We paid the balance. Then we opened the cartons.

3 quotes, 40% apart. Which one is fair?
03
New tariffs again. What does this order really cost us?
Every step, in detail
17 steps, from the first search to the final payment. Each one is a working part of the platform.
Before you negotiate
01 · Find
License, export rights, real address, sanctions, lawsuits, and export record. We even confirm the site on satellite maps. On request, our own team audits the factory on site.
Our own audit teams in China, Vietnam, Malaysia, and Indonesia
02 · Evaluate
Pick your favorites and compare weighted scores. A few become primary suppliers, the rest stay ready as backups.
8 weighted criteria, rescored on every order. Below 80: warning letter. Below 60: suspended.
03 · Price
Ex-factory guide prices across China and Southeast Asia. Pick a region to see two years of trend, with the event behind each turning point.
146 packaging categories, region by region, from material, process, and unit weight
04 · Landed cost
Ex-factory price, freight, duty, anti-dumping, and fees add up to one number. Compare the same product across markets, with the other points to watch flagged.
15 destination markets, tariffs checked every day, with the documents each one requires
05 · Sample and prototype
We coordinate your samples and prototypes, run the same tests on each, and verify the result, so the project moves fast without gambling on quality.
The same tests on every sample, results side by side
06 · Technical service
For demanding products, our engineers work through the material formula, the machine, and the settings with the factory.
Material formula, machine, and settings, worked out with the factory
07 · Route
Live weather, sailings and freight rates, port congestion, holidays, and major events, weighed into one estimate of when it arrives.
Book with connected carriers and forwarders
08 · Specs
Type in your specs once and get a 3D model, a dieline, and technical drawings, with your quality requirements marked on them. Every file is saved and time-stamped.
Both sides confirm one version. Every change is time-stamped and locked.
09 · Communication
Messages translated as you type. Bring in ClearGrip, the mold maker, or your designers, or meet by video with live interpretation and written minutes.
Chat translated into 8 languages. Minutes approved by everyone who attended.
While it’s made and shipped
10 · Quality control
Incoming, in-process, and outgoing checks, plus storage, in time-stamped photos and video. Add our acceptance quality limit (AQL) inspection: random cartons, ISO sampling, and a summary report.
Incoming (IQC), in-process (IPQC), and outgoing (OQC) checks, captured on the factory floor
11 · Schedule
Photos and video at every milestone, and a warning when the plan slips. Agreed shipping date missed and the supplier at fault? Your contract’s penalties apply.
Penalties count from the shipping date, only when the supplier is at fault.
12 · Loading
Follow loading in photos and video. Every stock-keeping unit (SKU) is scanned in, so you know exactly what is inside before the seal goes on.
Photos, video, and the seal number on record
13 · Tracking
Follow the container so you can line up trucks and warehouse space. Invoice, packing list, bill of lading, insurance, and certificate of origin download together.
Live shipment status, and all 5 customs documents in one download
14 · Papers and payment
Paying by telegraphic transfer (T/T)? We suggest holding part of the balance until every paper is in; then a release instruction goes to your bank. By letter of credit (L/C), follow its terms. We never touch your money.
T/T, L/C, D/P, D/A, or O/A, checked against what really happened. ClearGrip never holds, moves, or touches your money.
If anything goes wrong
15 · After-sales
Raise the problem in the order chat with the evidence attached, then agree a fix under your contract: corrective action, replacement, return, or refund.
Evidence attached, every step time-stamped on the order
16 · Dispute
Can’t settle it? One click exports the purchase order, the contract, the chat history, and the evidence, frozen as they stand, to a partner trade law firm.
Order, contract, chat history, and evidence, frozen as they stand
17 · Finance
Need financing or credit insurance? Licensed partners quote from the order data you choose to share. ClearGrip only provides the data and never handles funds.
Supply chain finance offers from licensed partners across Asia
18 · Compliance
Material, weight, size, recycled content, and GRS certificates for every SKU, collected with every order. Export them for the EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) and extended producer responsibility (EPR) reports.
