It depends heavily on complexity. A private-label item on an existing tool can sample in a few weeks; a new tooled product with custom molds takes considerably longer. We'll give you a realistic timeline once we see the spec.

MOQs are set by the factory, not by us, and vary widely by product category and tooling requirements. Part of supplier matching is finding a partner whose MOQ fits your volume.

Yes. We regularly step into an existing supplier relationship to re-negotiate cost, fix a quality issue, or find a second-source factory — it doesn't have to start from a blank concept.

We map IP and certification prerequisites into the development plan from day one and coordinate with the relevant registration bodies or your legal counsel. We're not a law firm, so formal filings are handled alongside qualified counsel where needed.

A pre-shipment inspection (PSI) checks the finished goods themselves — usually AQL sampling right before the order ships. A factory audit reviews the supplier's processes, capacity, and labor practices, independent of any single order.

Depends on the product and destination market — commonly IEC 62619, UL listing, CB Scheme, CE/RED, UN38.3 for transport, and MSDS documentation. We confirm the applicable set with you before testing begins.

Yes — samples are routed to accredited labs and we manage the paperwork and follow-up between the factory and the lab so certification doesn't stall in email threads.

Both matter for different reasons. Pre-shipment inspection catches product defects before packing; container loading supervision separately verifies quantity, packing condition, and seal at load-out.

FCL (full container load) books an entire container for your cargo alone. LCL (less-than-container load) shares a container with other shippers' cargo, which usually costs less for smaller volumes but takes a bit longer to consolidate and deconsolidate.

Yes — that's the core of the service. Cargo from several vendors is picked up and pooled at a consolidation hub before a single shipment moves to port, which typically lowers the freight cost per unit.

Yes — FNSKU labeling, poly-bagging, and carton configuration are built to Amazon's current requirements before the shipment moves onward.

All three are available depending on how much of the customs and duty process you want handled on your behalf. DDP hands you a landed, cleared shipment; FOB leaves origin-side handling to us and destination clearance to you.

Open POs and shipment status, landed cost per unit, vendor performance scorecards, and reorder timing — pulled from the same records used to run development, QC, and freight for your account.

Data can be delivered as scheduled reports, through an API, or via EDI depending on what your team already uses — we fit the reporting to your existing stack rather than asking you to change it.

Vendor capability and QC history is tracked in a shared internal database so new programs benefit from prior inspection data, but your commercial terms, costs, and order history stay private to your account.

Unit cost, freight, duty, and QC cost are rolled together into a true per-unit landed cost, rather than looking at factory price alone.

Anthony Huang, founder and manager of BATONG, is the named specialist for every account — across development, QC, freight, and reporting.

Guangzhou, China — inside Guangzhou BATONG Import & Export Co., Limited, close to the manufacturing regions most of our clients source from.

They're sibling departments under the same BATONG entity. BATONG Energy builds and sells solar and battery hardware; Globatong runs the sourcing, QC, and logistics chain — for BATONG's own products and, now, for other companies' too.

Reach out through the Contact a Specialist form, email, or WhatsApp with what you're building or importing — Anthony will map the chain to your program directly.
