MOQs vary by product and factory. Surgical instruments typically start at 500–1,000 pieces per product line. Sports goods (footballs) start from 500 units. Leather gloves and knitwear can start as low as 200–300 pieces. We always negotiate the best possible MOQ for new buyers on their first order.

Most factories accept Letter of Credit (LC at sight or 30/60/90 days), Telegraphic Transfer (TT — typically 30% advance, 70% before shipment), and Documents against Payment (DP). For long-term buyers we can also arrange open account terms after establishing a track record.

Standard lead times: Surgical instruments 4–6 weeks, Sports equipment 5–8 weeks, Leather goods 6–10 weeks, Hosiery & knitwear 4–7 weeks. Sea freight to Europe takes 20–25 days, to the USA 25–30 days. Air freight is available for urgent orders (3–5 days transit).

We operate a 3-stage QC process: (1) Pre-production inspection — raw materials and specifications check, (2) During-production inspection — random sampling at 30–40% production completion, (3) Pre-shipment inspection — full AQL 2.5 inspection of finished goods before the container is sealed. Detailed reports with photos are shared after each stage.

No — submitting an inquiry, receiving factory profiles, getting sample quotes, and accessing our market research reports are all completely free. We earn a small sourcing commission from the factory only when a confirmed bulk order is placed, so there is zero cost or risk to you as a buyer at the inquiry and sample stage.
