YOUR BUYING BUSINESS

Support for the way you sell

Your rangeGaps & additions
Your channelTrade / retail
Your briefSpecs & quantities

Fill the gaps in a range that already sells.

For tool businesses with a warehouse, trade counter, website or dealer network. We review your catalog, suggest 3–5 complementary items, compare grades and coordinate a mixed-category order.

YOUR QUESTION

“Can we add matching ratchets, extensions and tool sets to the sockets we already sell?”

What to bring to the first conversation

Bring your current catalog, the items you want to add, your preferred quality tier and destination. Products can carry your house brand, a private label or neutral packaging.

  1. The 3–10 items or categories you want to compare, with approximate quantities.
  2. A catalog link or photos showing your current quality tier, grades and finishes.
  3. Your packaging preference: neutral stock, house brand or full private label.
  4. Estimated trial volume and destination port, plus your replenishment timing.

DESTINATION REQUIREMENTS

Tool sizes, labels, packing and route requirements depend on where the order is going. Destination questions are part of the brief, not a claim of universal market approval.

CLEAR RESPONSIBILITIES

Match each requirement to the right evidence

The order baseline separates supplier declarations, agreed physical checks and any additional independent testing.

01

Manufacturer declaration

Material and batch records supplied by the manufacturer. A declaration is not an independent test result.

02

HEHE physical & packaging check

Agreed dimensions, fit, appearance, marking and carton details, recorded within the order’s stated scope.

03

Optional third-party lab

Performance or metallurgical testing only where arranged and accepted with the buyer. Actual results require a separate report.

DEMONSTRATION TEMPLATE

Illustrative demonstration only — not a live order or a completed inspection report. Specifications and selections below do not establish a verified result or approval.

01 / MANUFACTURER

Material & batch information

  • Steel batch sheet or material declaration: 50BV30 / 45#.
  • Factory heat-treatment and hardness batch record; illustrative requirement HRC 42–48.

Example documents · not reviewed

02 / HEHE

Agreed hands-on checks

  • Caliper dimensions and drive-square fit, with photos.
  • Finish, laser logo, sleeve and barcode scan.
  • Carton gross weight, strapping and shipping marks.

Example scope · not performed

03 / INDEPENDENT PROVIDER

Optional additional testing

  • Destructive torque/load tests or formal metallurgical analysis.
  • An agency such as SGS, Intertek or TÜV, arranged before dispatch only by buyer agreement.

Optional scope · not arranged

A live order uses its own agreed specification, check scope and documented buyer decisions.

Use the same structure for your own item list.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Before you start an order

Before quotingSpecs & MOQ
Before productionSample & artwork
Before dispatchChecks & documents
Can we combine multiple tool categories in a small initial trial order?

Yes. Mixed-category orders are a core part of our sourcing service. Individual items still need to meet practical manufacturing and packaging minimums, especially for custom color boxes. We help structure trial orders—often $2,000–$8,000 USD—across complementary categories and consolidate them into one shipment. Smaller paid sample or test orders are also supported.

These values are illustrative planning references. Actual item MOQs, specifications, packaging and freight are agreed for your list.

Do products have to carry the HEHE logo, or can we use our own brand?

HEHE is our sourcing and service brand; it does not have to appear on your tools. Choose neutral workshop packaging or a private-label order with your laser-etched logo, custom handle colors, color sleeves, blow-molded cases and retail barcodes.

Artwork, marking position, color, packaging stock and relevant MOQs are confirmed against a sample before the production run.

How do you handle samples when our list covers three or four different factories?

We collect the samples at our office, check them against the requested grades and finishes, and arrange one consolidated courier parcel. This lets you review the connected range together instead of coordinating separate international parcels from each factory.

Sample costs, collection charges and courier arrangements are agreed before dispatch. Any material or performance requirement needing independent testing is agreed separately.

What does your Order & Specification Confirmation Record actually guarantee?

The record makes the agreed product baseline and check scope explicit. Before deposit, it records dimensions, material grade, finish, packaging and the checks to be carried out. Before shipment, we document the agreed physical, visual and dimensional checks with photos, review the available manufacturer material records and resolve discrepancies with you.

HEHE is a sourcing and export partner working with specialized manufacturers. The record defines the agreed scope and evidence; any completed test requires its own actual result and supporting report. If destructive torque or metallurgical testing is required, independent testing through a provider such as SGS or TÜV can be arranged by agreement. Applicable criteria, evidence and acceptance decisions belong to the individual order.

What information should we send to get an accurate quote rather than a rough price range?

Send your item list, product photos or a link to your current website or catalog, together with approximate quantities and the quality tier you want: standard trade or heavy-duty industrial. Add known dimensions, drive size, steel grade, ratchet tooth count, finish and case or packaging requirements.

A “1/2-inch socket set” can mean several different specifications and prices. A reference sample, intended use and destination help us compare like for like and identify what still needs confirmation.

Which export and shipping terms do you support?

EXW, FOB—including Qingdao, Ningbo and Shanghai—and CIF can be discussed for the agreed route. DDP options depend on the destination and service availability. We can work with your existing freight forwarder or help coordinate a shipping option.

Multi-supplier goods can be consolidated onto unified pallets. For the agreed consolidated shipment, we coordinate the commercial invoice, packing list and customs-document package. The chosen Incoterm, named place, charges and responsibilities are confirmed in the quotation.
