1. What kind of Payment terms can you support?
Aisirui Tangshan Ceramic is committed to offering flexible and secure payment options to foster seamless international trade partnerships with our B2B clients worldwide. We typically support the following primary payment methods:
•Telegraphic Transfer (T/T): This is the most common international payment method. We generally require an advance deposit of 30% of the total order value, with the remaining balance due either before shipment or upon receipt of the Bill of Lading (B/L) copy. The specific percentage can be negotiated based on the order volume and established business relationship.
•Letter of Credit (L/C): For substantial orders or initial collaborations, we accept irrevocable Letters of Credit at sight. This method provides enhanced transaction security for both the buyer and the seller, mitigating financial risks.
•Western Union or MoneyGram: For smaller sample orders or urgent payments, we can also accommodate these expedited remittance services.
We understand that clients from diverse countries and regions may have varying payment preferences and regulatory requirements. Please communicate your specific needs during the inquiry process, and our dedicated sales team will propose the most suitable solution. All transactions adhere to international trade practices, ensuring the utmost security of your funds.
2. What is the Typical Delivery Time for Wholesale Orders?
Aisirui Tangshan Ceramic operates with highly efficient production lines and stringent quality control protocols to ensure timely order fulfillment. Generally, the average lead time for wholesale orders is between 30 to 45 days. However, the precise delivery schedule can be influenced by several key factors:
•Order Quantity: Larger volume orders may naturally require an extended production cycle.
•Product Customization Requirements: If your order involves specific designs, unique colors, or specialized functional customizations (OEM/ODM), the production time will be adjusted accordingly.
•Production Schedule: During peak seasons or holiday periods, our production capacity may be heavily booked. We recommend confirming the schedule in advance during these times.
•Logistics and Shipping Method: The chosen mode of transportation (sea freight, air freight, or land transport) will also impact the final arrival date.
We advise you to discuss your delivery expectations in detail with our sales representatives before placing an order. We will provide an accurate delivery estimate based on current production capacity and logistical considerations. For urgent orders, we will endeavor to prioritize production to meet your project deadlines.
3. What is the Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) for Products?
The Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) at Aisirui Tangshan Ceramic varies depending on the specific product type and any customization involved. As a professional ceramic sanitary ware manufacturer, we cater to the diverse needs of our B2B clientele.
•Standard Products: For our standard ceramic sanitary ware products listed in our catalog (e.g., bathroom cabinet sinks, wall-hung basins, two-piece toilets), the MOQ typically ranges from 50 to 100 pieces. This volume allows us to optimize production efficiency and offer more competitive pricing.
•Customized Products: For OEM/ODM custom designs, the MOQ may be higher due to mold development, specialized material sourcing, and production line adjustments. Specific MOQs for customized items will be discussed and agreed upon with our sales team.
•Sample Orders: We actively support sample orders, enabling clients to evaluate product quality and design before committing to bulk purchases. The MOQ for sample orders is generally lower, and in some cases, single-piece procurement is acceptable
We encourage you to directly contact our sales team to inquire about specific products and your anticipated purchasing volume. We will provide detailed MOQ information and flexible solutions tailored to your business requirements.
4. Which International Trade Terms can you accept?
Aisirui Tangshan Ceramic is well-versed in and adheres to the Incoterms® rules published by the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), ensuring clarity and efficiency in international trade. We commonly accept the following major trade terms:
•FOB (Free On Board): This is one of the most frequently used terms, meaning that the seller (Aisirui) is responsible for delivering the goods on board the vessel nominated by the buyer at the named port of shipment. Risk and cost transfer to the buyer once the goods are on board. We handle the transportation to the port of shipment and export customs clearance.
•CIF (Cost, Insurance and Freight): Under this term, we are responsible for delivering the goods to the named port of destination and paying for the cost and freight, as well as marine insurance. Risk transfers to the buyer once the goods are on board the vessel at the port of shipment.
•EXW (Ex Works): The buyer assumes all risks and costs from the moment the goods are made available at our factory . This term is suitable for buyers who prefer to manage their own transportation and customs clearance.
•CFR (Cost and Freight): Similar to CIF, but the seller (Aisirui) is not obligated to procure insurance against the buyer’s risk of loss of or damage to the goods during transit. Risk transfers at the port of shipment.
We recommend selecting the trade term that best aligns with your logistical capabilities, risk appetite, and cost control objectives. Our logistics team can provide professional consultation and assistance to ensure your goods arrive safely and efficiently at their destination.
5. What is the Product Warranty Period for Sanitary Ware?
Aisirui Tangshan Ceramic stands behind the quality of every ceramic sanitary ware product we manufacture and offers a reliable quality assurance. We typically provide a limited warranty period of 2 to 5 years for our products, with the specific duration varying based on the product type and components.
•Ceramic Body: For the main ceramic components such as basins and toilets, we generally offer a 5-year warranty, covering manufacturing defects and material issues.
•Accessories and Functional Parts: For internal fittings, toilet seats, and installation hardware, the warranty period is typically 2 years.
The detailed terms and conditions of our warranty policy will be clearly stipulated in the sales contract. Please retain your purchase documentation. Should you encounter any quality issues during use, please promptly contact our after-sales service team, and we will provide professional solutions and technical support.
6. Are Samples Provided Free of Charge, or Do I Need to Pay for Them?
Aisirui Tangshan Ceramic encourages our B2B clients to obtain samples before making bulk purchases, allowing for a comprehensive evaluation of our product quality, design, and craftsmanship. Regarding sample costs, our policy is as follows:
•Sample Fee: Generally, samples require a payment. This fee primarily covers the production cost of the sample, packaging, and associated shipping expenses.
•Fee Deduction: If you decide to place a bulk order after receiving and approving the samples, the sample fee can be deducted from the total value of your subsequent bulk order. Please confirm the specific deduction policy with our sales team.
