From your top five SKUs to a managed supply line in about sixteen weeks.

Re-quote · days 0–10 · free

You send: up to five SKUs — drawings, spec sheets, or a photo and a description — annual quantities, where they're made today, and (optionally) your current FOB or landed cost. We confirm scope within one business day; the ten-day clock starts there.

We do: HTS classification and tariff-stack analysis per SKU; RFQ to pre-qualified factories in China and other countries; freight quotes to your dock; rule-of-origin screen wherever an FTA is in play; Section 232 screen for metal content.

You get: a landed-cost comparison — China, a 12.5% origin, an FTA-qualifying origin — with named factories behind every column, and a recommendation, including "stay where you are" when that's the answer.

You decide: whether to qualify one or more of the factories. No obligation.

Qualify · weeks 2–4

We do: an on-site audit of the recommended factory (40-point checklist, photos); capacity and lead-time confirmation; NNN agreement executed in the factory's jurisdiction; certification map per SKU with the testing lab named; UFLPA supplier mapping started.

You get: the audit report, the signed NNN, the certification map, and a draft supply agreement covering tooling ownership, cosmetic and dimensional specs, and the remediation policy.

You decide: whether to proceed to samples, and whether to keep your incumbent supplier in parallel (we recommend it).

Sample & first article · weeks 4–10

We do: DFM review returned as a marked-up drawing; tooling (if any) cut under a tooling-hold agreement with title to you; T1–T3 samples reviewed; first-article inspection with ballooned drawing and full dimensional report, or golden-sample approval for catalog goods; lab testing per the certification map.

You get: the FAI report, the approved golden sample (one retained by you, one by us, one at the factory), the tooling ownership letter, and test reports.

You decide: whether to place a pilot PO. Founding Partner accounts pay no fee for sample coordination on the first three part numbers.

Pilot order · weeks 10–16

We do: PO placed by you directly with the factory under the supply agreement; production monitored; in-process check at 20–30% of the run; AQL pre-shipment inspection (ANSI/ASQ Z1.4, 2.5/4.0 default) on packed goods; loading supervision with counts and seal photo; customs documents, ISF data and the UFLPA file prepared for your broker.

You get: the in-process and pre-shipment inspection reports before release, loading photos, and a complete document set for entry.

You decide: release or hold. If the inspection fails, the remediation policy runs and the shipment does not leave.

Scale & manage · ongoing

We do: reorder management and release scheduling; inspection on every run; a qualified second source once the first is stable; quarterly origin review as tariff rates and freight move; engineering-change management through written ECOs.

You get: a monthly scorecard — on-time, defect rate, landed cost against baseline — and one named contact in your time zone.

You pay: 10% of FOB per PO. Nothing else.
