Shipping, MOQ and trade terms

How an order is quoted, packed and dispatched — and which parts are fixed and which depend on what you buy.

Trade terms

Fixed process. Quoted numbers.

Every line below is a real answer, not a placeholder. Where a number depends on your order, we say so instead of publishing one that will not apply to you.

From order to container

What actually happens, in order.

01

Quote

You send the SKU list, quantity and destination. We return unit price, MOQ, Incoterms and lead time in one message.

02

Proforma invoice

Terms are written down: SKUs, quantities, packaging, price basis, payment schedule and confirmed dates.

03

Artwork or stock confirmation

Private label runs go through proof approval. Stock-packaging orders skip straight to scheduling.

04

Production and packing

Kits are assembled, packed to your carton spec and checked against the packing list.

05

Documents and dispatch

MSDS, COA, packing list and commercial invoice are issued, then the shipment moves by sea, air or express according to the terms agreed.

Notes that save a shipment

  • Freight mode changes the pack. Express and air shipments get cartons rated for handling; sea freight can take a heavier, larger carton. Tell us the mode before we set the carton spec.
  • Chemical classification matters. The resin determines how the shipment can travel and what paperwork accompanies it. This is settled at quoting, not at the port.
  • Mixed containers are normal. Any combination of the four lines can go into one container, but the carton counts have to be worked out per line.
  • Season matters. Orders placed against a marketplace launch date need the lead time counted backwards from the launch, not from the order date.
