About ChinDirect
The trusted bridge between traders and global suppliers
Founded in 2020 by veteran importers who lost thousands to broken deals, ChinDirect exists to make cross-border trade safe, transparent, and profitable — especially for markets underserved by traditional platforms.
Our Story
ChinDirect began after our founders lost over $40,000 in a failed sourcing trip to Shenzhen. Fake brokers, missed shipments, and no legal recourse convinced them that the entire trade infrastructure for Middle East importers was fundamentally broken.
Since then, we've built a verified network of over 2,700 factories across China, the UAE, Iran, Oman, Iraq, and Saudi Arabia. Every supplier is audited on-site by our local teams before being listed. Every order is protected by escrow. Every shipment is tracked.
Today, over 3,200 businesses trust ChinDirect to safeguard their imports — from small e-commerce sellers ordering their first container, to enterprise buyers moving $10M+ per year.
