Our Story
The Gap Between Specification and Supply Costs Builders Too Much
Your Import Partner was founded after years of watching builders, renovators, and owner-builders overpay for materials available overseas if you could manage the quality and logistics.
Our founding team brings together 15 years of Australian Defence Force logistics and procurement experience with deep commercial expertise in international supply chains, quality control, and project management.
We built yip to be the partner we wished existed. We take responsibility for the entire process, providing a service, not just the product. One point of contact. One clear price. One less thing to manage on a complex project.
Veteran-owned and operated-
Australian registered business
- Direct manufacturer relationships across Asia-Pacific
- End-to-end logistics management
How We Work
Four Principles That Drive Every Project.
We are not a catalogue. We are a managed service partner, dedicated to improving your margin, quality, and jobsite ease.
01
Military Discipline
Founded by veterans, we apply the same rigour to supply chain management that we learned in service. Clear processes, zero ambiguity, and accountability at every step.
02
Direct Manufacturer Access
We have spent years building relationships with verified overseas manufacturers. No agents, no middlemen — just direct access to the source, with the quality controls to match.
03
Client-First Operations
Every client gets a dedicated point of contact. We don’t process orders — we manage projects. That means proactive communication, not reactive problem-solving.
04
Commercial Integrity
We quote what we can deliver. We deliver what we quote. If something changes, you hear about it from us first.
The Team
Small by Design.
Specialist by Nature.
No generalists, no account managers who don’t know the product — just specialists who do one thing and do it well.
