Who We Are

More Than a Service Provider

RAYSA International Trading (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. is a legally registered company based in Shenzhen, China. Our dedicated team works closely with suppliers, manufacturers, and logistics partners to ensure every order progresses smoothly. From supplier communication and quality coordination to shipment management, we are committed to transparency, reliable service, and building long-term partnerships with our clients.

How RAYSA Trading was founded

How We Started

Founded from inside the supply chain.

RAYSA International Trading was founded by a Rwandan entrepreneur living in Shenzhen, China’s manufacturing capital. While working closely with Chinese suppliers and manufacturers, one challenge became clear: many East African businesses wanted to buy directly from China, but finding reliable suppliers, verifying product quality, and managing shipments from thousands of kilometers away was often difficult and time-consuming.

RAYSA International was created to bridge that gap. By combining local knowledge of East Africa with direct access to China’s manufacturing network, we help businesses source products with confidence, verify quality before shipment, and manage the process from factory floor to final delivery. Today, our goal is to become East Africa’s most trusted sourcing and supply chain partner in China.

Our Mission

Building Reliable Trade between China and East Africa.

Our mission is to connect Chinese manufacturers with businesses across East Africa by providing professional product sourcing, quality control, and export solutions. We help businesses access reliable suppliers while simplifying the sourcing and export process from China.

From identifying manufacturers and coordinating production to quality inspections and export logistics, we manage every stage of the supply chain, providing one dedicated point of contact from inquiry to delivery.

“One team. One agreement. Zero surprises.”

The Old Way

A chain so long nobody
is accountable.

High cost. Hidden fees. Zero visibility. And if something goes wrong — good luck knowing who to call.

  1. 1

    You

    You place your order and hope for the best.

  2. 2

    Local Broker

    Takes a cut. Passes your order along.

  3. 3

    Sourcing Agent

    Finds a factory. Marks up the price.

  4. 4

    Factory

    Manufactures goods. Ships to the forwarder.

  5. 5

    Freight Forwarder

    Books shipping. Adds handling fees.

  6. 6

    Customs Agent

    Files paperwork. Bills you separately.

  7. 7

    Your warehouse

    Goods arrive — weeks late, budget blown.
