Sourcing guides

Practical steps for assessing product, manufacturer and sourcing fit.

The most useful procurement questions are often more specific than “Who sells this?” These guides help international buyers identify the producer, explain their requirements and avoid treating a directory listing as purchase assurance.

Manufacturer, trader or exporter: identify the actual producer

Learn how to distinguish a manufacturer’s Philippine production activity from a domestic trading address or an export-only role. Includes an evidence checklist.

How to request a quote for Philippine processed foods

Build an initial request for quotation covering product, process, origin, packaging and documentation. Includes a downloadable CSV worksheet for internal evaluation.

Reminder: For any product, check applicable import rules with your country's authorities and request current, product-specific records from the manufacturer. These resources do not replace legal, safety or regulatory review.
