Inquiry Review
Buyer sends product type, quantity, target market, finish, packaging, certification and expected delivery date. This stage protects buyer communication, avoids unclear assumptions and keeps the project suitable for international B2B purchasing.
Buyers should keep written records for this step, including approved photos, drawings, finish requirements, packaging notes, carton requirements and inspection expectations. When these details are confirmed before mass production, the factory can plan materials, workshop flow, QC and export packing with fewer last-minute changes.
