What is Deposit?

The deposit, usually around 30% of the order value, is the payment that commits both sides: it funds the factory's materials and confirms your order is real. Never pay it to an unverified company β€” confirm the business licence, export record and bank account first, because a deposit sent to a scammer is gone. The remaining balance stays in your hands as leverage until inspection passes.
