1. Step One - You supply product information such as specifications, drawings, special material requirements, target price, quantities and anticipated lead-time. Note: Your target price times the quantity you are seeking should equal $50,000US or higher to make manufacturing in China economically practical.
2. Step Two - A thorough analysis of your product is performed by our Beijing engineering staff to help determine whether it is a "sourcing" project (product is currently being manufactured within your specifications) or a "contract manufacturing" project. We will determine the tooling cost and ask you whether or not you want a tooled sample or a "hand-made" sample. If it is the latter, there may be a "tooling" charge.
4. Step Four - If a sample order is requested, a quotation for the sample is provided and upon your inspection and approval, purchase orders for contract quantities are placed.
5. Step Five - Mass production is begun, you advise us of your preferred shipping methods (air or ocean freight).
6. Step Six - Production is completed, packaged according to your specifications and your order is loaded into a shipping container for delivery to the USA and to your facility.
