Order Quantities and Lead Time
Tongjiang's standard minimum order quantity is 1,000 meters; smaller quantities can be discussed directly with the sales team. Lead time depends on the factory's production schedule at the time an order is confirmed rather than a fixed number of days, since standard catalog constructions and custom or OEM specifications are scheduled differently. Buyers with a firm delivery deadline should confirm timing before placing an order.
Payment Terms
Tongjiang's standard payment structure is 30% deposit by telegraphic transfer (T/T) with the balance due before shipment. Some destination countries require a 70% deposit with the balance paid before shipment instead. Prices are quoted in USD or EUR for international buyers.
Shipping Terms and Trade Conditions
CIF, Cost, Insurance, and Freight to the destination port, is Tongjiang's standard trade term, meaning the company arranges and covers freight and insurance up to the buyer's port. Other Incoterms are available by agreement for buyers who need a different arrangement. Standard reel lengths run to each machine's maximum capacity, commonly 2,000 or 3,000 meters per reel, and custom cut lengths are produced to the buyer's contracted specification.
Large-diameter mining and oil-drilling constructions, which run up to 127mm and weigh more than 60kg per meter, ship on heavier-duty reels than standard catalog product, with freight quoted to reflect the added weight. Buyers ordering these constructions should confirm reel specification and shipping weight with the sales team alongside the standard quote.
Documentation for Customs and Compliance
A commercial invoice, packing list, and bill of lading accompany every shipment as standard. Buyers who need a certificate of origin or other customs-specific documents should request them when confirming the order, rather than after production is complete. Product-specific certification, such as mill certificates or the CCS works approval, is covered on the Certifications and Factory & Quality pages.
Trade Shows and Industry Presence
Tongjiang attends Bauma China in Shanghai and the CICEE international construction machinery exhibition in Changsha. Buyers who prefer to meet the sales team in person before placing an order can plan around these events.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is TJ Steel Rope's minimum order quantity?
1,000 meters is standard. Smaller quantities can be discussed directly with the sales team, and requirements vary depending on the construction and diameter ordered.
How long does a TJ Steel Rope order take to ship?
Lead time is set at the time an order is confirmed, based on the factory's current production schedule, rather than a fixed number of days published in advance. Standard catalog constructions typically move faster than custom or OEM specifications, since Tongjiang keeps finished-goods inventory on hand for common items.
What payment methods and terms does TJ Steel Rope accept?
Telegraphic transfer (T/T) is the standard method, with 30% deposit and the balance due before shipment. Some destination countries require a 70% deposit with the balance paid before shipment. Prices are quoted in USD or EUR.
What Incoterms does TJ Steel Rope use, and who arranges freight?
CIF is the standard term, so Tongjiang arranges and covers freight and insurance to the buyer's destination port. Other Incoterms, including terms where the buyer arranges freight, are available by agreement for buyers with an existing forwarder relationship.
What reel and length options are available for export orders?
Standard reel lengths run to each machine's maximum capacity, commonly 2,000 or 3,000 meters per reel. Buyers who need a different length can order custom cut lengths to their contracted specification rather than a standard reel size.
What export documentation comes with a TJ Steel Rope shipment?
A commercial invoice, packing list, and bill of lading accompany every shipment as standard. Buyers who need a certificate of origin or other customs-specific documents should request them when confirming the order. Product-specific certification, such as mill certificates or the CCS works approval, is covered on the Certifications page.
Does TJ Steel Rope handle shipping for large-diameter or heavy rope?
Yes. Mining and oil-drilling constructions can run up to 127mm in diameter and weigh more than 60kg per meter, which requires heavier-duty reels and freight quoted differently than standard catalog product. Buyers ordering these constructions should confirm reel specification and shipping weight with the sales team as part of the quote.
