Buyer Resources
RFQ and scorecard templates, a QC checklist, a landed-cost calculator, and a short import playbook for first-time China buyers.
These tools are meant to be used together. Start with the RFQ before asking for prices, then keep the scorecard with the supplier record. The inspection checklist and landed cost calculator belong later, after the product and carton assumptions are stable.
Choose the next document
- Wholesale RFQ template: Fields that make factory quotes comparable.
- Supplier scorecard: A scoring sheet before you send a deposit.
- QC checklist: What inspectors should photograph and measure.

A practical order of use
- Write the product and packaging request with the RFQ template.
- Compare the companies behind the quotes with the supplier scorecard.
- Approve a physical sample and turn its details into an inspection instruction.
- Use the QC checklist before releasing the lot.
- Enter the final goods, freight, duty, and destination charges into the landed cost calculator.
The import playbook connects those steps for a first order. If a term on a quotation is unclear, check the sourcing glossary before accepting it.
