Start the quote with destination reality
Spain and Europe need careful positioning. China sourcing can work for villas, hospitality, and show units when tax, access, and installer handoff are checked early. Product price alone is not enough. The right first estimate separates product cost, packaging, inland trucking, freight, customs assumptions, insurance, and local delivery.
Key checks for Spain / Europe
- Villa, renovation, hospitality, and show-unit packages
- Import tax, certification, delivery access, and local installer handoff checked early
- Estimated budgets recalculated by drawings, quantities, destination, and service scope
- Confirm whether the supplier quote is EXW, FOB, CIF, DDP, or only a product price.
- Ask for carton or crate dimensions, gross weight, CBM, and fragile-item notes.
- Keep photo records before final payment and before container loading.
Best first message to send
Send destination city, delivery type, item list, target timeline, preferred trade term, and whether you already have a forwarder. This prevents suppliers from quoting different scopes.
