III. Key points
Quality control:
Suppliers are required to provide quality inspection reports (such as ROHS certification).
A third-party inspection company (such as SGS) can be entrusted to conduct random inspections.
Tariff costs:
Philippine tariff reference: about 5-10% for mobile phone cases, and screens may be higher (HS code needs to be confirmed).
Payment security:
Use Alipay to guarantee transactions or letters of credit (L/C) to avoid full prepayment.
Packaging optimization:
Mobile phone cases/holders can be compressed to reduce the shipping weight.
