Trade and sourcing
Intaccess finds suppliers in Türkiye, China and the UAE, negotiates on your behalf, inspects goods before they are paid for and ships them to South Sudan. It exists for a specific problem: buying at distance from a supplier you cannot visit, in a market where the recourse if something goes wrong is limited.
The problem this solves
Buying abroad without someone on the ground means trusting photographs, a price list and a stranger's word. The failure modes are well known: goods that do not match the sample, quantities short of the invoice, a supplier who stops answering after the deposit clears, or a price that was never competitive to begin with.
We have offices in the markets you are buying from. Someone can visit the factory, look at the goods, and check what is being loaded before your money is committed.
How it works
You tell us what you need, in as much or as little detail as you have. We come back with options, prices and a recommendation.
- You brief us on the product, the quantity, the quality level and your budget
- We identify suppliers and request quotations against that brief
- We compare on landed cost, not the quoted unit price — a cheaper factory further from the port is often not cheaper
- We negotiate terms and payment structure
- We inspect the goods before shipment and confirm they match what was agreed
- We handle export documentation and freight to Juba
- We clear customs and deliver
What we source
The three markets we work in have different strengths, and the right one depends on what you are buying.
- Türkiye — construction materials, furniture, textiles, food products, medical supplies, machinery
- China — electronics, industrial equipment, solar and power products, packaging, general merchandise at volume
- UAE — re-export stock, branded goods, spare parts, and consolidation of purchases made across several suppliers
What we do not do
We are not a trading company marking up stock we already hold, and we do not take a hidden margin on the supplier's price. You see what the goods cost and what our service costs, separately. If a supplier offers us a commission, that comes off your invoice rather than into our pocket.
We also will not source goods we cannot legally import into South Sudan, or handle a transaction where the paperwork would have to misrepresent the value or the contents.
Frequently asked questions
Can you source a product if I only have a photograph?
Usually. A photograph, a rough specification and a target price are enough to start. The more detail you can give on quality level and quantity, the closer the first round of quotations will be.
Do you inspect goods before they ship?
Yes. Inspection before shipment is the point of the service — we have staff in Türkiye, China and the UAE who can visit the supplier and confirm the goods match what was agreed before the balance is paid.
How do you charge for sourcing?
Our service fee is quoted separately from the cost of the goods, so you can see both. We do not take a hidden margin on the supplier's price, and any commission a supplier offers us is credited against your invoice.
Which market should I buy from?
It depends on the product. Türkiye is strong on construction materials, furniture, textiles, food and medical supplies; China on electronics, industrial and solar equipment and volume merchandise; the UAE on re-export stock, branded goods and spare parts. We will tell you if you are asking the wrong market.
Can you handle the shipping as well as the buying?
Yes, and it is usually cheaper that way. Sourcing and freight are the same shipment to us, so the goods move from the supplier to your door without being handed between companies.
What if the goods arrive and they are wrong?
Inspection before payment is designed to prevent that. Where a dispute does arise, having a company with a presence in the supplier's market makes recourse possible in a way that a remote purchase does not.
