker unless the goods contract expressly assigns them differently under an agreed Incoterms® rule. TruNexo can collect and cross-check agreed documents and follow the handoff, but is not the exporter, importer or customs broker and does not provide a final HS classification or legal guarantee of clearance.
PAYMENT PRINCIPLE
Goods payment and service fees stay separate.
You pay the original supplier's or disclosed export entity's verified official business account directly for the goods. The agreed TruNexo service fee is documented and charged separately under the accepted scope.
Every quotation should show three lines
- Goods seller: goods, tooling and sample charges
- Third parties: inspection, testing, freight and duties
- TruNexo: the disclosed service fee or commission
