Always confirm warranty terms in writing before ordering.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Can I visit the factory before ordering?<\/strong><br>Most quality manufacturers welcome visitors. Canton Fair (Guangzhou, April\/October) is the best time to visit multiple factories.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>How do I handle customs and import duties?<\/strong><br>Your manufacturer provides the commercial invoice and packing list.
