Who handles customs and duties on a presspaper order?

On our standard terms, you do. We clear the goods for export from China and provide the packing list and commercial invoice; import clearance, duties and taxes in the destination country are the buyer's responsibility because they require a local importer of record. We quote EXW Dongguan or FOB Shenzhen Yantian, and we do not offer delivered pricing with duties prepaid.

Do you keep stock in an overseas warehouse?

No. Production and dispatch are from Qiaotou, Dongguan, with the nearest port at Yantian, Shenzhen. There is no overseas stock and no single-piece drop shipping.

How long does a container take?

15 to 20 days for a 40HQ including production and the ocean leg. If capacity allows we can compress it to 7 to 10 days, confirmed against the schedule at the time of order.

Trade terms, MOQ and lead time

Short answer on the question buyers ask us most: customs clearance in your country is yours, not ours. We clear the export side from China and hand you the packing list and invoice. Import clearance, duties and taxes need a local importer of record, and a Chinese factory cannot be one for you. We say this in the quotation rather than in the argument afterwards.

Terms we quote on

Two terms, one responsibility line
Term	Our obligation ends	Your obligation starts	Notes
EXW Dongguan	At our works in Qiaotou, Dongguan	Pick-up, inland haul, export formalities, freight, import	Cheapest headline price; you arrange more
FOB Shenzhen Yantian	Goods loaded at Yantian port	Ocean freight, insurance, import clearance, duties	Usual choice for container buyers; Yantian is the nearest port to our works
Delivered terms with duties prepaid	Not offered. If your procurement policy requires delivered pricing, budget for your own freight forwarder to handle the leg from Yantian

Order floor and what a first order looks like

Item	Floor	Why
Rolls	100 m²	Low on purpose, so a first order can be a trial rather than a commitment
Die-cut parts	Confirmed after drawing and tooling review	Tooling cost and cavity count depend on the geometry
Mixed container	Accepted, min. 10 cartons per SKU	Mixing below that breaks the packing plan and the loading record
Samples	Free, ship in 3–5 days	Freight collected from the recipient

Time, capacity and documents

Item	Value
Sample dispatch	3–5 days, free, freight collected
40HQ lead time	15–20 days, production plus ocean leg
Rush	7–10 days when the schedule allows; confirmed at order
Monthly capacity	About 8 × 40HQ, specification dependent
Packing	Export cartons for rolls and sheets; die-cut parts 5,000 or 10,000 pcs per bag depending on size
Loading	Palletising, stretch wrap and bracing at no charge; loading photos or video on request; your inspector is welcome on site
Export documents	Packing list and commercial invoice
Domestic VAT	13 %, VAT special invoice available for purchases inside China
Quotation validity	30 days from the date the quotation is sent, and the date on the quotation is the day it was sent

On the 30 days It is a decision window, not a cost lock. Raw pulp and freight both move, and a supplier who holds a price for a year is either absorbing your risk into a margin you already paid or has not thought about it.

Storage after delivery — it is not inert stock

Keep the material dry and out of direct sun. Paper that has taken up moisture changes both its electrical and its dimensional behaviour.
Adhesive-backed stock: keep and apply it between 13 °C and 33 °C, never below freezing. The temperature rating is +105 °C; 13–33 °C is where the adhesive behaves correctly. A container parked in a hot yard in July is a real failure mode, not a theoretical one.
