03FAQ03
01From what quantity does sourcing through CTG make sense?
We support first trial orders as well as recurring container volumes. The right minimum quantity depends on the product and manufacturer — we advise you in the initial consultation.
02Do you inspect goods before shipping?
Yes. Before shipment the goods are inspected against agreed criteria; we document the result with photos and an inspection report.
03Do you also handle customs and import?
Yes. We organise freight, customs clearance and delivery, so goods arrive cleared in our Hanover warehouse and can be sold straight away.
