Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about working with FDG Distribution

Do you work with non-French companies?

Yes, absolutely. We work with companies from across Europe, the UK, Asia and beyond. Any business that wants to import into the EU, source from Asia, or distribute across Europe can partner with us. We communicate fluently in English, French, Mandarin Chinese and Japanese.

What is the typical lead time from China to Europe?

Sea freight from China to France or Belgium takes 25–35 days. Adding production time (typically 2–6 weeks) and EU customs clearance (1–2 weeks), total lead time is usually 7–12 weeks. Air freight reduces transit to 7–12 days but costs 5–8x more. We advise on the best option for your urgency and budget.

What certifications do products need for the European market?

CE marking is mandatory for ~30 product categories (electronics, machinery, toys, PPE etc.). REACH compliance applies to textiles and chemical articles. RoHS covers electrical equipment. Food products require HACCP and EU sanitary certifications. We work with SGS, Bureau Veritas and Intertek to manage all compliance testing.

What is your minimum order quantity?

MOQ varies by product and factory. For smaller volumes, we offer LCL (Less than Container Load) consolidation — combining your order with others to reduce freight costs and lower order thresholds. We serve clients from small businesses to large corporates.

Which Incoterm do you recommend for importing from China?

For first-time importers, DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) is simplest — the supplier handles everything including customs and duties, and goods arrive at your door ready to use. For experienced importers with their own freight forwarder, FOB gives you cost control and typically saves 3–8% versus CIF. We advise on the best fit for your situation.

How are your fees structured?

Our fees are fully transparent. Sourcing services are typically 5–15% of goods value or a fixed project fee. Drop shipping is charged per order processed. All fees are agreed before contract signature — no hidden costs, no surprises. Contact us for a personalised quote.
