Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers about supplier matching, verification, fees, inspections, logistics and how EDVIA works.

Yes. We can support negotiations across price, MOQ, lead time, payment and delivery terms.

Suppliers are screened according to the agreed project scope. The level of verification is stated clearly.

What does pre-screened mean?

It means the supplier has passed an initial fit review before being introduced for your requirement.

Yes. Custom sourcing requests are reviewed case by case.

No. We work with qualified businesses of different sizes when the requirement is commercially realistic.

We can coordinate relevant parties, but licensed customs services are provided by authorized brokers.
