Buying industrial machines from China for the first time? Here is the standard process used across the industry — and plain explanations of the trade terms and payment methods you will meet. Where Kaige's own policy is still being finalized, we mark it [TBD] instead of guessing.
Tell us what you need via the website form, email, or WhatsApp: machine model, quantity, destination port, and your expected timeline.
We send a formal quotation based on your requirements, including trade terms and lead time. [TBD: quotation turnaround time]
Once the model, quantity, price, and trade terms are agreed, we issue a Proforma Invoice (PI).
The order takes effect once the deposit stated on the PI is received. [TBD: deposit ratio]
Your order enters our production schedule, with progress updates (photos/videos) at key milestones. [TBD: progress-update policy]
Every machine is fully tested before leaving the factory. You — or an inspection agency you appoint — are welcome to inspect the goods at our plant. [TBD: inspection policy]
The balance is due after inspection and before shipment. [TBD: balance terms]
We handle export customs clearance and arrange ocean shipment under the agreed trade terms. [TBD: port of loading]
Our relationship doesn't end at delivery. We supply matching strapping bands, seals, and wear parts — remind you before you run out — and provide long-term technical support for your machine. You focus on your product; we handle everything that wraps it.
These four Incoterms decide who pays for freight and insurance — and where risk passes from seller to buyer.
You arrange pickup at our factory and take on all costs and risks from there on.
We deliver the goods to the port of loading and load them on board the vessel. You cover ocean freight and insurance.
As FOB, plus we cover the ocean freight to your destination port.
As CFR, plus we cover marine insurance for the voyage.
Our default term: [TBD] (FOB is the most common default among peer exporters.)
The two methods most used in machinery trade:
Deposit with the order, balance before shipment. [TBD: deposit ratio and balance terms]
Peer practice commonly seen: 30% deposit, 70% balance paid before shipment.
A bank-guaranteed payment instrument for larger orders. [TBD: whether accepted; at sight or usance]
[TBD: e.g., D/P, Western Union]
[TBD] Peers commonly quote 15–30 days for standard models and 30–60 days for customized machines.
[TBD] Peers commonly accept orders from 1 unit/set.
[TBD] Peers commonly offer a 1-year warranty on the whole machine, excluding wear parts.
[TBD] Peer exporters generally welcome buyer or third-party inspection.
[TBD] Peers commonly offer 220V/380V and 50Hz/60Hz options.
[TBD] Peers commonly use export wooden cases plus stretch film.
[TBD] Common peer practice: video guidance, spare parts by express courier, and on-site engineer service (charged separately).
