Get Started With Importivity
Two ways to begin, whichever fits where you are. Either one puts you in front of a sourcing expert, not a form that disappears.
Submit a sourcing request
Best if you know your product. Send us your specs and targets and we'll come back with a cost breakdown and supplier options.
Book a call
Best if you want to talk it through. Get 30 minutes with a sourcing expert to map your product, timeline, and landed cost.
What Happens Next
A clear path from first contact to landed inventory.
Tell us what you need
Share your product, volumes, target price, and timeline through an RFQ or on a call.
We map the plan
We identify vetted factories and share transparent pricing and a tariff-aware landed cost before any samples.
Sample and validate
A small deposit funds samples so you can confirm quality before committing to production.
Produce, inspect, ship
We coordinate production, multi-stage QC, and logistics through final delivery to your door.
You've been importing long enough to know what hurts.
Three things show up in almost every consultation we run with brands already importing internationally. Read them and decide whether the call is worth 30 minutes.
Mystery markup
You don't actually know your unit cost. Most importers operate on a single bundled quote: factory cost, freight, middleman cut, and margin all rolled into one number. Reconstructing where the dollars actually go, or knowing whether a quoted price drop is real, is nearly impossible from the outside.
- How we fix it: Every OTC and white-label program we run is priced on pure cost-plus. You see actual factory cost and our published markup as separate, documented line items on every PO. When factory cost moves, you see it. When we negotiate freight down, you see it. Nothing bundled, nothing buried.
Late QC
Defects arrive with the container. By the time you realize 8% of the run is unsellable, the goods are already at your warehouse, the factory has been paid, and your remedies are gone.
- How we fix it: Inline inspection during production. Pre-shipment inspection against your golden sample. On-the-ground oversight by our team in Qingdao, Shenzhen, and other hubs.
Hidden costs
Tariffs and duties wreck your margin. Section 301 review. HTS classification mistakes. Country-of-origin questions. First Sale rule eligibility you never claimed. Most importers leave a lot of money on the customs floor.
- How we fix it: Active tariff strategy, HTS review, origin engineering, and First Sale structuring built into every program. Not an add-on, not a separate invoice.
One partner. The full import program.
Finding a factory is the easy part. The 50+ decisions between your spec and your shelf are where your margin gets won or lost. We run all six phases.
Strategy & Sourcing
Country selection across China, Vietnam, India, Pakistan, Japan, Mexico, and the U.S. Factory shortlisting from 1,000+ vetted partners, cost benchmarking, and supply chain mapping.
Development & Sampling
Sample procurement, golden sample lock, tooling and mold oversight, and prototyping coordination. We manage the sample cycle until quality matches your standard.
Contracts & IP
Manufacturer agreements, NDAs, IP protection clauses, payment term negotiation, and non-circumvention coverage. Written by people who have seen what goes wrong.
Production & QC
Inline inspection, pre-shipment inspection, production monitoring, and on-the-ground oversight at the factory. Defects caught before shipment, not at your dock.
Logistics & Import
Freight coordination, customs clearance, HTS classification, tariff strategy, and importer of record support. Your goods land cleanly.
Optimization & Resilience
Plus-one supplier development, ongoing price renegotiation, continuous cost engineering, and market intelligence. Optimization is the relationship, not a project.
Two tracks. Both visible before you sign.
We do not hide our margin or bury commissions in your unit cost. Your track and rate sit in your engagement letter before any work begins.
OTC & White-Label: 10% → 2%
Published cost-plus markup that steps down as your lifetime spend grows. Commodity programs as low as 2%. For over-the-counter products you are white-labeling: your logo, your branding, no engineering changes. You pay actual factory cost plus our published markup, documented as separate line items on every PO. The math is visible. The savings are verifiable.
Custom Projects: True landed cost
One transparent number you can build a P&L on. Unit price, freight, duties, every line that hits your invoice. For custom-developed, engineered, or modified products. We map spec, complexity, and scope in a discovery meeting, then deliver a single landed-cost figure you can price your SKU and plan your margin against. Prototyping starts at $5,000 when needed.
Our clients build real businesses.
Three of them, public. Many more under NDA.
From the first sample to the final container, Importivity ran a process I could actually see. Markup was on the table before I signed.
They negotiated three rounds of price increases away before they ever hit my invoice. That alone is worth the partnership.
Got us from rough prototype to a launch-ready product without ever feeling like we lost control of the IP or the timeline.
What you get that direct sourcing and project agencies don't give you.
True landed cost: you build your business on real numbers.
We model your true landed cost before you commit: unit price, freight, duties, tariffs, every line that hits your books. You price your SKU, plan your margin, and forecast working capital on numbers that match what actually ships, not numbers that get rewritten at the dock.
Pricing you can verify: OTC programs run on documented cost-plus.
On white-label programs you see actual factory cost and our markup as separate line items on every PO. The markup percentage is locked in your engagement letter before any work starts. Custom programs run on a single landed-cost figure, with prototyping, design, and engineering quoted separately at published rates.
People on the ground: QC is run in person, not by email.
Inline and pre-shipment inspections happen at the factory, by our team, against your golden sample. Issues trigger rework, not returns.
The relationship is the product: you don't restart from zero every PO.
Renegotiations, plus-one supplier development, quarterly cost reviews, and tariff strategy are built in. We earn the loyalty discount back in savings.
