Consumer Electronics sourcing FAQ
What certifications do I need for importing electronics?
For the EU you need CE marking; for the US, FCC approval for wireless devices and UL listing for electrical safety. RoHS and REACH cover hazardous substance restrictions globally. Most established Chinese manufacturers already hold these.
Can I get OEM or custom branding on electronics?
Yes. Most factories in Shenzhen, Dongguan and Taiwan offer full OEM/ODM services — you can specify hardware, firmware, packaging and branding. MOQs for custom runs start around 500–1,000 units.
How do I protect my IP when sourcing electronics?
Use Non-Disclosure Agreements before sharing designs. Work with verified, business-registry-checked suppliers. Consider splitting production (PCB from one supplier, assembly from another) for sensitive designs, and register trademarks in the manufacturer's country.
What lead times should I expect?
Standard off-shelf products: 15–30 days. Custom OEM/ODM first run with tooling: 60–90 days. Subsequent reorders once tooling is set: 30–45 days. Add 2–4 weeks for ocean freight to Europe or North America.
