China sourcing agent for businesses in Saudi Arabia
Cambridge China Bridge sources from Chinese factories for businesses in Saudi Arabia: our own staff in China find and check factories and inspect goods before shipment. We quote to your port, or to your door with duties and taxes included where our freight and customs partners cover your address.
We reply the same working day to confirm receipt and arrange next steps.
What you get
- Compare Jeddah, Dammam and King Abdullah Port against your delivery address and available services, including destination handling and inland delivery.
- The Saudi importer arranges SABER documentation for commercial imports; confirm the applicable product requirements before applying for the shipment certificate.
- Quotes in USD, EUR or GBP to your port, or to your door with duties and taxes included where covered; we confirm the delivery scope when we quote.
- Quotes to suit how you buy: one delivered price, or an itemised quote with the factory cost, freight, duty and our service fee shown separately.
- Factory checks and inspection before shipment by our own staff in China, based in the Pearl River Delta and Yangtze River Delta.
How it works
- Send the product, intended use, quantity and your Saudi delivery port or address.
- We find and check factories and quote the delivery scope; agree the Saudi importer and product requirements before ordering.
- Samples are sent to you; production starts only after you approve one.
- Our staff in China inspect the goods before shipment.
- Your customs agent clears the goods, or our local partner does when we quote to your door, with the agreed Saudi importer.
How we check factories and goods, and the proof
Every check follows our published CCB Verification Standard v2.0. Factory visits are made by our own staff in the Pearl River and Yangtze River deltas; if an inspection company is appointed for you, the report names it.
- Factory audit: From £395 a visit (one day on site), plus VAT; the final price depends on location and scope and is confirmed before we start. Written report usually within 48 hours of the visit. Sample factory audit report
- Pre-shipment inspection: From £275 per inspector-day (Guangdong, Zhejiang, Jiangsu), plus VAT; the final price depends on location, product and scope and is confirmed before we start. Photo report usually within 24 hours of the inspection. Sample pre-shipment inspection report
Default inspection sampling: zero critical defects, AQL 2.5 major and AQL 4.0 minor (ISO 2859-1, general level II), inspected once at least 80% of the goods are packed.
Real project: for a UK electric-vehicle charging operator we ran inspection and factory communication. A Jiangsu candidate did not meet the requirements; after reviewing a third-party check we chose a Zhejiang factory, which now ships about three pallets a month. Read the case
We are not an accredited inspection body and issue no certificates; laboratory tests and social audits go to accredited firms, and you receive their reports.
Cambridge China Bridge in brief
- Buying from Chinese factories since 2021 (the company was incorporated in September 2022), for our own businesses and for clients on the same terms.
- Our own staff are based in China, at two bases: the Pearl River Delta (Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Dongguan) and the Yangtze River Delta (Shanghai, Zhejiang, Jiangsu). They visit factories themselves.
- Quotes to suit how you buy: one delivered price, or an itemised quote with the factory cost, freight, duty and our service fee shown separately. Open-book detail is available on request.
- Audits and inspections are usually included in the quote for an order placed with us; complex checks that need a third party are charged extra, agreed first.
- Orders run from a first trial to scheduled full containers; the factory’s own minimum is stated in the quote.
- In one project, a UK EV charging operator cut unit cost by 70% and scaled 3× faster. In another, a multi-site Cambridge café chain saved 50% on packaging.
- A UK company in Cambridge and London: Cambridge China Bridge is the trading name of Piggy Pineapple Ltd, company number 14385590.
- Send 1–3 products you buy now and what you pay. We compare the same specification, quantity, inspection and delivery scope to establish a cost benchmark.
- A reference call with a past client can be arranged, with that client’s agreement.
How we charge
Quotes to suit how you buy: one delivered price, or an itemised quote with the factory cost, freight, duty and our service fee shown separately. Open-book detail is available on request.
Our margin is included in the quoted price or shown separately as a service fee. The service fee depends on the agreed scope, including products, samples, inspections and ongoing supply.
Questions buyers ask
Can you quote delivery to my address with duties and taxes included?
Yes, where our freight and customs partners cover your address. We confirm coverage and inclusions when we quote. Our local partner handles clearance for door delivery; we agree the Saudi importer and conformity-document responsibilities before booking.
Does my Chinese factory register the goods on SABER?
The Saudi importer registers the product for the commercial route. The applicable product conformity certificate or self-declaration must be completed before requesting a shipment certificate. We can agree which supporting documents to collect from the factory for your appointed assessment body.
Can my Saudi business contract with your UK company?
Yes. The contract is with our UK company under English law. You can instead request a contract with our Hong Kong company, Pineapple bun bun Limited, under Hong Kong law. Most of our clients are in the UK; we also work for buyers in other countries.
