Importing Commercial Projectors from China: MOQ, Certification & Logistics Checklist
A plain-English checklist for distributors buying their first container — certifications, HS-code considerations, QC and the questions a serious factory should answer.
Sourcing projectors from China can deliver serious margin, but the difference between a smooth first order and a customs problem is preparation. This checklist covers what to verify before you place a deposit.
Certification for your destination market
Confirm CE for the EU, FCC for the US, and the market-specific marks you require, and request dated certificates and test reports in the legal manufacturer's name — not a generic catalogue scan.
MOQ, private label and lead time
Stock models may ship in low MOQ; private-label logos, packaging and firmware typically start higher and take longer. Lock the BOM and firmware version before mass production.
Quality control and inspection
Agree AQL levels, an inspection before shipment, burn-in duration and dead-on-arrival handling in writing.
Logistics and after-sales
Projectors are high-value, moderately fragile goods: agree packaging standards, spare-unit percentage, warranty terms and local repair arrangements before the first container.
