OP
We usually request golden samples, COC, and carton drop test photos before first PO.
Our category is seasonal and forecasts swing ±30%, so we need flexible capacity without over-committing.
- Any red flags in the supplier's export license copy?
- Is dual sourcing worth the extra QC cost?
We can share our checklist template if helpful.

We added a second inspector and the defect rate dropped noticeably.
Our QC checklist is based on AQL 2.5 with a tightened level for critical dimensions.

Pilot orders really help before committing to a full container.
We also request carton drop tests and keep photos in our QMS folder.
Tagging you here for visibility.

Not sure about your HS code, but our broker used a different chapter heading.
If customs holds the entry, respond within 24h with the revised invoice.

Thanks for sharing — we faced something similar last quarter.
Consider booking ocean space two weeks earlier during peak season.
