FAQ
BAUER DUKE is a furniture sourcing partner based in Foshan, China. We help international homeowners, interior designers and project clients source furniture from Foshan’s furniture ecosystem — from selection through to quality inspection and collection.
BAUER DUKE generally charges a transparent 5% service fee based on the furniture transaction value, with a minimum fee of $100. The exact service scope and fee structure are confirmed with you before the project begins. An advisory option is also available at no charge — see our Services page for the difference.
We work with international clients and can support sourcing projects for destinations including Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, Australia, Canada and the United States, among other markets. Freight availability depends on the destination and the requirements of each project — freight is arranged and paid for by you.
