What is not included
- Paying, advancing or holding any funds on your behalf — money always flows between you and the factory (or via a platform).
- Guaranteeing product quality. Inspection is sampling-based; we report what we find, we do not warrant the goods.
- Certification work (CE / FDA / CCC submissions) — we can advise and coordinate accredited labs, but we do not issue certificates.
- Customs, freight forwarding or import duty handling.
