The work between your purchase order and the container
Buying six families of hardware in China is six negotiations, six inspections and six sets of documents. This is the part we take over.
What we do
- 6families
- 254references
Sourcing
We keep the relationship with the plants, so a reference can be re-ordered the same way two years later. For a new line we look at two plants and compare the samples before the prices.
- ·Plant licence and production line verified
- ·Two quotations per new reference
- ·Sample measured and photographed
Quality control
Dimensions, finish, marking and count are checked in the plant while the lot is being made, and again before the container is sealed. The certificate is collected at the same time.
- ·In-line and pre-shipment inspection
- ·Photographs of the lot on file
- ·Mill test certificate per lot
Consolidation
Six suppliers deliver to one warehouse in Shanghai. We weigh and label the pallets, write the packing list family by family, and load the container in the order it will be unloaded.
- ·One warehouse, one container
- ·Pallet labels with reference and quantity
- ·Loading plan by weight
Export documents
Commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading and certificate of origin. The tariff code is agreed with you before production, so nothing is reclassified at the border.
- ·Tariff code agreed in advance
- ·FOB, CFR or CIF
- ·Your forwarder or ours
Send the list and we price it
Reference, size, quantity and destination port. A quotation comes back with the unit price, the minimum per line, the Incoterm and the lead time.
