CAN answer

Can I change the attachment before shipping?

Yes, with conditions that are written into the order. Inspection, shipping method and deposit terms are agreed before any payment, and each condition is confirmed in writing rather than by phone.

Conditions in writing

  • Inspection happens before the balance is paid. Video, cold start, dashboard reading, undercarriage and any requested close-ups.
  • One machine can ship without a full container booking: 20-tonne units go on a flat rack or by RoRo, and smaller units can share a container where dimensions allow.
  • Deposit terms: the usual deposit is 30-50%, with the balance due before loading. The exact percentage is written in the order, not agreed verbally.
  • Documents: invoice, packing list, bill of lading and certificate of origin. Market-specific certificates are added when required.

If a condition cannot be met for your destination, we say so before you pay rather than after loading.

Next step

Send the model, the destination port and the inspection scope on WhatsApp (+86 182 7531 9406). We reply with the unit file, the FOB figure and the CIF basis the same working day, or within 24 hours if a sailing check is needed.

When this answer does not apply

Conditions are written into the order. If a condition cannot be met for your destination, we say so before any deposit is paid, not after loading.

How the price is built

The machine price is quoted FOB the Chinese loading port and confirmed in writing. Ocean freight and marine insurance are quoted separately for your port, and duty, VAT and port charges are confirmed by your clearing agent. That is why no single landed figure is published here.

Where to go next

What to send for a firm answer

  • The model, or the tonnage class if you have not chosen a model.
  • The destination port, so the CIF figure is for the port you will actually clear at.
  • Whether an inspection or a third-party report is required before the balance.
  • Any certificate the destination asks for, such as SONCAP, PVoC or SABER.

Common questions

Can inspection happen after I pay a deposit?

Inspection is arranged before the balance is paid. A deposit can hold a unit, and the inspection window is written into the order.

Can I use my own inspector?

Yes. You can send a third-party inspector or appoint one locally in China; we provide yard access and the machine file.

What if the machine does not match the file?

The inspection happens before the balance. If the unit does not match the file, the order is stopped and the deposit terms in the contract apply.
