01 — Import & Export

Trade in both directions,
with one accountable partner.

We source products for buyers from manufacturers worldwide, and we bring sellers — in Korea and beyond — to international buyers. Same team, same standards, either side of the deal.

06 — FAQ
Which countries do you work with?

We are based in Korea and operate in the United States, but we work with manufacturers and buyers worldwide — across Asia, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, the Americas and Oceania. If a market is new to us, we will tell you and scope the work accordingly.

What do you need to start a sourcing request?

A product description or specification, target quantity, target price if you have one, required certifications and your delivery timeline. Drawings, photos or reference samples help us move faster.

How do you verify suppliers?

Depending on the project: business registration and licence checks, certification review, trade references, sample evaluation, and on-site factory audits conducted by our team or trusted inspection partners.

I'm a manufacturer. Can you find buyers for my products abroad?

Yes. We connect Korean and international sellers with importers and distributors in the US and other markets, and support you through negotiation, documentation and shipping.

Do you work with small businesses?

Yes — from first-time importers testing a product to established companies consolidating their supply base.

Can you handle shipping and customs?

Yes. We coordinate freight, pre-shipment inspection, documentation and customs clearance with logistics partners for door-to-door delivery.
