Who you're working with
A real China-side operation — checked before you pay
Supplymo is a pre-payment decision layer plus China-side receiving and prep, not a faceless reseller.
- Written report and quote before any supplier payment.
- China warehouse receiving with photo evidence before international shipping.
- No counterfeit or restricted goods; high-risk US categories routed to manual review.
- No lowest-price guarantee and no fixed-duty promise — estimates with official sources.
For U.S. sellers, the decision also needs HTS, Section 301, importer, package, FBA or 3PL, and route questions separated before payment.
Before you pay
How your money is protected
You decide with full information first. Payment only happens after you approve the report and quote — and you never pay a supplier directly.
Quote approved first
You see the full report and quote before paying anything.
Pay through traceable channels
You never wire suppliers directly. Funds stay tied to your Supplymo order.
Photos before we ship
We send warehouse photos before international shipping leaves China.
See our refund & cancellation policy for stage-by-stage terms.

Risk flags before ordering
We highlight risks clearly up front.

Cost components (example)
A cheap 1688 price is not your US landed cost
An illustrative per-unit stack to a US destination. Your real numbers depend on HTS classification, origin, route, and current CBP treatment.
per unit, illustrative
Est. landed$4.00+ / unit
1688 unit price (EXW)$2.35
China domestic shipping$0.25
Service + warehouse (photos, prep)$0.45
International freight to US$0.95
Estimated US duty (HTS-dependent)varies
Duty is shown as 'varies' on purpose: after the 2025 de minimis changes it depends on HTS code, country of origin, and entry type. Confirm with CBP or a broker before quoting your customer.
Good fit for
- Shopify / TikTok Shop sellers
- AliExpress / CJ users moving to source
- Small US sellers importing from China
- Need evidence before paying
- Want clear US landed cost and risks
Not for
- Counterfeit or restricted goods
- Deep compliance without specialist review
- Guaranteed lowest price
- Open-ended product sourcing
- High-risk or prohibited items
US landed cost in 2025+
What changes landed cost to the United States
US rules shifted in 2025. A low 1688 price is only the first line — these are the factors that decide your real US landed cost before you pay a supplier.
De minimis is no longer a safe assumption: Don't assume US-bound parcels under $800 are duty-free. Executive Order 14256 ended duty-free de minimis for covered PRC/Hong Kong goods (from 2025-05-02), and EO 14324 suspended it for all countries (from 2025-08-29). Check current CBP guidance before quoting.
HTS classification drives the duty: Duty starts from your HTS code, country of origin, customs value, and entry method — not the product name. Section 301 and IEEPA tariffs may stack on top.
Clearing customs is not permission to sell: Children's products (CPSC/CPC), food, supplements, and cosmetics (FDA/MoCRA), and electronics (FCC/battery) have compliance rules that 1688 listing claims do not satisfy.
Official sources
For sourcing planning only. Duties, tariffs, HTS classification, origin rules, and entry method can change the final amount — confirm current treatment with CBP or a licensed customs broker before paying a supplier.

Landed Cost & Margin CalculatorHow it works
From check to delivery
A first order should rely on visible evidence, not blind trust.
1. Product check
You submit a link or product clue.
2. Quote approval
We share report and quote.
3. China receiving
We receive at our warehouse.
4. Photo evidence
We send photos and contents.
5. Prep / labeling
We label, repack, and prepare.
6. Shipping handoff
We hand off to the route you approved for the United States.
Warehouse receiving, photo evidence, prep, and shipping happen only when they are included in an approved quote and scope. A receiving photo is not automatically a full quality inspection.
Trust boundaries
What we do — and don't do
Clear boundaries are part of the service. Here is what you can count on.
Why we exist
Almost everyone who helps you buy gets paid when you buy.
That creates a quiet incentive to keep an order moving, even when the evidence says the buyer should pause.

1688 vs AliExpress for US sellers
The 1688 item price is often lower, but the real question is landed cost and risk after fees, freight, and US import treatment.

FAQ
US sourcing questions before you pay
Are 1688 parcels under $800 still duty-free into the US?+
Don't assume that. US policy suspended duty-free de minimis for broad categories — for covered PRC/Hong Kong goods from 2025-05-02 (EO 14256) and for all countries from 2025-08-29 (EO 14324). Check current CBP guidance before quoting landed cost.
How do I estimate US duty on 1688 goods?+
Start from HTS classification, country of origin, customs value, and entry method, then check current CBP guidance. Section 301 and IEEPA tariffs may apply on top. We surface the questions; a broker confirms the rate.
Can I sell 1688 products on Shopify or TikTok Shop in the US?+
Often yes, but compare landed cost and compliance risk, not just item price. Children's products, electronics, cosmetics, and food/supplements have CPSC/FCC/FDA rules that 1688 listings do not satisfy.
Is DDP safer for a US small seller?+
DDP can simplify the buyer experience, but it does not remove product-compliance or incorrect-declaration risk. Confirm what a DDP quote actually covers.
What happens if the product is restricted or needs specialist compliance advice?+
The check flags visible restricted-product, carrier, certification, and platform-compliance signals. A high-risk or unclear case can end in Manual review or Stop. It is not legal or customs advice, so regulated categories still need the appropriate specialist before you pay.
What evidence do I receive after goods reach the China warehouse?+
When receiving and photo evidence are included in your approved quote, you receive dated photos of the visible cartons, labels, and contents before the next handoff. Those photos do not by themselves prove product performance, full compliance, or defect-free goods; deeper inspection is a separate approved scope.
