With suppliers spread across Vietnam, Poland, South Korea, and China, buyers gain access to diverse production capabilities and regulatory landscapes, enabling more flexible sourcing strategies. However, only 33% of suppliers are verified through work email, phone, or payment terms, which increases the risk of encountering unverified or fraudulent sellers—making due diligence a critical step before placing orders. Combined with the common use of CIF terms, buyers must plan for higher freight costs and take full responsibility for delivery logistics, which affects overall cost and supply chain control.
