Global bulk procurement, multi-modal logistics, and hazmat-compliant delivery for industrial chemical buyers. Container loads and above, sourced to specification.
RawSource operates as a specialty chemical distributor with no consumer-facing business. Every transaction is pallet minimum, with container loads as the operational standard. Our supply chain is built for enterprise industrial buyers who require consistent volume, specification-matched product, and full documentation on every shipment.
We maintain active supplier relationships across 40+ origin countries, with concentration in China, India, Germany, and the United States for primary volume, supplemented by specialty producers across Southeast Asia, Eastern Europe, and the Middle East for category-specific chemistries.
Supply chain engagements start with spec alignment: you provide the technical data sheet requirements, we identify qualifying suppliers, obtain COAs and samples, and coordinate logistics from origin to your receiving dock or bonded warehouse.
Production geography matters for pricing, lead time, and regulatory acceptance. Below is our active sourcing map by chemical family and region.
| Origin Country | Primary Chemical Families | Typical Lead Time | Min. Order |
|---|
Annual or quarterly volume commitments with locked pricing and priority allocation. Best for predictable consumption above 5 MT/month.
Single-order or ad hoc purchases from global spot inventory. Turnaround typically 2–6 weeks depending on origin and packaging requirements.
Supply disruption response for allocated or discontinued materials. We maintain secondary supplier contacts for 85% of our catalog.
For regulated applications, we can source equivalent grades from multiple origins to provide supply continuity and regulatory flexibility.
All shipments are coordinated from origin to final destination. Hazmat documentation, customs brokerage, and last-mile logistics are included by default.
