Frequently asked questions for fishing-line sourcing
The practical answer to most sourcing questions begins with the project context. MFE avoids filling missing technical fields with generic claims.
WORKING FRAMEWORK
Clear inputs, clear
next actions — we reply within one business day.
These pages describe MFE’s working approach. They are not a substitute for project-specific approval, material certificates, production verification or a final quotation.
Can a photo prove a specification?
No. Images help discuss colour, surface or presentation but do not prove grade, finished-line performance or production compatibility.
Can finished-line parameters be published?
Yes, when the values are supplied and clearly labelled as reference data; project-specific confirmation remains necessary.
What should an RFQ include?
Application, known size or linear-density reference, colour, package, sample quantity, test needs and the decision timeline.
What is the minimum order quantity?
Pilot quantities are welcome. The minimum order depends on denier, colour and package format, and is confirmed in the RFQ — a pilot-quantity order for sample trials is the normal starting point before production volumes.
How do samples work?
Sample quantities for lab evaluation and trial winding are arranged per project. Sample costs and freight are confirmed at RFQ, and the sample results feed the approval record before any production order.
What are the lead times?
Lead times are confirmed per project after the specification and package format are agreed. Winding is scheduled around the confirmed brief rather than stock programmes, so the window is stated with the quotation.
Which payment and trade terms apply?
Payment terms and trade terms (for example FOB from a Chinese port or EXW) are agreed at quotation for each project, together with the destination and delivery arrangements.
