This page sets out the minimum order quantities, certification coverage, lens categories and lead times we work to — the same figures we quote to buyers, published so you can plan against them.

Reports are supplied with your quotation. Coverage is model-specific where the certificate names models — check the model you intend to order.
Lens categories
Lens categories and light transmission
Category numbers describe how much visible light reaches the eye. They are a legal marking requirement in the EU and Australia, and the most common specification error in sport eyewear orders.
| Category | Light transmission | Typical use | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | More than 80% | Night, indoor, clear lens | Uncommon in sport eyewear |
| 1 | 43–80% | Overcast, flat light | Often paired with a yellow tint |
| 2 | 18–43% | General sun | Everyday outdoor use |
| 3 | 8–18% | Bright sun | Most common sports category |
| 4 | 3–8% | Glacier, high alpine | Not permitted for road use or driving |
Lead times
Sampling, production and freight
Figures below are working averages, not guarantees. Freight times are port-to-port transit after vessel departure and exclude customs clearance at destination.
| Stage | Typical time |
|---|---|
| Stock sample dispatch | 2 business days |
| Sample with your logo | 20–25 days |
| Bulk production, after artwork and sample approval | 40–45 days |
| Sea freight, Xiamen to US port (transit) | 18–20 days |
| Sea freight, Xiamen to Europe (transit) | 40–45 days |
| Rail freight, China to Europe (transit) | 30–35 days |
Planning a launch? A custom order approved today typically reaches a US port in about 80–90 days — roughly 20–25 days for the sample, 40–45 days for production, then 18–20 days at sea. Build the sample stage into your timeline, not just production.
Terms
Trade and payment terms
| Item | Terms |
|---|---|
| Trade terms | EXW Xiamen as standard — the price covers the goods at our works and nothing after that.
FOB Xiamen quoted on request: domestic transport, export clearance, documentation and loading on board are then built into the price. DDP or DAP quoted separately — freight at cost to your door, or we deliver free of charge to a forwarder of your choice in China. |
| Payment | 30% deposit, 70% against the bill of lading; T/T or PayPal. Samples: paid in full before production starts. |
| Sample cost | Sunglasses: US$30 for two branded pairs, courier included. Ski goggles: US$50 per model, which includes the per-model tooling charge. Sample fees are not deducted from a later bulk order. |
| Quality commitment | Bulk goods are produced to the approved sample. If bulk goods do not match the approved sample, we rework the goods or supply replacements. |
| Duties and import charges | Not included — paid by the importer unless a DDP price is agreed |
