Document background
The Sourcing Agent Agreement is essential for companies looking to establish a formal relationship with professional sourcing agents in Asian markets, particularly through Hong Kong's well-established trading infrastructure. This document is commonly used when a company needs local expertise and presence to identify, evaluate, and manage suppliers, especially in mainland China and other Asian manufacturing hubs. The agreement typically includes comprehensive provisions covering the agent's scope of authority, service obligations, quality control responsibilities, commission structures, and compliance requirements. It incorporates Hong Kong's robust commercial law framework, which provides strong legal protection and enforcement mechanisms for international trade relationships. The document is particularly important for companies without direct presence in Asian markets who need reliable representation for their sourcing operations.
