What a Silk Way tour around this show adds

We pair your Intertextile days with mill visits and verification for the fabric suppliers you shortlist on the floor — so a promising swatch becomes a checked, sample-confirmed order.

The risks of sourcing from China — and how we remove them

Every importer faces the same handful of failure points. Here's what each one is, and what we do about it.

1Paying a trader's hidden markup

We verify the supplier is the actual manufacturer and show the factory price separately from our fee, so you never overpay a middleman.

2A 'factory' that turns out to be a shell company

We check business licenses, capacity and history, and visit the site in person before you commit a single payment.

3Losing the deposit to fraud

Funds go to Silk Way Sourcing under one contract, not to an unknown account, and the balance is tied to an inspection you approve.

4Receiving goods that don't match the sample

An independent pre-shipment inspection checks quantity, dimensions and quality against your spec, with a photo report, before anything ships.

5Goods stuck at customs over paperwork

We prepare and handle export and customs documentation end to end, so shipments clear without costly holds.
