Why clients choose us
Four reasons this works when other sourcing arrangements don't.
A long-standing China partnership, not a cold contact.
With our team in China, we've spent 20+ years building direct factory relationships and running quality control on the ground. You cannot get that from a marketplace listing or a freelance agent.
A North American partner you can hold accountable.
We contract as a Canadian company, invoice in CAD, and answer in your time zone. One counterparty, fully responsible — not an anonymous account overseas and a hopeful email chain.
Transparent by design.
You see the real factory quotes. No hidden markups, no supplier kickbacks. Our commission is agreed in writing before each order and charged on product value only — one contract, one invoice, one point of accountability.
We de-risk, not just buy.
Supplier vetting and hands-on pre-shipment inspection make sure every product meets your specifications and quality expectations before it ever leaves the factory.
One team, working on both sides of the ocean.
Most sourcing agents are one person with a laptop. LinkTrus pairs a North American head office with a team in China, so you always know who is accountable and where your goods actually are.
North America
You contract with a Canadian company, invoiced in CAD. Same timezone, same business hours, same accountability you'd expect from any local vendor.
- Canadian-incorporated
- CAD invoicing
China
We visit factories, negotiate in Mandarin, and physically inspect your goods before they leave the port — our team has operated there for years, so you're never dealing with a freelance agent or a WeChat contact.
- Team on the ground in Yiwu
- 20+ years in-country
- On-site QC & factory audits
The practical difference: when something goes wrong at 2 a.m. North American time, we're already at the factory in China. When you need a signed contract or a Canadian invoice, our North American team handles it the same day.
Working with companies across the world.
From our team in China, we ship to businesses across Canada, the United States, the Gulf, India, North Africa and beyond — vetted suppliers, inspected goods, delivered to your door.
The problem
Importing from China shouldn't be a leap of faith.
First-time importers get burned in familiar ways. A supplier who looks credible online but cannot hold spec. A quote that quietly balloons once freight, duty, and brokerage land. A container that doesn't match the approved sample — discovered after it clears customs, when the leverage is gone.
The fix isn't cheaper goods. It's an accountable party standing between you and the factory floor: someone who has walked the plant, verified the business licence, checked the material certificates, and inspected the production run before it ships.
The process
Five steps from enquiry to delivered container.
BriefVettingQuoteInspectionDelivery
- BriefYou tell us what you need.
Product, target price, quantity, quality standard, and timeline. If you're already importing, send us the current unit price and we'll benchmark it.
- VettingWe identify and vet suppliers.
Business-licence verification, ownership checks, and the factory-versus-trader distinction. We visit shortlisted plants in person — production line, QC manager, workshop photos.
- QuoteYou compare real quotes.
We negotiate price, payment terms, and lead time in Mandarin, then bring you the actual factory quotations to compare. You approve in writing before production starts.
- InspectionWe inspect before it ships.
Sample-checked against your approved specification to agreed AQL tolerances, with a written photo-backed report — delivered while there is still time to fix problems.
- DeliveryWe coordinate delivery and documentation.
Freight, consolidation, import paperwork, and a real landed-cost number through to your agreed delivery point in North America.

Send us a product you already buy from China and we'll benchmark your unit price, flag supplier and quality risk, and show you where a factory visit or an alternate manufacturer could save you money. Don't have a supplier yet? Tell us the product or category you want to sell and we'll go find it. Either way you keep the report, and there's no obligation.
