To keep it short, I am trying to find the best way to source a particular product from China. There's a wholesaler here in the US that sells this product but does a terrible job of marketing it and I don't want to purchase from them wholesale; I want to go right to the source and cut my COGS potentially in half.

Do any of you have any experience with finding out where a company imports their products from? I've used a few websites to search their orders but it looks like the product is shipped from China to Mexico and then to the United States, so I can only see their distributor in Mexico, not the originating source in China.

I have been unsuccessful so far in locating it on Alibaba. I would prefer to stick with this product because it is high quality and I have tested it rigorously.

I would appreciate any insight.
