Quick Answer (for busy buyers)

Here’s the buyer-first summary. If your brand name is on the label, you usually act as the responsible person and must ensure the listing is submitted and kept current.

  • U.S. buyers should inspect for cap fit issues, which often stem from torque variance during assembly.
  • We recommend testing 5% of production samples for proper seal.
  • Surface scratches typically occur during handling; our QA checks include visual inspection under 500 lux lighting.
  • Label rub-off is common with matte finishes in humid conditions – we apply protective varnish for U.S. shipments.
  • Leakage risks increase with air freight pressure changes; we conduct pressure testing at 0.8 bar for 24 hours.
  • MOQ starts at 3,000 units per SKU, with sampling taking 10-14 days post-approval.
  • We provide ASTM D4169 transit testing reports and can support FDA documentation requests.
