Turning risks into controllable processes
Many companies shy away from importing directly, for good reason. With the right partner, these risks become controllable processes.
Our solution
Vetted partners
We verify every manufacturer in person and enforce quality standards on site.
Challenge
Communication barriers
Language and cultural differences lead to misunderstandings and delays.
Our solution
Direct communication
Native-speaking contacts and proven processes prevent misunderstandings.
Challenge
Logistics complexity
Customs, transport routes, and regulations make importing unpredictable.
Our solution
Full-service import
From order to delivery, we manage the entire logistics process.
The journey of your order
Six stations, one point of contact. This is how your order travels from the factory to your loading dock.
Station 01: Sourcing & Negotiation
We identify the right manufacturer from our vetted network, conduct the factory audit, and negotiate terms directly on site, without middlemen.
Station 02: Audit & Samples
The manufacturer audit comes before any order is placed. Sample approval and agreed terms provide certainty before production starts.
Station 03: Production & Inspection
Material checks at the start of production (IPC) and interim inspections during manufacturing. Our team or certified partners are physically on site.
Station 04: Freight (Sea, Air, Land)
We coordinate sea, air, and land freight and choose the most economical route for your shipment.
Station 05: Customs & Documents
Customs clearance, import declaration, and complete document management to EU standards.
Station 06: Goods Receipt at Your Site
Schedule monitoring until arrival, delivery coordination all the way to your warehouse, EU-compliant checks included.

Frequently asked questions
What does a typical import process with EZ Consulting look like?
We support you from start to finish. First we analyze your requirements and select suitable manufacturers from our vetted network. After obtaining quotes and negotiating, we coordinate production, on-site quality control, and shipping to Germany, including customs clearance.
How do you ensure product quality?
We rely on multi-stage quality assurance: a manufacturer audit before the order is placed, material checks at the start of production (IPC), interim inspections, and a final random inspection (FRI) before shipping. Our team or certified partners are physically on site, not a paperwork-only inspection.
What advantages does textile production in Türkiye offer over Asia?
Türkiye scores with shorter lead times (2-5 weeks instead of 6-14 weeks, indicative values), European production standards at our partners (GOTS, OEKO-TEX, REACH), smaller minimum order quantities, and shorter transport routes. Ideal for time-critical projects or smaller batch sizes.
What minimum order quantities (MOQs) are typically required?
That depends on the product. For standard promotional items from China, MOQs are often 300-1,000 units. For textiles from Türkiye, sometimes from 100-300 units. In an initial consultation, we give you concrete figures for your product.
What costs should I expect on top of the product price?
Typical additional costs include freight, import duty (depending on the type of goods and HS code), import VAT, and possibly port fees and warehousing costs. We prepare a transparent total calculation up front so you know your landed cost, with no hidden surprises.
Can EZ Consulting also act as a reseller or agent?
Yes. Depending on the model, we act as a purchasing agent (you buy directly from the manufacturer, we coordinate), as a reseller (we buy and sell on to you), or purely as a consultant. We determine the best fit in a free initial consultation.
