From the factory to final delivery — one team watching the whole order.
Find and verify suppliers in China and Türkiye, coordinate payments and paperwork from Dubai, and move goods to Iran, Central Asia and the Gulf. Take one stage or the whole process.
For importers, exporters, manufacturers and trading businesses.
QAA Trade Services is one team for the practical side of international purchasing: finding and checking suppliers, coordinating samples, orders and payments, then receiving, consolidating and shipping the cargo. Sourcing and inspection happen mainly in China and Türkiye; Dubai is where contracts, payments and onward shipping are coordinated. Hand us one stage or the whole process — scope and cost are agreed before work begins.

Whether you need a supplier or already have an order in motion, start where you are.
Identify and compare suppliers against your product requirements.
Start here 02Get support with your order, inspections, payments and delivery.
Start here 03Choose one or more stages to delegate to QAA.
Start hereEvery request can cover Selected services or Full process management. Full-process support is still tailored to your order: you tell us which stages matter and we confirm the scope with you.
Eight service groups, each available on its own or as part of a managed assignment. Open a group for the detail.
Find suppliers that match your product specification, order size and commercial requirements. We collect quotations, compare options and coordinate initial negotiations and samples.
Review supplier information, arrange factory visits and inspect goods against agreed requirements. Receive a report of findings, discrepancies and items requiring attention.
Routine inspection and specialist laboratory testing are separate scopes. An inspection reports what was found against the agreed checklist; it is not a certification or a quality guarantee.
Coordinate samples, confirm order details and follow production through to readiness for shipment. Keep supplier communication, changes and the next action organized.
Sample acceptance depends on the item and the route.
Arrange commercial payments to suppliers in China, Türkiye, the UAE and other origins, in the currency the deal requires (CNY, AED, TRY, USD, EUR and others), with the amount, exchange rate, service charges and required documentation agreed for each request.
For each payment we need the proforma or commercial invoice, beneficiary details and the purpose of payment. Payments are made only against verified commercial transactions and documentation.
No rates are quoted and no payment is made through this website. QAA never asks for bank passwords or login details.
Receive goods into warehouses in China and the UAE, combine purchases from multiple suppliers and prepare them for shipment. Hold inventory and release it in stages to match your requirements.
Handling and storage terms are agreed in advance. Facilities may be operated by QAA's operating partners.
Coordinate collection and international transport according to the cargo, route and delivery requirements. Support covers consolidated and larger shipments, with air, sea or road options where suitable.
Every shipment follows the customs and documentation procedures that apply to its route.
Coordinate cargo insurance, destination transport and proof of delivery. If damage or shortage occurs, help document and follow the claim under the agreed insurance cover.
QAA coordinates the insurance; the insurer's policy governs how a claim is settled.
Review commercial and shipping documents, coordinate required approvals and follow customs procedures for the agreed route. Resolve missing or inconsistent information before it interrupts the shipment.
Clearance depends on the goods, documents and route; no clearance outcome is guaranteed.
Four steps, whichever services you choose.
The service, the product or order context, the route and your timing.
Deliverables, responsibilities, costs and estimated timings, set out before you commit.
Once you accept the assignment: a designated contact, stage updates and agreed changes.
Service-specific completion evidence, delivery where included, and a final reconciliation.
Completion evidence depends on what you commissioned: a payment receipt or status for a payment, an assessment report for a supplier check, a delivery acknowledgment where delivery is part of the scope.
The report you receive at the end of Sourcing & Supplier Selection, shown with a worked example. Suppliers are named A, B and C and every figure is hypothetical.
Illustrative example — not a real supplier assessment
| What is compared | Supplier A | Supplier B | Supplier C |
|---|---|---|---|
| Country / region | China (Zhejiang) | China (Guangdong) | Türkiye (Istanbul) |
| Registration check | Licence matches manufacturer | Licence matches; trading company in front | Licence matches manufacturer |
| Specification match | Full | Partial — 0.8 mm offered vs 1.0 mm | Full |
| MOQ | 300 pcs | 500 pcs | 150 pcs |
| Price basis | FOB Ningbo | FOB Shenzhen | EXW Istanbul |
| Lead time | 30 days | 25 days | 20 days |
| Payment terms | 30% deposit / 70% before shipment | 30% / 70% | 50% / 50% |
| Samples | Available, 7 days | Available, paid | Available, 10 days |
| Certificates | Claimed, not yet verified | None provided | Provided |
| Main risk | Certificate to be verified | Thickness below spec | Higher unit cost |
Supplier A for price and full specification match, subject to certificate verification; Supplier C as backup for a shorter lead time.
Who does what next: samples, negotiation points, inspection before shipment.
A comparison of the information gathered at that date. It does not guarantee a supplier's performance, quality or delivery; inspection and contract terms remain separate steps.
Sourcing from China and Türkiye, commercial coordination from Dubai and delivery to Iran and Central Asia form the core of the QAA Trade Services network.
The route, the services required and how each order is carried out are assessed against the type of goods, origin, destination and deal terms, and confirmed before work begins.
ORIGINS
