What inspection stages are carried out before shipment?
Control is divided into three mandatory stages. Inspection is initiated after order confirmation and completed prior to container loading.
| Stage | What we inspect | Timeline |
| 1. Pre-production audit | Raw materials, workshop equipment, licences, compliance with technical specifications | 2–3 working days |
| 2. During-production inspection (DUPRO) | Assembly progress, first batches, dimensions, marking | During production |
| 3. Pre-shipment inspection (PSI) | Finished goods, packaging, palletising, photo documentation | 48 hours before shipment |
What delivery parameters and minimum volumes do you provide?
We operate on direct contracts with no intermediary chain. We draw up specifications to your technical requirements and calculate logistics taking into account customs payments and insurance.
| Parameter | Details |
| Minimum volume (MOQ) | From 20 tonnes (sheet/rolled products), from 50 tonnes (pipes/rebar) |
| Delivery term | FOB (Chinese port), CIF (port of destination), DDP (client’s warehouse) |
| Batch certification | Factory quality certificates, test protocols to GB/T, GOST, DIN |
| Commercial proposal preparation time | 24–48 hours after receipt of technical specifications |
