Terms & conditions

Due to the dramatic change of currency exchange rate of US Dollar or Euro against Chinese Currency (CNY), it brings difficulty in keeping consist pricing. From April 2008, Bti-sports decides to use Chinese currency (CNY) for the quotation. Customer payment will be done by US dollar or Euro with exchange rate at the day of payment (or Invoice issued). For the convenience of customer to understand the cost in Chinese Currency (CNY), Bti-sports also provides US dollar cost with reference exchange rate. US dollar cost with reference exchange rate will be adjusted by the real exchange rate at the day of payment or Invoice issued. Currency exchange rate web link:

Our price is quoted based on the term of EXW (out of factory).

If customer chooses courier shipping such as DHL, UPS ect., there is no extra cost because they provide door to door service. But if customer’ order covers too many items with limited order quantity; handling cost of CNY140 (USD22 at exchange rate 1: 6.3) to CNY280 (USD44) will be applied. No handling cost for sample order or first trail order.

If customer chooses sea or air shipping requesting delivery to port and going through custom process, as the term of FOB. We will charge some cost bases on different conditions. Please kindly see below.

A. If we help customer to book a forwarder for arranging goods air or sea shipping, following fees will be charged.
1) CNY15 (USD2.4) per carton and extra one flat CNY200 (USD32) per shipping for inland shipping cost from our company to Shanghai port. If loading port is in Qingdao, the shipping cost will be very high. We need to do shipping cost inquiry before invoice finalized.
2) CNY400 (USD64) per shipping (custom fee and document cost charged by forwarder)
3) Sea shipping cost 
PS:
1) If Telex release bill of loading is requested, it will cost CNY100 (USD16)

If it’s EXW term, we will still help our customers arrange goods ship to Shanghai port, and charge basic cost CNY15 per carton and one flat CNY200 per shipping for inland shipping cost from our company to Shanghai port. If shipping to Qingdao, the cost will be very high. We need to do shipping cost inquiry before invoice finalized. Usually our support for domestic shipping is more economic than picking up service cost from customer assigned shipping agent. Other cost customers will directly pay their assigned shipping agent.

B2. If it is changed into FOB term, we have to ask the forwarder what cost will be charged. Then we will charge the cost from customer directly. If the forwarder can not provide us clear cost, we will collect the cost as below:
1) Domestic shipping cost as above A
2) CNY400 (USD64) (custom fee and document cost charged by forwarder)

4) CNY250 (USD40) per shipping (Handling cost charged by forwarder)
If our charge is different from the shipping agent cost, the difference will be balanced with customer’s next order.
PS:
1) If Telex release bill of loading is requested, it will cost CNY100 (USD16)
2) If goods were ship to USA or CA, CNY160 (USD25) to CNY200 (USD32) as AMS/ACI cost per shipping will be charged.

If customer wants to order those items from our stock for the reason of fast delivery or limited order quantity, please kindly understand our stock information might under change during the time course of communication or payment.

Normalwise our MOQ for reel case, lure bag is 200 to 500 pc per item. Fishing bags & rod tubes 200 pc, fly vest 300 pc per item, the ration behind is that we will not leave too much raw materials in stock. This usually applies in one purchase of only one item. If customer is interested in many items, and they are of same materials or customer request to be same material. The MOQ request of single item can be much reduced to 50 pc per item.
Following two examples help you to understand our MOQ better. If you are interested in rod tubes BTi-LT-T008, 7.5X 120CM , 7.5 for the diameter of the tube, 120 for the length. The MOQ is 200 pcs, which is decided by the surface material. You can order BTi-LT-T008 of many different length such as 7.5X 40CM , 7.5X140 or as any you request. Tube diameter we have three choices, 5CM , 6.3CM , or 7.5CM , They are not decisive for MOQ. So you also can order BTi-LT-T 008 in different diameters and lengths, so long with our BTi-LT-008 surface material or material you request.
Another example will be that when you are interested in lure bag, rod tubes, real case, and fishing bags et al. You can set all these items with same materials. MOQ for single item will be more flexible
