Frequently Asked Questions
See frequently asked questions below.
What is the best payment term for first-time fastener orders from China?
For first-time orders, use T/T 30% deposit + 70% against copy of BL (Bill of Lading). This protects the buyer — you only pay the balance when the goods are shipped and you receive proof. Avoid 100% T/T in advance for orders over $5,000. For established suppliers with a track record, you can negotiate T/T 30 days after B/L date.
How much discount can I expect when ordering fasteners in full containers?
Full container orders (20ft) typically get 15-25% lower pricing compared to less-than-container-load (LCL) orders. The discount increases with volume commitment — ordering 2-4 containers per order can achieve 20-30% savings. Annual volume commitments (100+ containers/year) can reach 25-40% discount from Chinese factories.
What quality certifications should I request from Chinese fastener suppliers?
Request: (1) Certificate of Origin (COO) for tariff verification; (2) Mill Test Reports (MTR) / Material Certificates showing steel grade and chemical composition; (3) ISO 9001:2015 certificate of the factory; (4) SGS or similar third-party inspection report for quality verification; (5) For specific standards (DIN, ISO, ASTM), request compliance documentation.
