INSIDER PLAYBOOKS · FBA SOURCING TEMPLATES
Source from China Like You Were Born There.
32 sourcing templates built from the Chinese factory floor — bilingual, FBA-fee-aware, and compliance-ready for the US & EU. For Amazon sellers who can’t afford a bad supplier.
Do the math: On a $29.99 sale in 2026, Amazon takes about 40.7% in fees. Landed cost eats another ~36.5%. That leaves you ~15.7% — before a supplier ships junk or a tariff changes. Sourcing isn’t a cost center. It’s the whole game.
Based on a 2026 margin breakdown published by Union Delta; your category and numbers will differ. Illustrative example.

Why “Chinese perspective” isn’t a slogan
- Bilingual everything — every supplier-facing template has the Chinese your supplier reads and the English you read, side by side.
- Real factory cost logic — where the margin hides in a quote, from someone on the factory side of the table.
- The Phrase Decoder — “可以的” vs “没问题” vs “尽量”, three ways to say yes, three different commitment levels.
- 2026 tariff reality, built in.
- FBA-specific — fees, FNSKU prep, inbound compliance.
SAMPLE PROOF
Your supplier says: “尽量安排” (jǐnliàng ānpái — “we’ll try our best to arrange it”). What it really means: no commitment on date. If your launch depends on this shipment, get a written date or move on.
