Import Bras from China: A First-Order Checklist
By LXSC · Sourcing and product-development guides
A first bra import becomes easier to manage when each step has an owner and a completion record. Confirm the product and import requirements before bulk packing, not after the cartons are ready. This checklist organizes the process; destination-specific customs and legal questions require appropriately qualified advice.
Confirm models, samples and the purchase specification
Shortlist models that match the intended customer, size system and budget. Validate samples and keep the approved revision. Existing LXSC catalog styles have a minimum of 100 pieces per model; color-size splits and availability are confirmed for the quote. New original designs start from 10,000 pieces and follow a separate development process.
Agree responsibilities before production
Record quantity, price, currency, inclusions, payment milestones, inspection terms and the named delivery point. Ask the buyer's customs adviser what product and importer information is needed. Confirm labels and destination requirements before artwork is printed. Door-to-door is a service description, not a complete substitute for an agreed trade rule.
| Handoff | Completion record |
|---|---|
| Buying brief to quote | Approved models, variants and scope |
| Sample to purchase order | Sample revision and specification |
| Contract to production | Payment and release conditions confirmed |
| Production to inspection | Agreed inspection record and deviations |
| Packing to transport | Invoice, packing list and transport instructions checked |
| Arrival to reorder review | Received quantities, issues and actual costs reconciled |
Approve inspection, packing and documents
Check goods against the purchase specification and resolve exceptions before the agreed release point. Reconcile the commercial invoice and packing list with actual model and variant quantities. Review carton weight, dimensions, marks and required warehouse labels. Keep a clear distinction between a draft shipping estimate and a confirmed carrier booking.
Check receipt and retain the order record
On arrival, record carton condition, received quantities and any discrepancy under the agreed claims procedure. Preserve the transport and customs records and compare actual dates and charges with estimates. Keep fit or customer-demand feedback separate from transit damage. Use the combined review to improve the next order instead of treating a low first quote as the only success measure.
