Our Commercial Model Explained

We separate the initial sourcing assignment from product procurement so you have complete flexibility without conflicting fees.

Layer 1 • Initial Scope

Custom Sourcing Fee

Calculated starting from $300 based on the number of products requested. This covers the active investigation, Vietnamese market research, supplier screening, spec matching, and preliminary qualification deliverables.

What you receive: A comprehensive sourcing report with vetted manufacturer options, commercial terms, MOQ, and sample availability. You retain full freedom to stop here with zero further obligation.
Layer 2 • Execution (Optional)

Trading Margin

Applies only if you decide to proceed with commercial orders through Mekong Origin. This margin is built transparently into the final export quotation (FOB / CIF) to cover ongoing execution.

What it covers: Order placement, contract enforcement, pre-shipment quality inspection, export documentation (Phyto, C/O, B/L), and shipping line coordination.

No Double Charges: The sourcing fee compensates our dedicated time and local research. The trading margin covers export operations and risk management if you choose to buy through us. These are separate service layers.

Factory Visits & Physical Supplier Verification

Before committing substantial capital to a new Vietnamese supplier, having an independent, bilingual team physically walk the factory floor provides invaluable assurance.

We travel directly to manufacturing plants across Vietnam to observe operating conditions, review machinery and storage standards, interview production directors, and compile comprehensive verification reports with high-resolution photos and video where permitted.

Common Sourcing Questions

Everything you need to know about our Vietnam sourcing assignments, deliverables, and commercial models.

Yes, absolutely. That is the core purpose of our Custom Vietnam Sourcing service. While our core trading catalogue focuses on Vietnamese coffee, dried fruits, and frozen fruits, our sourcing desk is dedicated to identifying and qualifying manufacturers for products outside our catalogue—such as dehydrated vegetables, food ingredients, spices, specialty agricultural commodities, and OEM packaging.
No. The custom sourcing assignment fee pays for our operational research, supplier identification, spec verification, and comparative reporting. Once we deliver the qualification report, you are under no obligation to place commercial orders. If you do decide to purchase, you can choose to execute through Mekong Origin for seamless end-to-end purchasing and export logistics.
No. We do not sell raw supplier contact databases or unvetted contact lists. Mekong Origin operates as your dedicated local sourcing partner and intermediary throughout the assignment. We research, screen, and qualify suppliers against your exact specifications, coordinate commercial discussions, collect sample requirements, and present structured comparison reports.
Yes. We provide on-site factory visits and preliminary verification across Vietnam. Our team inspects facility cleanliness, production lines, machinery, storage conditions, and verifies physical licensing. We document the visit with photos and videos where permitted by the factory. Factory visits are quoted separately based on location, travel distance, and complexity. Please note that specialized accredited laboratory testing and formal ISO/BRC auditing require third-party certification bodies.
Yes. We regularly assist international brands with private label (OEM) product development in Vietnam. We identify factories equipped with appropriate packaging lines (stick packs, sachets, tin cans, glass jars, retort pouches, or branded cartons), coordinate artwork printing proofs, and align formulation parameters.
Custom product sourcing fees are calculated transparently based on the number of distinct product specifications you require:
  • 1 to 3 products: $300 flat assignment fee.
  • 4 to 6 products: $450 flat assignment fee.
  • 7 or more products: Custom quote based on project scope and category complexity.
Final pricing is confirmed after we review your exact technical sheets. Physical visits, sample courier charges, or lab testing are quoted separately.
If you choose to proceed with purchasing through Mekong Origin, we manage the entire export procurement cycle. We coordinate purchase contracts, supervise pre-shipment quality inspections (or coordinate third-party inspection agencies such as SGS/Intertek), oversee export customs clearance in Vietnam, prepare official documentation (Certificate of Origin, Phytosanitary Certificate, Bill of Lading), and handle freight forwarding. A trading margin is included directly in the formal FOB/CIF product quotation.
