Two ways we get paid — nothing else shows up on your invoice. On goods we add nothing; our margin is the export VAT the state refunds to the exporter of record. When you need a person on the ground, you pay one day rate.
You pay the factory’s invoice price. We are paid by the export VAT rebate the state refunds to the exporter of record — not by a margin added to your price.
One rate for every job that puts our person in front of the factory — audit, inspection, taking you through the plant, walking a trade fair with you. Want the number for your audit before you write? Run the factory audit cost calculator.
Our person is in the plant, watching the crate get strapped, counting the pieces, signing only when the count matches. That is what a day rate buys — not an email.
The export VAT rebate on this shipment belongs to the exporter of record. We act as that exporter, the state refunds the tax portion of the invoice to us, and nothing is added to your price. Whatever you agree with the factory is what appears on the invoice.
Report in 48 hours: the entity checked against its licence, floor photos, real capacity, and the six checks that catch a trading company posing as the maker.
Checklist by item, photos, pass/fail on every line, report in 48 hours. Nothing ships before you have seen it.
A full inspection sheet walked through with a certified technician — technician 2,000 CNY per day on top. Nameplate, emission label and hour-meter photos first; water and fire damage before anything else.
Interpreter, driver, bookings — and the questions worth asking while you are standing on the floor. A fair-and-plant week, priced day by day.
Send the list or the drawings. You get the quote and a straight answer on whether anyone needs to be on site. Nothing to pay.
Site work is booked once 70% is in — that is when we assign the person, book the car and fix the date with the plant.
Our person is in the plant and sends video from the floor. You release the remaining 30% after you have seen it.
Goods run the other way: 30% down to start production, 70% before shipment. Travel at cost with receipts.
The export VAT rebate on the shipment belongs to the exporter of record. We act as that exporter, so the state refunds the tax portion of the tax-inclusive invoice to us and we have no reason to add anything to your price.
Three things you can do at any time: bring a quotation you sourced yourself and compare; ask for the factory’s original proforma invoice; send a third party to verify. We have run more than 800 audits in person — being caught padding a price is the one thing that would end this business.
The tax-inclusive domestic price. An FOB quote handed to you at a trade-fair stand is a different price basis and the two cannot be compared line for line. Ask us to state the basis in writing before you compare offers.
Phones, ready-made clothing, leather goods, food, personal-shopper orders. China having the capacity does not mean we add anything — our audit and inspection work earns nothing back on this kind of order.
Mini excavators in the United States, for example: Chinese makers hold stock in California, Chicago and Houston, delivered cheaper than we can ship one for you. That trade does not exist, and we will say so.
We are not a guarantor. What we can do is make the money path explicit and check the documents — beneficiary name against the letterhead, word for word.
