Separate goods from service work
Identify goods, domestic China delivery and applicable purchasing work. If you bought directly, mark the supplier amount as already paid instead of collecting it again. Keep currencies explicit.
Read the handling scope
Ask what receiving, checking, storage and packaging are included. Identify special materials or extra operations separately. Confirm the charging basis and when an additional action needs your approval.
Check how freight was calculated
Packed dimensions, actual weight, cargo characteristics and destination affect the route and charge. A preliminary estimate using supplier dimensions may change after final packing. Compare the same endpoint and service responsibilities.
Keep estimates visibly different
Mark included, separately charged, not applicable and still to be confirmed items. State who pays destination taxes or clearance costs. An unknown amount is not zero, and changing goods or destination may require a revised quotation.
