Yamfaza is a China sourcing agent and business representation company based in China, with offices in Shanghai and Yiwu. We help international companies find and verify suppliers, inspect products, coordinate shipping, and represent their interests in meetings and negotiations in China. Our team works in Arabic, Russian, English, and Mandarin.

Look for an agent with a physical presence in China, verifiable staff, direct reporting (photos, video, written reports from the ground), and clear written scope before work begins. Be cautious of agents who only communicate through a single WhatsApp number, refuse to share supplier details, or can't show you evidence from factory visits. Yamfaza operates from offices in China with a named team you can meet.

A legitimate factory can show a valid business license, production facilities you can visit, and a consistent track record. Our Factory Validation Service checks licenses, visits the site, confirms real production capacity, and identifies undisclosed subcontracting — before you commit any money.

A trading company buys from factories and resells to you, so you rarely know the real supplier or the real price. A sourcing agent works on your behalf: you know the factory, you own the relationship, and the agent's fee is for the service they provide. Yamfaza works as your agent and representative — your interests are the only ones we represent.

It depends on the scope: order volume, product complexity, number of suppliers, and destination. Some engagements are priced per service (an inspection, a factory audit), others as a project or retainer. We agree the scope and fee in writing before work begins.

Yiwu, in Zhejiang province, is home to the world's largest wholesale market for small commodities — household goods, accessories, textiles, toys, hardware, and thousands of other categories.
