Buyer FAQ
Sourcing glass tableware from Firozabad — FAQs
- MOQs for Glass Tableware from Firozabad typically start at 500 units and scale to 2,000 units for better pricing. Smaller pilot runs can often be negotiated with our partner units for first orders.
- Indicative FOB pricing is $0.8–$5 per piece, depending on materials, finish and order size. That lands roughly 16% below comparable China pricing once tariffs and the 1.60% RoDTEP refund are factored in.
- Plan for 35–55 days from approved sample to ready-to-ship, plus 18–35 days ocean transit depending on your destination port. Sampling usually takes 10–18 days.
- Glass Tableware is classified under HS 7013. Exports qualify for RoDTEP (~1.60% refund), EPCG and — where the hub is notified — ODOP benefits, all of which we factor into your landed-cost sheet.
- We run an independent third-party QC inspection on every shipment (not just the first), and we own the QC, freight and payment rails under non-circumvention terms — so you get consistent quality and the factory relationship stays protected.
