Our Proven Process

LA RIQUEZA GLOBAL HOLDINGS LIMITED coordinates a structured sourcing, quality-control and delivery workflow from initial enquiry through to arrival in Singapore.

Inquiry & RFQ (Request for Quote)

You provide: product specifications (drawings/photos), applicable Singapore or project standards, estimated quantity and forecast, target price (if any), packaging/branding needs, Singapore delivery port or location, preferred Incoterm and timeline.

We deliver: a feasibility check + clarifying questions, initial sourcing plan (factory shortlist), proposed materials & options, and an RFQ intake confirmation within 48 hours.

Decision points: OEM/ODM level, stock vs. made-to-order, and sample requirement.

Solution & Quotation

We deliver: itemized quotation with:

Incoterm options (EXW, FOB China port, CIF Singapore, DAP, and DDP where available)
Unit price tiers by MOQ and volume breaks
Tooling/Mold cost (if any) with amortization options
Sample cost & credit policy (sample cost credited against PO above a threshold)
Estimated lead times (sampling, production, shipping)
Warranty & after-sales terms summary

You decide: the configuration, Incoterm, and payment method.

Samples & Validation (if needed)

We deliver: production-grade samples or 3D prototypes; sample photos/videos; and a sample datasheet documenting materials, dimensions, finish, labelling, and tests performed.

Quality options:

Golden sample sign-off
Third-party testing through SGS, TÜV, BV, Intertek or another agreed laboratory where Singapore, controlled-goods or project requirements apply
Aesthetic/functional tests guided by your specs

Timeline: 5–14 days typically (expedited courier available).

Terms & Contract

Documents: Proforma Invoice (PI) and Sales Contract covering:

Scope and technical specification
Pricing, currency, and validity
Payment terms (e.g., T/T 30% deposit, 70% balance before shipment; L/C at sight; or OA for approved accounts)
Incoterm & port (e.g., FOB Shenzhen/Ningbo/Shanghai; CIF/CFR; DDP on request)
Lead time, delivery window, penalties, and warranty
IP & confidentiality (NDA) if needed

You provide: signed/stamped PI/Contract and (if applicable) tooling approval.

Purchase Order & Deposit

You provide: official PO and initial payment per agreed terms.

We deliver: order confirmation, locked production slot, and a critical path schedule with key milestones (materials ETA, pilot run, mass production start, QC gates, shipment window).

Production & In-Process Quality Control

Our approach:

IQC (Incoming Quality Control) on raw materials & components
First Article Inspection (FAI) and pilot run sign-off
IPQC (In-Process QC) per AQL sampling (e.g., ANSI/ASQ Z1.4)
OQC (Outgoing QC) before packing
Process capability checks (where applicable)

Updates you receive: weekly progress report with photos/videos; yield & defect summaries; any ECO (engineering change order) requests for your approval if needed.

Packaging: retail, neutral or custom; barcodes where required; Singapore labelling instructions; shipment-ready palletisation; and ISPM 15-compliant wood packaging when applicable.

Pre-Shipment Inspection & Compliance

Options:

Pre-Shipment Inspection (PSI): AQL-based by us or 3rd party (SGS/BV/TÜV)
Container loading supervision (CLS)
Lab tests and certifications: material certificates and evidence of compliance with applicable Singapore controlled-goods, safety, IMDA or project requirements where relevant

We deliver: final QC report (photos, measurements, AQL results) and compliance certificates (if performed).

Logistics Booking & Export Clearance

We handle: space booking, VGM, HS code confirmation, export declaration in China, and cargo insurance when applicable.

Standard documentation:

Commercial Invoice (CI) & Packing List (PL)
Bill of Lading (B/L) or AWB
Certificate of Origin: RCEP or ASEAN–China FTA documentation where eligible and requested
Fumigation/Phytosanitary certificate (if required)
Insurance Certificate (if CIF/CIP)

Incoterm guidance:

FOB: we deliver to the named China port; you nominate the forwarder
CIF/CFR: we manage main carriage and (for CIF/CIP) insurance
DDP (on request): we coordinate Singapore import clearance and last-mile delivery through approved partners where available for the product category

International Shipping

Modes & transit times (typical):

Express/Courier: 3–7 days (samples/urgent small lots)
Air freight: 5–12 days door-to-airport/door
Sea freight (FCL/LCL): timing is confirmed by route and sailing schedule for the nominated China-to-Singapore lane
Singapore delivery: port, warehouse or final-mile coordination is arranged where included in the quotation

Tracking: sailing/flight details and live updates. For FOB, we coordinate with your forwarder for smooth handover.

Delivery, Balance, & After-Sales Support

For T/T terms: we issue shipping docs (scan first, originals by courier if needed) for your bank to release balance
For L/C: we present documents to the bank as per LC terms
We support customs clearance coordination via the forwarder/broker

After-sales: warranty process, spare parts, and feedback review meeting to plan next orders

Alternate supplier qualification for critical components
Buffer stock or staggered shipments on long programs
