How we work
Every BizShip order follows the same process: the right factory, an approved sample, production we follow on the floor, and a final inspection by our own team. Here is each step, and the two ways you can buy.
Our textile sourcing process, step by step.
Eight steps, the same for every order, large or small. You always know who is doing what, and what happens next.
Your brief
Send us the product, specification or tech pack, quantity, target price, delivery date and destination, plus any label and packaging needs. We reply within one business day, and sign a mutual NDA first if you ask.
Factory matching
We shortlist factories from our network that fit your product, quality level, volume and certifications, and check they have capacity for your delivery date. Every factory is visited and assessed by our team before any order.
Quotation
You receive a quotation on the buying model you prefer, with the price, shipping term, minimums and lead time, plus the certificates and test reports of the proposed factory.
Sampling and approval
We send existing samples or have counter samples made to your specification. Once you approve a sample, it becomes the standard that both the factory and our inspectors work to.
Order and pre-production
The order is confirmed in writing on your chosen model. Before bulk production starts, we check fabric, trims, labels and packaging against your approved sample.
Production follow-up
Our team follows production on the factory floor and sends you updates with photos at least once a week. If anything threatens quality or your delivery date, you hear it from us first, with a solution.
Final inspection
Our own inspectors carry out a final AQL inspection (ISO 2859-1, General Inspection Level II, AQL 2.5 major and 4.0 minor by default). You receive the report with photos, and goods that fail are not released.
Shipment and documents
We coordinate shipment on your agreed term, with your forwarder or ours, and check that every document is complete and correct for your bank and customs. On repeat orders, the same factory and approved standard carry over.
Two ways to buy. One standard of quality.
Every buyer’s finance and import setup is different, so BizShip works the way that suits yours. Either way, the textile sourcing process stays the same: vetted factories, production follow-up and a final inspection by our own team.

A cost point many buyers miss (commission model)
In most major markets, including the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union and the GCC countries, a genuine buying commission that is invoiced separately is generally not included in the customs value under WTO valuation rules, so it does not usually attract import duty. Rules and documents vary, so please confirm with your customs broker.
