Can repaired goods be shipped back out?
Yes where the onward scope allows it. Plan the repair lead time and the re-export documents together.
Can goods be inspected and graded?
Inspection and condition reporting can be added where the criteria are agreed in advance. Confirm what the report has to capture.
What documents does a return need?
Usually a return or proforma invoice, a packing list and the transport document, plus any product or warranty paperwork the destination requires.
Can you collect returns from outside China?
Collection depends on the origin, the goods and the agreed scope. Share the pickup point and condition so the route can be checked.
Does consolidation change the documents?
Consolidated cargo is usually documented as one consignment. Confirm how the invoice and packing list should be prepared.
Can you inspect or repack cargo?
Inspection, repacking and labelling can be added where the requirements are specified in advance. Confirm the criteria before cargo arrives.
How long can cargo be stored?
Storage is agreed per shipment. Share the expected duration when you request the plan so handling and charges can be confirmed.
Can supplier orders be combined at a China warehouse?
Yes. Share supplier locations, ready dates and packing details so the receiving and consolidation plan can be checked.
What happens if a shipment is inspected?
Inspection adds time and can add storage or handling charges. Plan the timeline with that possibility in mind.
Can duties and taxes be quoted in advance?
Estimates can be prepared from the product and its classification, but the assessed amount follows the entry. Ask which charges are included.
