No DramaCommercial terms
The fee is a percentage of factory goods value, agreed in writing before any work starts. Nothing on this page is a quotation.
The band
One number for the engagement, stated up front.
Inside the band
Four things decide it, and all four are agreed in writing before work starts.
One machine from a shortlisted factory sits at the bottom of the band. A full line, several suppliers and a staged delivery sits at the top.
A machine in a category we have sourced before carries less work than a first-of-its-kind build against your own material.
The more of the decision, the inspection and the coordination that sits with us rather than with you, the higher the percentage.
The fee is a percentage of factory goods value, so a larger order costs less in proportion than a small one.
Work it out
The fee is a percentage of the factory price only. Everything else on this page is somebody else’s invoice, shown so you can see the whole cost.
Sorted by who receives the money. Every field is editable.
You pay the factory directly. We never hold your money.
Five invoices. None of them ours.
The only line that comes to us.
A percentage of the factory price. Nothing else. Freight, duty, tax, inspection and site work do not change it. No commission, no margin.
On-site inspection
Priced separately and at cost. We add nothing to it.
Illustrative
IllustrativeNot a phone call and not a form. An inspector travels to the building and spends the day there.
A video call from inside the factory while the inspection is happening. You can ask for a closer look at anything.
We write the acceptance criteria before production starts. The inspection tests those, not a checklist written afterwards.
Photographs, video, measurements and the test run, with what passed, what failed and what could not be checked.
Market rate for machinery is 300 to 600 USD per inspector-day, which is 260 to 510 euro at the rate checked on 22 Aug 2026. A factory far from a hub adds 50 to 200 USD. Weekend and holiday work adds 50 to 100 per cent. These are published market rates, not quotations we have received.
Landed cost
Duty and tax depend on the destination and are confirmed by a customs broker in your country, not by us.
Common questions
The band is fixed. Where you sit inside it depends on scope, risk and responsibility, and it is agreed before work starts.
The minimum engagement is 1,500 euro and it is credited against the percentage fee. It is not an extra charge.
No. We take no commission and we have no partner factories. If we did, this page would be worth nothing.
