Delivery scope & project costs

Plan your shipmentAgree the scope before comparing costs

A mold, a batch of parts and a production program have different delivery requirements. Define what is included in each quotation and confirm import costs for the actual destination.

Option 01

Export the tool

For production at your own facility.

Agree press interfaces, trial acceptance, packing, freight, import clearance and installation responsibilities before shipment.

Option 02

Produce molded parts

For tooling and production in Shenzhen.

Agree tool ownership, storage, maintenance, part inspection, batch quantities and shipment terms. Imported parts require their own customs classification.

Option 03

Plan an initial batch

For a launch or transition between facilities.

Discuss a limited production batch alongside the tooling plan. Confirm approval samples, batch pricing, transit timing and the later tool-transfer scope.

Classification & origin

The applicable duty depends on the goods' classification and country of origin. Confirm these for the actual mold or parts; one catalog category is not a customs classification.
