Frequently asked questions
Who do I sign the contract with and who do I pay? +
The manufacturer. The partner factory issues the quotation, proforma invoice and sales contract in its own name, and you pay the factory directly to its company bank account. Actufora never receives payment for goods.
How does Actufora earn money? +
Our partner manufacturers pay us a service fee for business development and order coordination. There is no charge to buyers.
Why don't you show the factory names on the website? +
We present our partner network under the Actufora name. The manufacturer's full company details are disclosed to you before you place an order and always appear on the proforma invoice and sales contract.
Can I get samples before placing a volume order? +
Yes. Samples are normally available for standard series, and first articles can be arranged for custom cylinders. Sample cost and freight are quoted by the factory.
What is the minimum order quantity? +
It depends on the product. Standard pneumatic cylinders are often available from small quantities; custom cylinders usually have a minimum batch. We will confirm the MOQ with the quotation.
Who handles quality problems and warranty? +
Product warranty is provided by the manufacturer under the sales contract. We help you document the issue, communicate with the factory and follow up until it is resolved.
I am in the United States. What about import duties? +
Cylinders of Chinese origin may be subject to additional US import duties (for example Section 301 tariffs). Quotations are usually FOB or CIF; please check the applicable duty rate with your customs broker. We can help you estimate the landed cost.
I am in Southeast Asia. Can I get reduced import duties? +
Many ASEAN countries offer reduced duty rates for Chinese-origin goods under the ASEAN–China Free Trade Area (ACFTA) with a Form E certificate of origin. Ask us and we will request it from the manufacturer for your shipment.
Have a part number or drawing?
Send it to us. We will match an equivalent cylinder and come back with a factory quotation.
