Who you work with
Dustin Kluttz
Founder, China Buying Desk
Dustin Kluttz is an American who has lived and worked in China for over a decade. His experience sourcing and exporting goods from China dates to 2010, when he completed his first export from China.
He has spent years working directly with Chinese companies, suppliers, manufacturers, executives and business stakeholders in Mandarin.
That combination is the point of China Buying Desk: U.S. buyer expectations on one side, direct Mandarin supplier communication and China-side execution on the other.
China Buying Desk was built around a simple gap: many U.S. companies buy from China without having anyone on the China side of the transaction who can challenge pricing, clarify specifications, evaluate suppliers, document changes and push commercial discussions forward in the supplier’s own language.
Clients work directly with Dustin on supplier decisions, negotiation, commercial risk and China-side execution. They are not handed to an anonymous account manager or simply given a directory of supplier names. When an engagement requires physical follow-up, supplier visits can be separately scoped.

Independent by design
The value is the independence, not the introduction
Independent supplier evaluation
Suppliers are compared on the same terms, for your product, against your requirement.
No supplier-paid commissions
There is no financial incentive to steer you toward any particular supplier.
No obligation to purchase through us
Take the findings and run the supplier relationship yourself if that suits you.
Transparent scope and fees
Fixed price, defined deliverable and stated exclusions, agreed in writing before work starts.
Confidential commercial information
Specifications, quotes, volumes and supplier identities are handled confidentially. An NDA can be used where appropriate.
Recommendations in your interest
The recommendation reflects your commercial position, not a supplier's sales objective.
How we talk about results
Results stated plainly.
Where sourcing work has produced measurable results, we show them with the scope and context that matter. We do not invent testimonials, inflate sourcing volumes, or turn supplier quotes into guaranteed savings. The goal is simple: give buyers evidence they can use to make a purchasing decision.
