Note·Offshored procurement desk
Source in Asia
without getting
burned.
Buying in China or Southeast Asia from Polynesia without going there is risky: variable supplier quality, opportunism, complex logistics. Our team acts as your offshored procurement desk, with regular on-site presence and quality discipline.
You pay the right factory price; we take charge of the part that requires being physically there.

FAQ · Tahiti Sourcing·6 questions
Sourcing in Tahiti — frequently asked questions.
Fee model, supplier audit method in China, quality control and logistics to French Polynesia: answers to the recurring questions.
What is sourcing in Tahiti at DBS?
Sourcing means identifying, qualifying and following up suppliers in Asia (China, Japan, Korea) on your behalf. We open a file from your specification, shortlist 3 to 5 qualified factories, organize samples and quality checks, then manage logistics all the way to Papeete.
Tailored sourcing or pre-set catalog?
Both. Our Import division already covers five categories (EVs, LED, solar, aesthetics, medical). For everything else — professional equipment, construction materials, resale stock, components — we do tailored sourcing. One file = one precise need, not an off-the-shelf order.
How much does a sourcing mission in Asia cost?
Our model is transparent: success-based fee (commission calculated on the final order) or fixed fee for projects requiring long exploratory work. The first exchange is always free — we tell you quickly whether the need is actionable or not.
Where are your partners in Asia?
Main operational network: Shenzhen and Guangzhou (electronics, furniture, professional equipment), Shanghai (industry, medical equipment, premium sourcing), Hong Kong and Singapore (consolidation, finance, logistics). Over 80 qualified suppliers on file, over 120 factory audits performed.
How do you guarantee product quality before shipment to Tahiti?
Three steps: (1) samples approved by you before production, (2) mid-production quality audit on volume orders, (3) final random inspection (FRI) before loading, with photo and video report. Non-conformities block shipment — never the reverse.
Can you source for the whole Pacific?
Yes. Our operational base is in Papeete, but we deliver across French Polynesia, New Caledonia, Wallis and Futuna and other South Pacific territories. Inter-island logistics is included in our quotes.
