Frequently Asked Questions

Answers about sourcing, manufacturing, importing and logistics from China.

How do I start sourcing from China?
Share the product specifications, quantity and destination. We can plan supplier research and a tailored quotation.
What is a minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
MOQ is the smallest order a manufacturer accepts. It depends on the product, material and customization.
How are reliable manufacturers identified?
We review business records, production capability, product documents, samples and, when appropriate, factory inspections.
Can I order samples?
Yes. Sample charges, preparation time and shipping costs depend on the product and supplier.
Can products be made under my brand?
Depending on the manufacturer, OEM/ODM options may include your logo, packaging, colors and specifications.
What is the difference between OEM and ODM?
OEM follows the customer’s specifications; ODM may adapt an existing design developed by the manufacturer.
How are payments scheduled?
Some production projects use 50% upfront and 50% after production. Exact milestones and terms are agreed in writing.
How long does production take?
Lead times depend on complexity, quantity, sample approval and factory capacity. An estimate is included in the quotation.
Is quality inspection available?
Depending on the project, inspections can be arranged before, during or after production and before shipment.
How can goods be shipped to Türkiye?
Sea and air freight options are compared according to volume, weight, budget and delivery needs.
How are customs duties calculated?
Duties depend on tariff classification, origin and current regulations. Confirm final amounts with a licensed customs broker.
Is door-to-door delivery possible?
It may be available for eligible goods and routes. Customs, duties and local delivery scope are specified in the quote.
Which import documents are needed?
Common documents include a commercial invoice, packing list and transport documents; product-specific certificates may also be required.
How does the manufacturing defect warranty work?
Warranty duration, coverage and claim procedures depend on the product and signed agreement; coverage is not unconditional.
What details are needed for a quotation?
Send photos or drawings, specifications, quantity, target budget, delivery address and any branding or packaging requests.
Can I import small quantities?
Small orders may be feasible depending on supplier minimums and freight costs. Consolidated or less-than-container-load options can be evaluated.
Can goods from several suppliers be combined?
Combined shipments may be arranged depending on product compatibility and logistics. Warehousing and consolidation scope is confirmed before ordering.
Is LCL or a full container more economical?
LCL can suit smaller shipments, while full containers may be better for larger volumes. The best option depends on volume, weight and delivery needs.
Is warehouse receiving and counting available in China?
Warehouse receiving, quantity checks and short-term storage may be arranged through suitable project partners, subject to the agreed scope.
Which products need additional import permits?
Electronics, toys, cosmetics, medical items and food-contact goods may require tests, certificates or permits. Current rules must be checked per product.
Can I estimate customs costs before ordering?
A preliminary estimate can be based on tariff classification, origin, value and delivery terms. Final figures must be checked with a licensed customs broker.
What happens if my shipment is held at customs?
The reason for the hold and missing documents are reviewed with the customs broker. Timelines and release outcomes cannot be guaranteed.
Do I need a registered business for commercial imports?
Commercial importers must meet registration and tax obligations. Consult a qualified local accountant or adviser about the appropriate legal structure.
Do you source products for Amazon and online sellers?
Product research can be tailored to marketplace packaging, labeling and specification requirements. Platform rules should be verified separately.
Can I reorder the same product regularly?
Yes. Repeat orders can be planned around consistent specifications, quality checks, production schedules and updated pricing.
How can import costs be reduced?
Clear specifications, comparing factory offers, efficient packaging and choosing suitable freight methods may help reduce overall costs.
Can ALPES GLOBAL coordinate the full import process?
Supplier research, production follow-up, shipping and customs coordination can be included according to the agreed project scope.
