FOB pricing works well for buyers who already have a freight forwarder and import process in place, while DDP suits buyers who want one landed cost with duty and delivery included. Our factory is in Yizheng, Jiangsu, so the loading port is confirmed on each quotation. Buyers often ask about Ningbo or Shenzhen, but we do not assume a port in advance.
We will ask about your destination country, target Incoterm, and shipping timeline so the quotation reflects real costs rather than a generic factory price that leaves shipping as a surprise later.
Important Checks Before Requesting a Quote
- Confirm which port the FOB quote is based on, since inland freight from Jiangsu to the port varies.
- Ask whether a DDP quote includes duty, or if duty is billed separately on arrival.
- Check quoted lead time includes production and shipping, not production alone.
- Clarify Incoterm definitions if your team is comparing quotes from multiple suppliers.
How We Support This Sourcing Need
FOB with the port stated
Each FOB quote names the port of loading, chosen with your logistics setup and freight forwarder in mind. If you need a specific port, say so in the RFQ.
DDP discussed by destination
DDP bundles duty, freight, and delivery into one landed cost. Whether it can be offered depends on the destination and import arrangement, and is confirmed per inquiry.
Realistic combined lead time
Ask for production time and estimated shipping time separately, so your import schedule is based on both rather than production alone.

Common Questions
Which is better for my business, FOB or DDP pricing?
It depends on whether you already have a customs broker and freight forwarder. FOB suits buyers with that in place; DDP suits buyers who want one landed cost with less coordination.
Can you quote FOB Shenzhen or FOB Ningbo?
Tell us your preferred port and destination. We will confirm whether that port is practical from our Jiangsu factory and state the port and inland freight basis on the quotation.
