Exporter Guide
The Journey fromBronze to GoldVerified Status
At The Exporter Hub, we believe credibility must be earned, not purchased. We reject the model of paid listing services. Your status on our platform is a reflection of your verifiable operational excellence and consistent performance.
This guide outlines the journey of every exporter, from initial registration (Bronze) to achieving the pinnacle of global trust (Gold).
Status Tiers: Performance, Not Payment
Your Verification Status is purely based on the successful completion of our VaaS (Verification-as-a-Service) criteria, including the mandatory On-Site Factory Audit and trade performance history. You cannot pay to bypass a lower tier.

| 🥉 Bronze | Legal Registration (IEC, GST, PAN) and Basic Documentation Screening (Step 1 & 2 of VaaS). | Limited (Lead access to Small Size Order like 1 to 2 Container). | Access to Export Training programs and the Knowledge Hub.300 + Leads. |
| 🥈 Silver | Full Compliance Desk Audit, Verified Export History (3+ years), and Strong Financial Health. | Medium (Access to verified medium-volume up to 10 container). | Unlimited Leads + Access to Preferential Logistics Tie-Ups and Basic Dispute Support. |
| 🥇 Gold | Successful Mandatory On-Site Factory Audit, Excellent QC Protocols, 5+ Years Export History, and High Compliance Score. | Highest Priority (Exclusive access to high-value buyers seeking the Zero-Risk Guarantee). | All Silver benefits + Eligibility for Zero-Risk Sourcing Guarantee, Trade Show Participation Support, and Direct Buyer Meeting Arrangement. |
Phase 1: The Bronze Foundation (Knowledge & Compliance)
This is the starting point for every registered exporter.
Focus: Establishing Legal Validity and Foundational Knowledge.
Action for Exporter: Complete the basic documentation upload and enroll in our Export Training Programs. This phase is critical to ensuring your internal documentation meets international standards.
Leads: Bronze status primarily allows you to utilize our training tools and access local/domestic trade leads to build initial momentum and verified order history.
Phase 2: The Silver Ascent (Performance & Preparation)
Once you have a verified history of several successful orders (verified through shipping documentation and bank statements), you are eligible to apply for Silver Status.
Focus: Demonstrating Consistent Trade Performance and Financial Stability.
Action for Exporter: Submit detailed proof of operational history (3 years minimum) and agree to preliminary compliance checks.
Leads: Silver Exporters receive access to mid-tier international buyer leads, focusing on regions where the compliance demands are moderate. This is the last step before the physical audit.
Phase 3: Achieving Gold Verification (Trust & Guarantee)
The Gold Status is the ultimate endorsement of your operational excellence and quality assurance. This requires passing the Mandatory On-Site Factory Audit.
Focus: Passing the Physical Audit and Gaining Financial Credibility.
Action for Exporter: Successfully complete the On-Site Factory Audit (Step 3 of the VaaS Process) with an excellent Quality Control (QC) score.
Leads: Gold Verified Exporters are given Highest Priority Access to the most valuable global buyers who specifically require the Zero-Risk Sourcing Guarantee. Your Gold Status acts as an instant seal of approval for these high-margin orders.
The Exporter Hub is your partner in growth. By moving from Bronze to Gold, you not only improve your internal operations but also unlock the highest tier of financial security for buyers, which is the key to accelerating your market share across 100+ countries.
