Importing cleaning equipment from China is a proven path to competitive pricing and quality products. This guide walks you through the process from inquiry to delivery.
Step 1: Identify Your Requirements
Define the specifications, quantity, customization needs, target price, and timeline. Share these with potential suppliers to get accurate quotations.
Step 2: Evaluate Suppliers
Request: company profile and factory photos, product specifications and datasheets, CE certification documents, client references and case studies, sample videos of machines in operation. Arrange a video factory tour if possible.
Step 3: Understand Pricing Terms
FOB (Free on Board): Supplier delivers to the departure port. Buyer arranges shipping from there.
CIF (Cost, Insurance, Freight): Supplier covers shipping and insurance to the destination port.
DDP (Delivered Duty Paid): Supplier handles everything including customs clearance and duties.
Step 4: Quality Inspection
Arrange pre-shipment inspection: check machine operation, verify specifications against the purchase order, inspect for cosmetic defects, test battery and charging system. BIOCCE provides inspection reports with photos for every order.
Step 5: Shipping and Documentation
Standard shipping documents include: Commercial Invoice, Packing List, Bill of Lading (sea) or Air Waybill (air), Certificate of Origin, CE Declaration of Conformity, and Inspection Report.
Step 6: Customs Clearance
Work with a customs broker in your country. Typical clearance takes 2-5 days. Required documents vary by country – ensure your supplier provides all necessary certifications for your market.
