Detailed Architectural/Principle Analysis

Export documentation responsibility depends on the selected trade term. With FOB Shenzhen, DOLUXE completes export customs clearance and delivers the goods to Shenzhen Port. Once the goods are loaded on board, the customer assumes risk and freight costs and can manage the main transportation through its own freight forwarder.

DDP provides a broader logistics service. DOLUXE handles export customs clearance in China, international transportation, destination customs clearance, duties, and final-mile delivery. This arrangement is available for major markets including the United States, European Union, United Kingdom, and Australia.

For urgent samples and small-batch shipments, DHL, FedEx, and UPS are the stated courier options. Typical delivery times are 3–5 business days in North America, 4–6 business days in Europe, and 5–7 business days in Australia, with tracking available throughout the shipment.

For larger apparel orders, sea freight is available as FCL or LCL. FCL is intended for large-volume shipments, while LCL is suitable for small to medium-sized orders and is charged by volume. FOB or DDP terms are available for sea freight.

DOLUXE uses a documented quality process consisting of pre-production sample approval, mid-production inspection, and final AQL 2.5 inspection based on ISO 2859-1. Client-appointed third-party quality inspection is supported upon request.

A documented cooperation case involves a United Kingdom Shopify online retailer and DTC brand using private-label development, end-to-end production, small-batch reorders, and replenishment of best-selling styles. The stated program covers 1,000 pieces per SKU and 24 drops per year.
