Frequently asked questions
Answers before you send the enquiry.
Are these photos of the exact quoted SKU?
No. They explain installation, inspection or buying context. Current model photos, drawings, samples and applicable reports should accompany the quotation.
What should I send for a comparable quotation?
Send the destination, quantity, buyer role, size, material, finish, set contents and documents you need.
How are approval, stock and lead time confirmed?
They are checked against the selected SKU, applicant, destination and commercial terms before any commitment.
What happens after the RFQ is received?
Specification gaps are clarified first so product, evidence, packing and logistics can be compared on the same basis.
Can I send a BOQ, drawing or reference photo?
Yes. Email the files to [email protected] with the destination market and expected quantity.
Can samples and packaging be approved before production?
Yes. The sample, label artwork, carton marks and packing method can be recorded as approval points before mass production.
Who gives the final confirmation on market compliance?
The buyer or importer and the relevant approval authority make the final determination. We help organize model-linked documents and do not describe a product as approved until that status is confirmed.
Can different products share one shipment?
Often yes, subject to carton, pallet, label, destination and loading controls. The workable mix is confirmed against quantities and packing data.
What can change the final price or lead time?
Alloy, finish, packaging, MOQ, documentation, sample approval and the shipping schedule can all affect the final commercial offer.
