How it works

From the producer to your plant. You do four things, we do the rest.

  1. WIT inspector checking a sample bag1

    Pick a product

    Browse what our producers have available, with its full data sheet. Not listed? Send a request and we source it.

  2. Bulk bags loaded for shipment2

    See your delivered price

    Enter your ZIP code. One price per metric ton, delivered duty paid to your plant, with the date it holds until.

  3. Bulk bag inspected next to the container at the port3

    Order and pay at home

    Order by the container. Your invoice comes from our US company and you pay it by wire to our US bank, like any domestic supplier.

  4. Bulk bags ready for delivery4

    Receive it at your dock

    We ship it, clear US customs and truck it to you. You sign for the delivery.

Start small: sample → test order of 1–5 MTons → full container.

Questions

What buyers ask us first.

What does the WIT guarantee cover?

Every product meets the technical specifications in its data sheet. If a lot does not, we make it right.

How much can I save?

Our clients typically save 5–15% on their delivered cost compared with their current supply.

Is it safe to buy from China?

Yes, with WIT. You buy from a US or Mexican company, every lot is inspected and every product is guaranteed to spec.

Is duty included?

Yes. Every price is delivered duty paid: supplier, ocean freight, US duty, customs clearance and trucking to your ZIP code. What you see is what you pay.

Who is the importer?

We are. WIT files the customs entry through our licensed broker and pays the duty. You receive the goods at your dock.

How do I know the quality?

Every product has our English data sheet, and we send you a certificate of analysis for every lot. Start with a sample, then one container.

How much do I have to order?

One container, about 20 to 26 metric tons depending on the product. The price shown is for one full container.

How long does it take?

Your quote shows the supplier lead time. Once it is on the water we send you the vessel and container numbers so you can follow it.

What if something is wrong?

Tell us. Your contract is with a US company, so the claim is ours to settle with the supplier, not yours.

Buying for a plant in Mexico?

You buy from WIT México and pay in Mexican pesos to a Mexican bank, with a CFDI invoice. The Spanish page has the details.

Buying from outside the USA or Mexico?

We sell worldwide: price at the producer (FOB China), delivered to your port (CIF) or delivered to your plant.

Ask our technical team

A technical question, in your language.

Ask about a specification, a grade, a test or an application. We put it to the supplier’s engineers in Chinese and bring their answer back in your language, checked by our team.

Your question is answered by Tony Wong, Quality Manager, and our engineers in China.

Today our team checks every question and answer. Soon buyers and suppliers talk directly, each in their own language.

Buying from China used to mean risk, middlemen and paperwork. We are changing that: qualified producers, one transparent price, and a team in the USA, Mexico and China that stays with you long after the first container.
