RFQ tips
Send these details first
- Target EU or UK market
- Required test standards or restricted-substance expectations
- Importer or responsible-party workflow
- Packaging language and labeling needs
Why this matters
Market-specific sourcing proof makes the first factory reply stronger
EU buyers often need material and compliance language before they can circulate a supplier internally.
GPSR makes product information flow and responsible-party planning more important for consumer goods.
REACH-aware material conversations should happen before the sample is approved, not after production starts.
