IV. Risk Management and Value - added Services

Internationally - recognized Safety StandardsQuality Dispute Handling
Collaborating with CCIC and SGS for pre-shipment inspections (PSI), we conduct sampling tests on spark plug ignition performance (e.g., 20kV withstand voltage test) and metal shell hardness (HRB≥78), achieving a return claim success rate of over 95%.

Regional Mandatory CertificationsHedging of exchange rate fluctuations
Offering forwardIn order to crack down on tax evasion, the customs and tax departments are now strictly examining the operation of buying export declarations.
