International Shipping & Logistics

Factory-Direct Shipping, Handled Properly

We ship safety footwear from our factory in Gaomi, Shandong to buyers across North America and Europe. Below is how a typical order moves.

Trade Terms

  • EXW (our factory, Gaomi), FOB Qingdao, and CIF to your destination port.
  • Import duties and taxes in the destination country are the buyer’s responsibility unless a DDP arrangement is agreed in writing before the order.

Production Lead Time

  • Bulk production: 30–45 days after deposit receipt and written sample approval.
  • Repeat orders of existing styles are usually at the faster end of that range.

Shipping Methods

  • Sea freight — 20GP / 40GP / 40HQ containers, or LCL for smaller orders.
  • Air freight — for urgent replenishment and larger sample batches.
  • Express (DHL / FedEx / UPS) — samples and documents, worldwide in 3–7 days.

Packaging

  • Standard export packing: 10 pairs per carton, each pair in an individual shoe box.
  • OEM orders: custom boxes, labels, hangtags and inserts with your branding are available.
  • Carton marks and palletizing can follow your warehouse or 3PL requirements — send us your spec with the order.

Documents We Provide

  • Commercial invoice & packing list
  • Bill of lading
  • Certificate of origin
  • Test reports for the shipped styles (on request)
