AQL 2.5 is a sampling parameter, not permission to ship 2.5% unsafe chairs.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Report scope:<\/strong> identify the lot and sample, show measured dimensions, assembly\/rocking checks, finish\/stitching, approved functional checks, carton marks, hardware, quantities and packing. Photograph every found defect and the evidence needed to reproduce each check.

EASEN states 50\u2013100 pieces per SKU for standard dining chairs, while some supplier listings advertise much smaller quantities. Ask for separate prices at 30, 50 and 100 pieces per model\/colour and state whether a mixed order is acceptable. Custom fabric, frame tooling and finish batches can raise the minimum. A proposed USD 8,000\u201315,000 mixed-order value is a negotiation example, not a factory-wide substitute for MOQ.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Can I still get replacement parts three years after the order?<\/summary>\n<p>Possibly, if the model and component remain available. Record model, drawing revision, component\/mould references where available, fabric and finish codes, dye lot and hardware dimensions. Agree an availability period and discontinuation notice, and buy critical spares with the first order. A discontinued mould or fabric colour can prevent an exact match even during a long frame warranty.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Should I ship LCL or a full 40HQ for a single venue fit-out?<\/summary>\n<p>Compare full delivered quotations once the final carton cube is known. At around 15\u201318 CBM, it is worth pricing FCL alternatives, including 20GP where suitable; that is a comparison trigger, not a universal break-even point or an automatic reason to buy a 40HQ. Include LCL deconsolidation, terminal, storage and final delivery charges. Extra handling may increase exposure to damage, but this guide has no measured LCL-versus-FCL damage rate. The illustrative 35\u201356 CBM package makes a 40HQ comparison sensible.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Who pays if furniture arrives damaged in Australia?<\/summary>\n<p>Manufacturing defects follow the agreed supplier remedy and any applicable legal rights; transit damage follows the transport risk allocation, carrier position and cargo policy. Notify relevant parties promptly without waiting for them to agree on fault. Keep delivery exceptions, cartons, photographs and unboxing records. An insurance allowance of 0.2\u20130.5% of insured value may be a starting budget assumption, but minimum premiums, excesses, packing exclusions and cover terms can change it. The calculator uses an editable fixed allowance.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Do I pay import duty and GST on furniture from China to Australia?<\/summary>\n<p>Check the exact classification, origin and current preferential rate. Qualifying lines may receive 0% ChAFTA duty with valid origin documentation; that is not automatic for every item. Import GST is generally 10% of customs value plus duty and relevant international transport\/insurance. A credit depends on the importer\u2019s registration and creditable purpose, supported by the import records.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Can Foshan factories match my designer\u2019s custom booth seating and table sizes?<\/summary>\n<p>Specialist manufacturers offer custom dimensions and upholstery. Send dimensioned drawings, wall\/site measurements, access limits, fixing details and fabric references; review the quotation and pre-production sample before manufacture. Allow 2\u20133 weeks for sampling as a planning target. Define what a linear metre includes, how curved sections are measured, tolerances, module joints and responsibility for final site measurements. A photo alone is insufficient for a fitted booth.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>How do I verify a Foshan supplier is a real factory rather than a trading office?<\/summary>\n<p>Verify the Chinese legal entity and unified social credit code in the official enterprise register. Compare its registered business and address with a workshop visit or live walkthrough; examine the relevant production equipment, work in progress, capacity and subcontracting. Match the PO, invoice and payment beneficiary, and ask for comparable commercial references with permission to verify them. A workshop photograph or company-name bank account alone does not establish ownership or capacity.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>What is a realistic timeline from first quote to opening night?<\/summary>\n<p>Use 12\u201318 weeks as a coordinated planning range, with 1\u20132 weeks for the brief\/quotes, 2\u20133 for sampling, 4\u20137 for production, inspection\/loading and booking allowances, roughly 2\u20135 for the ocean leg, and 1\u20132 for clearance\/delivery. Some work overlaps; a sequential or delayed project can exceed 20 weeks. Add at least four weeks of opening contingency and book only against confirmed factory and sailing milestones.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<section aria-labelledby=\"restaurant-brief-title\" class=\"au-brief au-section\" id=\"restaurant-brief\">\n<div class=\"aur-brief-intro\">\n<p class=\"au-eyebrow\">Your venue \/ Your specification<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"restaurant-brief-title\">Discuss your Australian restaurant package<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Confirm the furniture list, seat mix and sourcing scope<\/li>\n<li>Identify warranty, specification and inspection gaps<\/li>\n<li>Plan the next quotation and delivery steps<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Share your floor plan or item list, Australian delivery city and opening target.
