Export delivery starts before packing
Before the mold is packed, the buyer and supplier should confirm sample approval, mold condition, spare parts, operation notes and final shipment details. This reduces confusion after the tool arrives at the buyer's factory.
Mold cleaning and protection
The mold should be cleaned, protected against rust and fixed securely for transport. Moving components, water lines, connectors and exposed surfaces should be checked before packing.
Documents and technical handover
Common handover information can include mold photos, trial sample records, material information, machine requirement notes, basic operation guidance and a spare parts list. Requirements vary by buyer and project.
Wooden case and logistics details
Export molds are usually shipped in reinforced wooden cases. The buyer should confirm destination port, delivery term, consignee information, gross weight, package size and any special customs or import requirements.
After the mold arrives
After delivery, the buyer should inspect packing condition, check mold components, connect water and electrical systems if applicable and arrange a local trial. Clear records help the supplier support any follow-up questions.
