Division 01
Cross-border trade.
We find suppliers, check their factories and products, and move goods between Asia, Australia and North America, for our own channels and for clients.
About the division
Sourcing and shipping, handled end to end.
Cross-border trade is where every Luminova product starts. The same team buys for our distribution and wellness divisions and runs sourcing projects for outside clients.
For clients, we act as the buyer’s team on the ground: we shortlist suppliers, visit or audit factories, agree specifications and inspect goods before they ship. We then coordinate freight and customs so stock arrives labelled, documented and ready to sell.
- Importers and retailers sourcing a new product line
- Brands that need a local partner to land goods in Australia
- Australian producers looking for export buyers

A sourcing project, step by step.
Most projects follow the same five steps. Timing depends on the product, the supplier and the shipping lane.

Shortlist & audit
We identify suitable suppliers, check their registration and documents, and audit the preferred factory.
Samples & costing
You approve samples. We confirm labelling, compliance requirements and the landed cost per unit.
Production & inspection
We follow production against the agreed timeline and inspect goods before they leave the factory.
