Frequently asked questions

What is the price difference between EXW, FOB, and CIF?

For a typical 1-container (40HQ) order: EXW USD 18,000 → FOB Shenzhen +USD 800 (inland + export clearance) → CIF Hamburg +USD 2,800 (sea freight + insurance). Total spread EXW to CIF: USD 3,600 (20% markup over EXW). For smaller orders below 1 container, the spread is higher per piece (USD 3-5/piece for LCL vs USD 0.10/piece for FCL).

Do you offer DDP or DAP pricing?

NO. Kexin does NOT offer DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) or DAP (Delivered at Place) pricing. Reason: requires us to maintain foreign business registration, VAT accounts, customs broker licenses, and inventory in destination countries — a complex and expensive undertaking. We offer: (1) EXW Guangdong factory; (2) FOB Shenzhen or Ningbo port; (3) CIF major ports (Hamburg, Rotterdam, Los Angeles, etc.) on request. Customer handles import clearance with their own broker. This typically saves 5-10% vs DDP pricing due to elimination of middleman markup.

What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?

Standard MOQ 500 pieces for OEM Pantone colour and custom logo. Standard colours and hot-stamp logo from 100 pieces. Custom solutions from 1000 pieces for best unit price.

What is the lead time?

Standard lead time 30–45 days after artwork approval for OEM/ODM. Sample production 7–10 days. EXW Guangdong factory or FOB Shenzhen / Ningbo port. B2B only.

Which certificates and standards do the cases meet?

CE, RoHS 2/3 (EU 2015/863), REACH (EC 1907/2006), ISO 9001:2015, BSCI certified. On request: IP67/IP68 test reports per IEC 60529, MIL-STD-810H drop test, ATA 300 air transport tests. Each shipment includes compliance documentation.
