The Heart - warming Tips from Customs Officials are Precious

Be Sharp - eyed When Purchasing:

The "eagle eye" when making a purchase:

• The fire - proof cover test is very important. Once, the surface temperature of a certain brand was measured to be 120℃ with an infrared thermometer
• Follow Safety Rules During Use:

"Safety Rules" in Use:

• It is recommended to install a residual current device in front of the socket. It costs less than 20 yuan but can ensure safety
• It is recommended to install a residual current circuit breaker in front of the socket. The cost is less than 20 yuan, but it can ensure safety.
• The safe distance for children should be at least 1 meter. We have repeatedly tested this distance with a thermal imager.

Special Advice from Industry Veterans

After importing thousands of heaters, we have summarized these hard - won experiences:

• Reserve a buffer period: During the winter peak season, customs clearance on average takes 3 - 5 more days. Before Christmas last year, a batch of goods got stuck in customs and almost missed the sales season.
• Samples first: It is recommended to air - freight 2 - 3 samples for testing first. A certain customer couldnt use the whole batch of goods due to voltage mismatch.
• Insurance is a must: The risks of sea transportation are high. Last year, a container encountered storms and 30% of the goods were damaged by collision.
• Prepare for after - sales service: It is recommended to prepare 5% of standby machines. A certain German brand recalled the whole batch of goods due to a thermostat defect.

Our team includes dedicated electrical engineers to assist with inspections.
