Sample Ordering and Evaluation:

To assess the quality and suitability of Garbo Flatware's products, consider ordering samples. This will allow you to evaluate the craftsmanship, design, and overall quality of the flatware. Wholesale cutlery suppliers may provide samples for free or at a discounted price. Carefully examine the samples to ensure they meet your expectations.

Once you are satisfied with the samples and pricing, it's time to negotiate the terms and conditions of the import agreement. Discuss factors such as order quantities, packaging requirements, delivery terms, payment terms, and any specific customization needs. Ensure all aspects of the agreement are clearly understood and agreed upon by both parties.

Place the Order:

After reaching a mutual agreement, place the order with Garbo Flatware. Provide all necessary details, including product codes, quantities, packaging preferences, and any customization requirements. Clarify the agreed-upon payment terms and initiate the payment as per the agreed schedule. Garbo will sign the official Proforma Invoice to customers.

Proofing:

For stock products, we typically utilize standard packaging. If the products are readily available in stock, they can be shipped within shortest 7 working days. However, for mass production, we collaborate with the customer to determine specific packaging requirements. This involves discussing packaging design, materials, and layout to ensure a seamless fit. Prior to proceeding with mass production, we conduct a proofing process to confirm that the sample packaging accurately represents the intended final packaging and product.

In the case of customized products, Garbo's design department takes charge of mold design or post-processing. Once the design is finalized and approved, we arrange for the creation of a 3D model sample. This sample offers a true-to-life representation of the final product, complete with the confirmed design, size, logo, and other pertinent details. Subsequently, we proceed with mold production and proofing based on this approved sample. The sample used for proofing is representative of the mass-produced goods. We share this sample with the customer to obtain their final confirmation before proceeding with full-scale production.

Produce:

After the proofing confirmation, we will start the production schedule, usually after the packaging production is completed. Upon receiving your order, Garbo Flatware will commence production according to the agreed specifications. We will have professional QC to inspect the products before shipment, to check the quality of the products, and send the pictures and videos to customers for confirmation.

We will ensure the production process adheres to the highest quality standards. Our QC will control the quality according to the strictest inspection standards, and customer request for third party inspection is also allowed. This will help ensure that the flatware meets your expectations in terms of design, materials, and workmanship.

QC: 

Containerization and Transportation: Before the completion of the big shipment, we will arrange the booking in advance according to the time of completion of the shipment, if the customer has not cooperated with the freight forwarder, the customer needs to start to look for a reliable freight forwarder when confirming the order, and we will book the cabin with the freight forwarder before the completion of the shipment in order to arrange the transportation. We will arrange the loading of the container after the warehouse is fixed, and the customer will receive the complete loading pictures and the final commercial invoice and loading list.

Final payment:

Upon reviewing the pictures of the final goods, customers can proceed to arrange the final payment. Once the final payment is received, we promptly issue the bill of lading to the designated forwarder. Customers can then utilize our documents to efficiently clear the goods upon their arrival at the port.

Customs Clearance and Import Duties:

Before importing the flatware, familiarize yourself with the import regulations, documentation requirements, and import duties applicable in your country. Provide all the necessary documents, such as commercial invoices, packing lists, and certificates of origin, to facilitate customs clearance. Work closely with your customs broker or agent to ensure a smooth clearance process.
