How it works

From a plain-words brief to a coordinated deal

Scroll the pipeline — keep requirements, reviews, evidence, owners, and handoffs visible while you stay in control.

01 · Brief

Describe it in plain words

Drop a sentence or a materials file — no template. The agent structures it into a sourcing brief for you.

Your brief

“We need ~500 quartz slabs, calibrated 20mm, exported to the US in about 45 days. Include available origin evidence for broker review.”
Quartz slabExport: US~45 days

02 · Verify

Potential AD/CVD matches are flagged and supplier evidence is reviewed against the current checklist before a shortlist is shared.

Why SourceAgent

Four controls designed into the workflow

Identity-protected discovery

Browse supplier profiles approved against the current SourceAgent checklist as veiled cards until you choose to open a deal.

Compliance preparation

Record the product basis, source references, open questions, and reviewer handoff before a licensed broker makes a determination.

Quality evidence in context

Connect sample, production, inspection, and corrective-action evidence to the exact item and decision it supports.

Broker-review origin package

Assemble the available origin evidence — BOM, invoices, photos, and certificates — with gaps visible for buyer and broker review.

Compliance information is for preparation only. Confirm HS classification, AD/CVD applicability, and origin status with a licensed customs broker or customs attorney before importing. See the full disclaimer.

Boundaries

The stakes

When sourcing alone goes wrong

Synthetic examples below show why source, scope, evidence, and an explicit decision owner matter. They are not customer testimonials or measured outcomes.

Bought 'Vietnamese' stone. CBP later found it transshipped through Vietnam from China to dodge tariffs.

Illustrative scenario · distributorBack-tariffs + audit

Wired a 50% deposit direct to a factory. Communication stopped after it cleared.

Illustrative scenario · project leadFull deposit lost

Sourced engineered stone from a marketplace. It arrived without the documentation his crew needed to install.

Simple, honest pricing

Scoped platform and service fees before any order moves.

The exact SourceAgent service scope and fee are shown before acceptance. Buyer and supplier funds remain with the parties and their chosen providers; SourceAgent does not hold, transfer, escrow, or custody those funds.
