Practical tips for buyers

Logistics

30 min to Guangzhou Nansha port, 1 hour to Huangpu port. Most Foshan factories quote FOB Guangzhou. Inland trucking to Shenzhen/Yantian is also common for exports to the US West Coast.

MOQ reality

Tile MOQ is usually one 20ft container per model. Furniture MOQ is 5–20 pieces per SKU depending on customization. Smaller runs are possible but price per unit rises — we'll flag this on your shortlist.

Factory vs. trader

Foshan has both. The big tile brands are real factories. Around Lecong furniture market, many showrooms are traders. We mark on every shortlist which is which.
