Recorded credentials

34 recorded as customs-registered
Registration with China Customs lets a factory export in its own name rather than through an agent. We hold this flag for part of the catalog only, so treat it as a positive signal where present rather than as a complete list.
396 recorded as High-Tech Enterprise
A Chinese government status carrying tax benefits, granted on R&D spending and patents held. It indicates in-house development rather than assembly.

Buying major home appliances from China

Written from the sourcing work we do, not from the suppliers listed above.

How do you tell a real manufacturer from a trading company?
An assembly line plus a safety test station running hipot, earth continuity and leakage checks. Ask to see the test log — a real line records every unit, not a sample.
What certification is needed to import major home appliances into the EU or US?
The EU requires CE under the Low Voltage and EMC directives, ErP energy labelling, and F-gas compliance for refrigeration. The US requires UL or ETL listing, DOE energy conservation standards, and FCC for connected models.
What order minimums and tooling costs should I expect?
Typically 500–1,000 units, with injection tooling for enclosures between $10,000 and $60,000.
What goes wrong most often in this category?
Motors, compressors and thermal cut-outs swapped after approval. These are the safety-critical parts and the ones that trigger recalls, so name brand and model in the contract rather than a specification range.
