Three hubs, one system
Where we work, and what each hub is good for.
Each hub has its own strengths, and its own questions from CBP and the EU. The system we build connects them, so your whole chain can be explained in one place.
China
Still the deepest supply chains in the world. Most products and most materials start here.
- Good for
- the widest range of products and components, and the deepest supplier base.
- What CBP and the EU look at here
- where every input comes from, through every tier of supplier.
- Where we are
- Guangzhou, Foshan, Yiwu, Shenzhen and Jinan.
Vietnam
A strong, growing second base. Many importers add Vietnam to a chain that is mostly in China.
- Good for
- apparel, footwear, furniture and electronics assembly.
- What CBP and the EU look at here
- whether the real manufacturing happens in Vietnam, with records to show it, especially when parts come from elsewhere.
- Where we are
- Ho Chi Minh City.
India
Growing fast with US and EU buyers. A deep base in materials and engineered goods.
- Good for
- textiles, metals and engineered goods.
- What CBP and the EU look at here
- proof of origin. Under the new EU–India trade deal, once it's ratified, exporters certify their own origin. That makes real proof more valuable, not less.
- Where we are
- Madurai, Tamil Nadu.

Which programs fit
Whichever hub you make in, the programs work the same way.
- See the chain. Mapping & Origin maps who makes what, in every hub.
- Add or move a factory. Production Move adds Vietnam or India, or moves a product.
- Build the system. Compliance System Build puts the supplier files and procedures in one place.
- Your own people. Local Team Setup puts a team of your own in a hub.
For month-to-month work with a supplier: China Agent Ltd in China, and Vietnam-Agent.com and India-Agent.com in those hubs.
Questions about our hubs
Which countries do you cover?
China, Vietnam and India. Other hubs, including Indonesia, Bangladesh and Malaysia, are scoped on request.
How do you work with factories in each hub?
Our teams sit down with your suppliers, face to face, explain what's needed and why, and help them get it right. That's how the records actually get handed over.
Can you help me add Vietnam or India to a chain that's in China?
Yes. Production Move qualifies factories in the new hub, sets the contracts and runs the first production under control, with origin records built in from the first sample. You sign with the factory directly, and we take nothing from them.
Why does it matter where the real manufacturing happens?
US customs decides a product's origin by where it was substantially transformed, not where it was last packed or shipped from. Goods assembled from parts made elsewhere may not count as made in the country they ship from. Clear production records show where the transformation actually happened.
Which hub is best for my product?
It depends on the product, the materials and your markets. We'll tell you what we see in a 30-minute meeting.
Do you give legal advice?
No. We build the supplier side: the records, files and structure. Your customs broker and trade counsel advise and file.
Not sure which hub fits?
Tell us what you make and where you sell it. We'll tell you what we see.
