Technical brief
We define the task, throughput, operating conditions, standards, budget and start date.
Equipment from China
Equipment from China, factory-direct and turnkey
We find the manufacturer for your technical brief, compare like-for-like configurations, verify the plant, accept the machine before dispatch and manage customs-cleared delivery to your site.

01
A technical tender, not a price-list comparison
Two machines that look identical can use different motors, controls, tolerances, component grades and real throughput. Sourcing therefore starts with the operating requirement and a measurable technical specification, not the lowest advertised price.
We normalize offers to one configuration: voltage and frequency, throughput, permitted inputs, automation, tooling, software, labelling and safety. Only then do we compare price and lead time.
- Industrial machinery and production lines
- Packaging and warehouse equipment
- Food-processing, refrigeration and HORECA equipment
- Tooling, spare parts and components
02
Verify both the plant and the machine
A sales deck does not prove the supplier manufactures the equipment or can support it a year later. We check the Chinese legal entity, plant address, product focus, capacity, engineering team and export documents.
The contract defines a factory acceptance test: what the machine must demonstrate, using which input, at what throughput and reject rate. The inspector checks nameplates, scope of supply, electricals, guards and packing before the balance payment.
03
Logistics is engineered with the equipment
If a module exceeds a standard container, the project may require open top, flat rack or oversized routing. Before manufacturing, we confirm disassembly, lifting points, centre of gravity, preservation and export packing.
We establish the HS code, duties, taxes, certificates and document set before shipment. Manuals, drawings, start-up consumables and critical spare parts travel with the order so commissioning does not wait for one inexpensive component.
How equipment sourcing works
Factory search
We identify specialist manufacturers and verify their legal and technical base.
Comparison
Factories quote one configuration and we estimate the landed cost.
Contract
We lock the specification, FAT, warranty, spares, documents and payment stages.
Acceptance
We run the test and check completeness, safety, labelling and packing.
Delivery
We manage export, insurance, customs and transport to the installation site.
Estimate: a mixed 40HQ container for a store
One container (~76 m³) of retail stock priced two ways: local wholesalers — versus factory consolidation via Dream View.
| Local market | Via Dream View | Savings | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Furniture and interior goods | $44,000 | $26,500 | −40% |
| Lighting and electrical | $21,000 | $12,800 | −39% |
| Tableware and homeware | $18,000 | $11,200 | −38% |
| Textiles | $13,000 | $10,500 | −19% |
| Total | $96,000 | $61,000 | −36% |
A consolidated estimate based on real 2025–2026 projects. Dream View prices are door-to-door: factory + freight + insurance + the flat 10% fee. An exact estimate for your project is calculated free of charge, before any contract.
Quality control
The AQL inspection checklist
Every batch goes through the same protocol — from the factory audit to the container seal. Defects are caught in China, not at your warehouse.
- 01
Factory audit before ordering
Business license, export history, a real manufacturer (not a trader), photo report from the site.
- 02
Golden sample before the deposit
An approved reference for materials, color and hardware — the basis for any later claim.
- 03
In-production check (DUPRO)
Inspection of raw materials and semi-finished goods on the line: materials, geometry, spec compliance.
- 04
Final inspection (PSI) to ISO 2859
Sampling at AQL 2.5 major / 4.0 minor / 0 critical before the balance is paid. The batch is accepted or reworked at the factory's cost.
- 05
Photo and video before packing
Every item is documented before packing; you sign off on the report.
- 06
Loading check and container seal
Piece count and packaging verified at loading, container sealed.
- 07
Report for your approval
The balance is paid to the factory only after you confirm the report.
- Request a batch inspection
The outcome: defects stay in China
An inspection costs a fraction of a percent of the batch. Skipping it costs rework, a delayed opening and a second freight run — at your expense.

Frequently asked questions
What equipment can you source from China?+
Industrial lines, machinery, packaging, food-processing, refrigeration, warehouse and HORECA equipment, plus parts and tooling. We first check import restrictions and destination-market certification.
How do you verify a Chinese equipment manufacturer?+
We check the legal entity, manufacturing profile, actual capacity, export history and documentation. For a material order, we audit the plant and perform technical acceptance with a test run.
Can equipment be built to our technical specification?+
Yes. We translate the brief into Chinese and agree throughput, power, interfaces, materials, accuracy, safety, scope of supply and the factory acceptance test protocol.
What is included in turnkey supply?+
Factory search and tender, negotiation, contract and payments, production control, inspection, export packing, insurance, customs clearance and delivery. Commissioning is scoped per project.
How are warranty and spare parts handled?+
Before order, we lock the warranty period, critical spares list, remote diagnostics, documentation language and supplier response times. A start-up spares kit can ship with the machine.
How is oversized machinery shipped?+
By standard or open-top container, flat rack or project cargo. Before production, we validate transport dimensions, lifting points, securing and the final route to site.
