China Vietnam India Pakistan Japan Mexico United States

China-direct, Asia diversification, nearshore Mexico, or U.S. domestic. We run programs wherever the math works for your product. That includes structured plus-one sourcing for brands looking to de-risk single-country tariff exposure without giving up the cost basis of their primary supplier.

If This Sounds Familiar

You've been importing long enough to know what hurts.

Three things show up in almost every consultation we run with brands already importing internationally. Read them and decide whether the call is worth 30 minutes.

Mystery markup

You don't actually know your unit cost.

Most importers operate on a single bundled quote: factory cost, freight, middleman cut, and margin all rolled into one number. Reconstructing where the dollars actually go, or knowing whether a quoted price drop is real, is nearly impossible from the outside.

How we fix it Every OTC and white-label program we run is priced on pure cost-plus. You see actual factory cost and our published markup as separate, documented line items on every PO. When factory cost moves, you see it. When we negotiate freight down, you see it. Nothing bundled, nothing buried.
Late QC

Defects arrive with the container.

By the time you realize 8% of the run is unsellable, the goods are already at your warehouse, the factory has been paid, and your remedies are gone.

How we fix it Inline inspection during production. Pre-shipment inspection against your golden sample. On-the-ground oversight by our team in Qingdao, Shenzhen, and other hubs.
Hidden costs

Tariffs and duties wreck your margin.

Section 301 review. HTS classification mistakes. Country-of-origin questions. First Sale rule eligibility you never claimed. Most importers leave a lot of money on the customs floor.

How we fix it Active tariff strategy, HTS review, origin engineering, and First Sale structuring built into every program. Not an add-on, not a separate invoice.
The Program

One partner. The full import program.

Finding a factory is the easy part. The 50+ decisions between your spec and your shelf are where your margin gets won or lost. We run all six phases.

Phase 01

Strategy & Sourcing

Country selection across China, Vietnam, India, Pakistan, Japan, Mexico, and the U.S. Factory shortlisting from 1,000+ vetted partners, cost benchmarking, and supply chain mapping.

Phase 02

Development & Sampling

Sample procurement, golden sample lock, tooling and mold oversight, and prototyping coordination. We manage the sample cycle until quality matches your standard.

Phase 03

Contracts & IP

Manufacturer agreements, NDAs, IP protection clauses, payment term negotiation, and non-circumvention coverage. Written by people who have seen what goes wrong.

Phase 04

Production & QC

Inline inspection, pre-shipment inspection, production monitoring, and on-the-ground oversight at the factory. Defects caught before shipment, not at your dock.

Phase 05

Logistics & Import

Freight coordination, customs clearance, HTS classification, tariff strategy, and importer of record support. Your goods land cleanly.

Phase 06

Optimization & Resilience

Plus-one supplier development, ongoing price renegotiation, continuous cost engineering, and market intelligence. Optimization is the relationship, not a project.

Pricing

Two tracks. Both visible before you sign.

We do not hide our margin or bury commissions in your unit cost. Your track and rate sit in your engagement letter before any work begins.

Track 01

OTC & White-Label

10% → 2%
Published cost-plus markup that steps down as your lifetime spend grows. Commodity programs as low as 2%.

For over-the-counter products you are white-labeling: your logo, your branding, no engineering changes. You pay actual factory cost plus our published markup, documented as separate line items on every PO. The math is visible. The savings are verifiable.

Track 02

Custom Projects

True landed cost
One transparent number you can build a P&L on. Unit price, freight, duties, every line that hits your invoice.

For custom-developed, engineered, or modified products. We map spec, complexity, and scope in a discovery meeting, then deliver a single landed-cost figure you can price your SKU and plan your margin against. Prototyping starts at $5,000 when needed.

Proof

Our clients build real businesses.

Three of them, public. Many more under NDA.

From the first sample to the final container, Importivity ran a process I could actually see. Markup was on the table before I signed.

They negotiated three rounds of price increases away before they ever hit my invoice. That alone is worth the partnership.

Got us from rough prototype to a launch-ready product without ever feeling like we lost control of the IP or the timeline.

Why Importivity

What you get that direct sourcing and project agencies don't give you.

01 / True landed cost

You build your business on real numbers.

We model your true landed cost before you commit: unit price, freight, duties, tariffs, every line that hits your books. You price your SKU, plan your margin, and forecast working capital on numbers that match what actually ships, not numbers that get rewritten at the dock.

02 / Pricing you can verify

OTC programs run on documented cost-plus.

On white-label programs you see actual factory cost and our markup as separate line items on every PO. The markup percentage is locked in your engagement letter before any work starts. Custom programs run on a single landed-cost figure, with prototyping, design, and engineering quoted separately at published rates.

03 / People on the ground

QC is run in person, not by email.

Inline and pre-shipment inspections happen at the factory, by our team, against your golden sample. Issues trigger rework, not returns.

04 / The relationship is the product

You don't restart from zero every PO.

Renegotiations, plus-one supplier development, quarterly cost reviews, and tariff strategy are built in. We earn the loyalty discount back in savings.

Common Questions

The 6 things people ask on the consultation.

If something is not covered here, the call will get to it.

Is there a minimum to get started?

Yes. To take on a new program we need to see a $50,000 initial order and at least $150,000 in annual volume. Below those numbers the math does not produce real savings net of our pricing. We will tell you on the consultation if your project is below the floor and recommend what to do instead, often run the first order direct and come back when volume justifies the model.

How does the cost-plus markup actually work?

OTC and white-label programs run on a tiered cost-plus schedule. You start at 10% on actual landed cost. For every additional $1M of lifetime spend with us, your markup drops 1%, down to a 6% floor. Once your annual spend with us crosses $10M, you move to 4.5%. Commodity programs can run as low as 2% at $5M+ annual commodity volume.

What does the consultation actually cover?

Bring the product, your target landed cost, and a current supplier quote if you have one. In 30 minutes we will tell you which pricing track you fit, what your markup or quote would look like, where the savings actually are on your product, and exactly what an engagement with us would cost over the life of the account.

What if I'm already producing somewhere?

Often a great starting point. Many of our clients come to us already producing and looking for a partner to professionalize the program, run QC properly, address tariff exposure, or develop a plus-one backup. We will tell you on the consultation whether your existing factory can be folded into a program or whether a fresh sourcing exercise is the better starting point.

How do I verify what I'm actually paying?

On OTC and white-label programs you see actual factory cost and our published markup as separate, documented line items on every PO. The cost-plus structure makes the unit math visible by design. On custom programs your true landed-cost figure is set at engagement and does not change without a written change order. Prototyping, design, and engineering are billed at published rates against an approved scope. The number you signed is the number you pay.

How fast can we start?

Most brands are on a discovery call within 48 hours of submitting a request. Engagement terms and pricing are mapped within 7 days. Sampling timelines depend on the product, but we can often have first samples in hand within 3 to 5 weeks.

Your Next Step

One call. Real numbers.

Bring a product, a target landed cost, and a quote from your current supplier. In 30 minutes we will tell you where the savings are and exactly what working with us would cost.
