The Reality

Importing from China shouldn't be a minefield

Language barriers lead to miscommunication, unvetted factories promise quality but deliver defects, and complex customs documentation can halt shipments. A single oversight can cost thousands of dollars.

At Lumea, we act as your boots on the ground in China. We don't just find suppliers — we manage the entire export process from factory vetting to final dispatch so you never face supply chain risks alone.

Fair & Flexible Engagement Models

We believe in win-win partnerships with zero hidden fees or inflated shipping costs.

Monthly Retainer

Project-Based Consulting

Fixed monthly fee for full time ongoing supplier communication, dedicated product sourcing, and routine factory quality visits. Ideal for regular sourcing needs.

A transparent 3–8% fee on total goods value. You only pay when we successfully deliver your order to exact specification. Best for large single orders.

A fixed fee for specific, time-bound projects: supplier verification, factory audits, or shipping coordination.
