The ten most practical questions from overseas buyers, answered at once.
Quick answers
- DDP or DDU? DDP lands all-in; large volumes can switch to DDU and self-clear;
- Duty rates? Per each country’s HS code; set-top boxes mostly 0-8%, included in DDP quotes;
- Certificates? CE/FCC copies ship with B2B orders;
- Transit? Sea 30-45 days / air 7-10 days / overseas-warehouse stock 3 days;
- Our brand? Full ODM including packaging;
- After-sales? Regional spare-parts depots + video diagnostics;
- MOQ? See the ODM ten Q&As;
- Payment? T/T 30% deposit standard, L/C negotiable;
- Sample freight? DHL/FedEx collect accounts supported;
- Manuals? Multi-language printed and digital, customizable.
Advice for first orders
For a first partnership, run the whole chain with a small DDP air shipment — validating packaging, customs and after-sales before scaling to sea freight and volume. Switching logistics later costs far less than trial and error at scale.
