How 1688 Sample Orders & Non-BIS Clearance Work

Clear answers on sample allowances, battery courier safety, and door delivery without commercial customs hurdles.

🔋

Non-BIS & Battery Testing Samples

Under Indian Customs Foreign Trade Policy, evaluation prototypes, testing samples, and personal non-commercial gadgets are permitted without commercial BIS registration. Built-in lithium batteries and power devices route safely through our specialized Hong Kong DG express lane.

🛡️

Why the 18.5% Fee Package?

Small sample orders require the highest manual labor: Chinese factory communication, paying in RMB via PayPal escrow (4.5%), counting parts upon intake (4%), and reinforcing fragile prototypes in 5-ply export packaging with bubble wrap and corner guards (10%) so they survive international transit.

💱

Fixed $1 = ¥6.63 Clearing Rate Explained

Chinese factories settle transactions in RMB. Overseas PayPal and card payments settle through international clearing banks pegged at $1 = ¥6.63. Your Indian bank applies a standard 3.5% cross-border markup when converting INR to USD, which our calculator factors in automatically.

🚚

25–60 Days Economy vs 5–8 Days Air

If you're testing lightweight electronics or urgent prototypes under 10kg, Express Air (5–8 days) is recommended. If your testing batch is over 50kg or heavy hardware, our Economy Cargo corridor (25–60 days at ₹290/kg) offers maximum cost savings.
