Sourcing region FAQ

1. Why do you source across 6 countries?

Resilience and trade-bloc fit. Different regions have different strengths (Turkey textile, Armenia silkscreen, UAE logistics, Cyprus EU-access, Serbia automotive parts, Georgia IT-merch). One supplier-country = single point of failure.

2. How do you decide which region to source from?

By 4 factors: trade-bloc fit (where you import to), product type (apparel = Turkey; electronics = UAE; eco-paper = Serbia), volume tier, and timeline tolerance. We default to lowest-landed-cost compliant option.

3. Can you split a single order across regions?

Yes. Multi-origin POs are common for risk distribution. We coordinate documents (origin certs, customs) per region and combine at consolidation point or ship direct from each.

4. Which region is cheapest?

Depends on item. Apparel: Turkey. Embroidery: Armenia. Electronics: UAE (no duty in free zone). Food/beverage: Serbia. Premium leather: Turkey. Tech accessories: UAE. We benchmark each quote across all 6.

5. Which region has fastest lead time?

Turkey for apparel (4-8 days production), UAE for in-stock items (3-6 days), Armenia for silkscreen (7-10 days). Serbia and Georgia trail by 2-3 days. Cyprus is highest cost but best for EU-internal speed.

6. Do you have offices in all 6 countries?

Yes. Yerevan (HQ), Tbilisi, Limassol, Dubai, Belgrade, Istanbul. Each office has English+local language support, quality team, and customs broker on retainer.

7. How do you handle currency in multi-region orders?

We invoice in single currency (USD or EUR) and absorb FX fluctuation within ±3%. Beyond that we adjust at next PO.

8. Can we visit any of your facilities?

Yes. We arrange factory visits in any of the 6 countries within 14 days. Most clients visit Yerevan + 1 other site annually as part of QBR.
