The fridge/chest frezzer cabinets are packed with carton, the compressors are packed in pallets, and the components are in cartons, all loaded and shipped by container.
Most clients choose to order a 40HQ container quantity for testing assembly lines, working efficiency and market, after that, they placed continued orders annually. We aim to support flexible starting volumes for new projects.
In some countries, local customs authorities require that a refrigerator or freezer be disassembled into several separate components prior to importation in order to qualify for preferential tariff rates applicable to imports of knock down parts. Consequently, in certain nations, SKD and CKD methods can result in significant reductions in import duties.In many markets, SKD can help reduce duties compared to fully assembled products.
