Planning an imported drinkware order starts with the model, quantity, logo, packing and destination. We manufacture in Yongkang, Zhejiang, and can help bring those details into a quotation, sample and shipment plan.
Since 1998, our Yongkang team has helped buyers organise drinkware production and export orders. Start with the brief and we can work through the sample, packing, documents and shipment with you.

Details to settle before production
Plan a sample before bulk production so you can confirm the body, colour, logo and packing together.
Discuss the requested product reports while the order is being quoted, including any new testing and its timing.
Compare quotations using the same construction, decoration, quantity and packing. We can help make those details clear in the quote.
If you want a third-party inspection, share the plan early. We can coordinate a booking with SGS, BV, Intertek or your appointed inspector and confirm the timing.
If warning labels are requested for the programme, send the wording, placement and label files with the packing brief. We can agree the applicable preparation while your buyer or adviser confirms the requirements.
Frequently asked questions
Which import documents should I request before ordering?▾
Ask your importer or buyer for the documents required for the selected product and destination. Share that request with the model reference so we can check available product reports and the shipping documents for the agreed route.
Who handles import clearance under the chosen delivery term?▾
Responsibility depends on the agreed Incoterm and route. Confirm who arranges export, main transport, destination clearance, duties and final delivery in the quotation before the order is placed.
What information should I send for a drinkware shipping quote?▾
Share the model, order quantity, destination, packing choice, carton dimensions and gross weight when available. Include the delivery term you want compared so the quote can state the shipping basis.
How should I compare courier, air and sea options for a small order?▾
Compare the required arrival date with the packed volume, destination and budget. Courier can be convenient for small shipments, while air or sea options have different cost and transit trade-offs; request a route-specific quote.
What should I confirm before approving an import delivery term?▾
Confirm the named handover point and who arranges export, main transport, destination clearance, duties and final delivery. Ask for included and excluded charges to be stated in the quotation.
When should I share the required arrival date with the supplier?▾
Share the destination and needed arrival date with the model, quantity, artwork and packing brief. That gives the parties a basis to confirm the order schedule and shipping route for those specific details.
Which sales representative should I contact for samples, mock-ups or a quotation on this topic?▾
