What the inspection report looks like
A statistical sample is inspected to ISO 2859-1. Defects are classed as critical, major or minor and compared with the agreed AQL limits. You see the result before the goods ship and decide what happens next.

Common questions
Short answers to what buyers usually ask first.
Do I have to use every step?
No. If you already have a supplier, we can start at inspection or shipping. If you only need a factory found, we can stop after samples.
Which countries do you source from?
China and Japan, and in Southeast Asia: Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Cambodia and the Philippines. We recommend the country that fits your product, cost and risk, not the one that is easiest for us. See sourcing hubs.
Where can you deliver?
We work most often with buyers in Central Asia and the United States, and deliver to other markets on request.
Can you handle certification?
Yes, including EAC certification for the Eurasian Economic Union and PSE for Japan. We confirm the rules for your market at the quote stage.
How are payments made?
In milestones tied to the work: a deposit when the order is confirmed and the balance after the goods pass inspection. Supplier payments are made in local currency or USD. See Payments for the full picture.
What trade terms do you quote on?
EXW, FOB, CIF or DDP, whichever suits you. DDP means door to door, with duties and customs clearance handled.
