Availability depends on specifications, volumes, supplier capability and applicable Australian requirements. Some products, such as electrical goods, food and children's products, must meet specific Australian standards, which we check before quoting.

How it works

From requirement to delivery

  1. 01

    Your requirement

    Send a drawing, specification, photo, sample or a short description, with quantities and any target price.

  2. 02

    Quote

    We approach suitable suppliers, clarify the details and send you a clear quote in Australian dollars, with minimum order, lead time and delivery terms.

  3. 03

    Sample

    Where it makes sense, a sample or first-off part is supplied for your approval before you commit to volume.

  4. 04

    Production

    Once you approve, production runs to the agreed specification, with all communication handled through us.

  5. 05

    Quality

    Your quality requirements are agreed before production starts, so you know exactly what you are getting.

  6. 06

    Delivery

    We arrange freight on the terms in your quote and keep you updated at each stage until your goods arrive.

Existing importers

Already importing?

You do not necessarily need to change your entire supply chain. Mawkin Sourcing can help you benchmark an existing product or supplier, investigate an alternative manufacturing source or explore a new product category.

Start with one requirement.
