Comprehensive terms ensure that any disputes can be resolved by referring back to the contract.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When is the balance due?&#8221; Payment should be settled according to the milestones agreed upon in the contract\u2014commonly before shipment or based on specific project stages. Clearly stipulating the balance payment milestones and methods, as well as the sequence of shipment and payment, prevents future disputes.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;How much is the typical deposit?&#8221; The standard ratio is around 30%, though the exact amount depends on the order size and risk profile. The deposit covers material procurement and production scheduling costs; it is a prerequisite for starting the order, and a reasonable ratio ensures fairness for both parties.<\/p>\n<p>A solid partnership relies on clear agreements regarding payment and contracts. Feel free to contact us for contract templates and formal quotations; we will align on every term before arranging production.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Can you issue invoices and provide documentation?&#8221; Yes. Please provide invoicing details in advance; we will issue necessary documents for export orders\u2014such as packing lists, commercial invoices, and bills of lading\u2014upon request. Complete documentation ensures smooth customs clearance and payment collection.<\/p>\n<p>Once the price is agreed upon, finalizing payment and the contract is the last step in executing the order\u2014and often where disputes arise. This article addresses the deposit amount, balance payment timing, and contract content to establish a solid foundation for cooperation.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;How are issues handled?&#8221; We handle matters according to the contract terms, using the agreed acceptance criteria as the benchmark. Retaining all relevant documents and communication records ensures there is evidence to consult if problems arise, making the resolution process clear and manageable for both parties.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Can sample fees and deposits be offset against the final cost?&#8221; Sample fees can usually be deducted from the bulk order total, while the deposit is part of the payment itself and is directly applied against the balance. It is best to confirm these deduction rules when inquiring about the price and to include them in the contract.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What payment methods are accepted?&#8221; T\/T (bank transfer) is the standard method, though other options can be discussed for large amounts or long-term partnerships. Payments should be made to the company&#8217;s official account, and records should be kept to ensure protection for both parties.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;What should be included in the contract?&#8221; Specifications, materials, quantities, unit prices, delivery dates, acceptance criteria, color variation tolerances, packaging [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[25],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-994","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-faq"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.chengtop1.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/994","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.chengtop1.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.chengtop1.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.chengtop1.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.chengtop1.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=994"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.chengtop1.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/994\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":996,"href":"https:\/\/www.chengtop1.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/994\/revisions\/996"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.chengtop1.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=994"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.chengtop1.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=994"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.chengtop1.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=994"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
