What should I compare besides the factory price?
Compare the specified plywood, included processing, pack protection, quantities and price unit. Then check the delivery term and named location, freight, insurance where applicable, destination charges and import responsibilities. We state the agreed supply and commercial terms in the quotation so you can compare offers on the same basis.
Does production lead time include shipping and customs clearance?
Treat production, inspection, booking, transport and destination clearance as separate stages. Share both your target dispatch date and required receiving date. We confirm the manufacturing schedule for the order and discuss shipping arrangements; carrier schedules and clearance timing should be checked with the parties handling them.
Can your factory help with my first plywood import?
Yes. Send the product, quantity, destination and any instructions from your importer or customs broker. We discuss suitable packing, the proposed delivery arrangement and the documents we will supply. Your importer or broker confirms the destination requirements and charges, which vary by country, product and shipment.
What should I send for a plywood export quotation?
Send the plywood specification, sheet size, thickness, quantity, destination and target delivery date. Add drawings, approved samples, packing instructions and document requirements when available.
Which shipping documents will I receive?
A commercial invoice and packing list describe the finished goods and packages. The transport document and any origin, testing, inspection, insurance or bank documents are agreed for the destination and transaction.
How do I specify an Incoterms® 2020 rule?
State the three-letter rule, the precise named place or port and Incoterms® 2020 in the quotation and order. Confirm who arranges freight, insurance and customs work for that location.
Can I request FOB or another delivery term?
Yes. Tell us the rule and named place you prefer. We will discuss transport mode, collection point and responsibilities before the quotation is confirmed.
Who confirms the import HS code and duties?
Your importer and customs broker confirm the national classification and duty treatment. CUZI PLY can provide the panel construction, product description and origin information for their review.
What is the difference between a proforma and commercial invoice?
A proforma invoice sets out proposed goods, value and payment terms before shipment. The commercial invoice records the final transaction details issued for the shipment.
How are weight and package count checked?
The packing list uses the actual number of packs and sheets, with package dimensions and net and gross weights. Those figures are matched to the carrier instructions and container weight submission when applicable.
When might I need a certificate of origin?
An importer, bank or destination authority may request an origin document. Share the required form and issuer instructions early so it can be planned with the shipment.
What is a container VGM?
The verified gross mass is the weight submitted for a packed container under the applicable maritime procedure. The shipper is responsible for providing it; the weighing method and submission deadline are coordinated with the carrier and terminal.
How is solid-wood packing handled?
Plywood panels and any solid-wood pallets, bearers or dunnage are identified separately. Share the destination's wood-packaging instructions so any applicable ISPM 15 requirements for solid-wood components can be confirmed.
Can the order use a letter of credit?
Yes, if agreed before production and shipment. Share the draft credit and required document wording early enough to align the invoice, transport and presentation dates.
What if my specification or destination changes?
Contact us as soon as the change is known. We will check the effect on production, price, packing, shipping documents and timing, then confirm the revised order details with you.
