Quantities and lead time

Minimum order is 1,000 metres. Smaller runs can be discussed, and the answer depends on the construction and diameter, so it is worth asking rather than assuming.

Lead time is set when the order is confirmed, against the production schedule at that moment, not published as a fixed number of days. Catalog constructions usually move faster because stock exists. If you have a firm site deadline, say so early and it will be built into the answer.

Payment Terms

Standard terms are a 30% deposit by telegraphic transfer with the balance before shipment. Some destination countries require 70% up front instead, balance before shipment.

Prices are quoted in USD or EUR.

Shipping

CIF to your destination port is standard, which means Tongjiang arranges and pays freight and insurance to that point. Other Incoterms can be agreed, including arrangements where you use your own forwarder.

Reels run to each machine's maximum, commonly 2,000 or 3,000 metres. Custom cut lengths are made to your contracted specification.

Mining and oil-drilling constructions are a different proposition. They run up to 127 mm and can weigh more than 60 kg per metre, which means heavier reels and freight priced accordingly. Confirm reel specification and shipping weight with the sales team when you request the quote rather than after.

Documentation

Commercial invoice, packing list and bill of lading come with every shipment.

If you need a certificate of origin or anything else customs-specific, ask when you confirm the order. Requesting it after production is finished slows everything down. Mill certificates and the CCS works approval are covered on the Certifications and Factory & Quality pages.

Meeting in person

Tongjiang exhibits at Bauma China in Shanghai and CICEE in Changsha. If you would rather look someone in the eye before placing a first order, plan around one of those.

Frequently asked questions

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
