No need to hire an import/export team or build factory relationships from scratch. DA Global Sourcing operates as your own sourcing – import/export department, billed per actual project instead of the fixed cost of a permanent department.
Building an in-house import/export department takes time to hire staff and build factory relationships — outsourcing lets you use an existing network right away.
| Criteria | Build an in-house department | Outsource to DA Global Sourcing |
|---|---|---|
| Time to results | Months of hiring & training | Start as soon as you have a need |
| Supplier network | Built from zero | Already in place across Southeast Asia & 50+ countries |
| Cost | Fixed (salaries, overhead) regardless of order volume | Based on actual project / order |
| Staff turnover risk | Factory relationships lost when staff leave | Relationships belong to the company, not one individual |
You currently distribute other brands and want to take control of your supply, developing your own branded products (OEM/private label) but don't yet have factory relationships.
See example: OEM Lubricants →You need to import raw materials or goods to a defined specification, not necessarily under your own brand, and want a single point of contact to manage the whole process.
See example: importing wood →Importing African round logs, US sawn timber and New Zealand pine for domestic wood processors.
See category →Developing private-label lubricant lines for parts dealers, garages and maintenance chains.

No. DA Global Sourcing never asks suppliers to pay any fee upfront.
The outsourced XNK department model applies to many categories. Dedicated category pages are being added over time — for a category without its own page yet, contact us directly to discuss your needs.
It depends on the category and complexity — from sourcing to delivery typically takes a few weeks to a few months, especially for products that need sample development (OEM).
Share your needs — we respond with a suitable sourcing plan as soon as possible.
