Buyer Questions
Sourcing services FAQs
Short answers for buyers comparing MCR Associates service options for India sourcing and export coordination.
Which service should I choose first?
Start with sourcing agent or vendor identification support if you need suppliers. Choose product development for samples and private label work, inspection for quality checks, and consolidation logistics for multi-supplier shipment handoff.
Can MCR support buyers who already have suppliers?
Yes. MCR can help with supplier review, RFQ follow-up, sample coordination, inspection planning, packaging checks, documentation inputs, and logistics handoff even when the buyer already has supplier contacts.
Do sourcing services include product compliance approval?
No. MCR can coordinate supplier information and documents, but buyers remain responsible for destination-market compliance, testing, labeling, product safety, and import approvals.
Can sourcing and merchant export support be combined?
Yes, where the product category fits. Some buyers use sourcing support to review options and merchant export supply when MCR Associates can supply and export selected Indian goods directly.
