About Nepal Trade Solutions

ABOUT US

Nepal's Specialist Quality Control Partner Since 2020

We exist to protect international buyers who import handmade goods from Nepal by providing independent, professional inspection services with complete local knowledge.

OUR STORY

Local Depth. International Standards.

Nepal Trade Solutions was founded on a simple insight: international buyers importing from Nepal deserved a quality control partner who truly understood Nepal, not a global agency that parachutes in occasionally.

Nepal's handmade goods sector is unlike manufacturing in China or Southeast Asia. Production happens in small family workshops. Seasonal rhythms affect output. The quality challenges for hand-knotted carpets, felt products, and pashmina require product-specific expertise that only comes from years of on-the-ground work.

We built Nepal Trade Solutions to fill that gap: a Kathmandu-based team with deep factory relationships, product category expertise, and a buyer-first approach. Since 2020, we have protected the orders of buyers across Europe, North America, and beyond.

Our team brings together decades of combined experience in quality control, supply chain management, and Nepal's export industries. Every inspector on our roster has been trained in-house, with category-specific knowledge that spans hand-knotted carpets, felt products, pashmina, metal crafts, and puja items. This breadth of expertise means we can assess any production facility with the same rigorous standard.

Beyond inspection, we serve as a strategic bridge between buyers and Nepali suppliers. We help international clients navigate local business practices, coordinate logistics, and communicate quality expectations clearly to factory partners. Our presence in Kathmandu allows us to respond within hours, not days, and provide the kind of hands-on support that remote agencies simply cannot match.

HOW WE WORK

What Makes Us Different

Nepal-Only Focus

We do not operate in China, India, or anywhere else. Our sole focus is Nepal, which gives us unmatched factory access, local knowledge, and inspector availability.

No Subcontractors

Every inspection is conducted by our own team. We never outsource to third-party inspectors, so your report reflects consistent standards every time.

Buyer-Side Only

We work exclusively for international buyers, never for factories or suppliers. Our interests are aligned with yours: finding problems, not hiding them.

International Standards

All inspections follow ANSI/ASQ Z1.4 AQL standards. Our reports meet the documentation requirements of international buyers and their compliance teams.
