What we can help you buy on 1688

Kitchenware

Kitchenware combines material specifications with destination-market requirements. The necessary documents depend on the product, material and intended use.

Check the paperwork and physical product before committing to an order; neither substitutes for the other.

What we check before you pay

Food contact report for your market

The US and EU have different requirements and a report for one does not cover the other. We ask which exists, whether it names this product, and how recent it is.

Food ingredients and packaging — US FDA

Steel grade, and which part of the product

304 and 201 look identical and cost very differently. We ask for the grade of the part that touches food and verify it on larger orders.

Handle attachment and heat

Specify whether the handle is riveted, welded or screwed, and verify its temperature rating for the intended use.

Base flatness and induction compatibility

Check flatness against a stated tolerance and confirm induction compatibility for models advertised for induction.

Silicone and plastic grades

Utensils and storage in silicone or plastic have their own food contact requirements and their own temperature limits. Both belong in the specification.

How an order runs

  1. Send the product and the market A link or sample, quantities, and where it will be sold. The market decides which report you need.
  2. Documentation before pricing Food contact reports, steel grade and coating composition requested first. We tell you plainly what exists and what does not.
  3. Specification agreed in writing Grades, coating layers, handle attachment and dimensions written into the order.
  4. Quote and approval Goods, any testing, our service fee, inspection, consolidation and freight, itemised.
  5. Inspection with measurements Sampled units measured for gauge and base flatness, handles stress checked, coating inspected, photographed.
  6. Consolidate and ship Compare consolidation fees and packed weights against separate shipment quotes.
