FAQ

Q1. What tests do U.S. buyers require for camping furniture (ISTA, SIOC, AQL)?
A1. Most retailer programs expect ISTA 3A/3B (sometimes SIOC for e‑commerce), an AQL plan at PSI, and documentation that cartons/pallets meet routing and label rules. We provide test plans and reports per SKU.

 

Q2. How do I choose between FOB and DDP for camping furniture?
A2. If you have strong 3PL/broker support and want cost transparency, choose FOB. For small/urgent or variable lanes, DDP removes friction. Our calculator shows breakeven by volume and destination.

 

Q3. Which PO clauses prevent quality drift and returns?
A3. Tie payment triggers to outputs: Golden Sample match, torque specs, kitted parts, packaging verification, spare‑parts support. Add ECO control and photo/listing licensing terms.

 

Q4. How do GS1/GTIN barcodes and retailer EDI work for private label?
A4. You procure GTINs from GS1, then align vendor portal, EDI 850/856/810, and ASN label data. We map carton labels and ASN fields to your portal’s rules to avoid chargebacks.

 

Q5. What U.S. labeling (UPC, COO, manuals) applies to camping chairs and cots?
A5. Typical needs: UPC/GTIN, COO marks, safe‑use manuals, and any retailer‑specific tracking labels. We insert labels into the tech pack and verify at PP/MP.

 

Q6. How do I protect IP and exclusivity with a Chinese OEM?
A6. Use NNN + tooling ownership, restrict image/listing use, and add non‑compete windows tied to volumes and territories, plus clear enforcement in the PO.

 

Q7. Which HS codes and Section 301 tariffs apply to camping furniture?
A7. Most SKUs land in Chapters 94 or 63 depending on construction/materials; Section 301 may apply. We confirm per SKU and model landed cost scenarios.
