1. Specifications and Standards
- Size Specifications: Ensure the products comply with international standards such as ISO, ANSI, DIN, BS, etc. Foreign customers generally have specific requirements based on these standards.
- Material Standards: Customers often have material requirements for bolts and nuts. Common materials include carbon steel, stainless steel, and alloy steel, with different materials being selected for different application scenarios.
- Mechanical Properties: Strength grades (e.g., 4.8, 8.8, 10.9) need to meet the load-bearing requirements of the application environment.
- Depending on the usage environment, foreign customers may request different surface treatments such as galvanization, electroplating, or oxidation to prevent corrosion or improve durability.
- For outdoor or humid environments, customers may specifically emphasize anti-rust properties.
- Foreign customers usually require products to have relevant certifications, such as CE, RoHS, etc. These certifications are particularly important in markets like the European Union.
- Some customers may also request material certificates (such as 3.1 or 3.2 certificates), as well as factory inspection reports.
- The precision of bolts and nuts directly impacts their performance in specific equipment. Foreign customers may have explicit requirements for thread accuracy, tolerance ranges, etc.
- It is necessary to ensure the quality of thread processing (e.g., surface roughness, fit), especially for precision equipment.
- Packaging: Customers may have specific packaging requirements, such as moisture-proof or rust-proof packaging, or the use of environmentally friendly materials to comply with local regulations.
- Shipping: Choose suitable international shipping methods and ensure that the goods are protected during transit to avoid damage or deformation.
- Customers often place high importance on the accuracy of supply. It is essential to ensure the correct order quantity and to meet delivery deadlines that align with the customer’s project schedule.
- Transparent pricing and reasonable quotations are key concerns for foreign customers. They will also consider the overall value, including quality, delivery time, and after-sales service.
- During procurement, customers may request bulk pricing, discounts, or other favorable terms based on order volume.
- Customers generally expect suppliers to provide comprehensive after-sales services, such as tracking quality issues, providing solutions, and offering technical support.
- Especially when problems arise, customers will expect timely feedback and resolution.
- More and more customers are focusing on the environmental friendliness and sustainability of their supply chains. They may inquire about the use of eco-friendly materials in production, or the carbon emissions involved in the manufacturing process.
