Add Window Coverings
To Your Import Portfolio
Built for experienced container importers already moving flooring, doors, hardware or other building materials -- and now evaluating window coverings as a next category. We understand your logistics, your lead-time expectations and your need for a supplier who won't slow you down.

What this means in practice
Because you already operate a container import business, we don't need to explain how freight works. What we do need to cover together is the product side: louvre widths, frame profiles, material suitability by climate, packaging standards, and how to spec a product range that sells in your market.
We've supplied importers who came from flooring, timber, hardware and aluminium profiles. The common thread is that they understood supply chains but needed a window coverings manufacturer who could compress the learning curve -- not one who assumed they already knew the category.
Typical first-order profile
- Volume 1× 20ft or 40ft FCL, mixed across 2-3 product lines (shutters + roller shades, for example)
- Lead Time 20-30 days for shutters and blinds; 7-15 days for shades -- from confirmed PO
- Packaging Standard export cartons; private-label packaging available from second order
- Incoterm FOB Xiamen standard; CIF available on request
Built For Container
Import Operations
Every capability listed below was shaped by working with importers who had exactly your background. None of it is theoretical.
Full Category -- One Supplier Relationship
Plantation shutters, venetian blinds and window shades are all manufactured at the same Xiamen facility. One contact, one quality system, one shipment. No need to manage three separate suppliers to launch a complete window coverings range.
FCL Mixed-Load Container Packing
We pack shutters, blinds and shades into a single FCL -- 20ft or 40ft -- with standard export cartons sized for efficient container utilisation. Mixed-product loads are routine for us, not a special request that requires a premium.
Export Documentation -- No Surprises
Commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, certificate of origin and any market-specific compliance documentation are prepared as standard. We've shipped to US, AU, NZ, UK, CA and IE ports and understand what each destination requires at customs.
Predictable Lead Times You Can Plan Around
20-30 days for plantation shutters and venetian blinds; 7-15 days for window shades. These are production lead times from confirmed PO -- not estimates that shift once you've placed an order. Repeat orders follow the same schedule.
Category Entry Guidance -- Practical, Not Theoretical
We can advise on which product families move fastest in your target market, which materials suit your local climate, and how to structure a starter range that doesn't over-commit your working capital. This is based on what we see across our existing importer base -- not generic market data.
QC Documentation for Trade Buyers
IQC, IPQC and FQC inspection reports are available per order. FSC chain-of-custody documentation for pine products is available for markets requiring it. We understand that your downstream trade customers -- builders, retailers, architects -- may ask you for compliance evidence.
If you want to go deeper on the mechanics of sourcing from China -- supplier vetting, payment terms, inspection protocols, shipping documentation -- our China Sourcing resource library covers the process in practical detail, written for experienced importers, not first-timers.
Typical Partnership
Structures
Building material importers tend to engage with us in one of four ways. Most start with the first and evolve over time -- but the entry point is always wherever makes commercial sense for you.
Standard Import -- Stock and Resell
You order a range of our standard products -- sizes, colours and materials you select from our catalogue -- pack them into an FCL and sell from your warehouse. No custom development required. This is the fastest path to having a window coverings range available to your trade customers.
- Minimum order: 1× FCL (20ft or 40ft), mixed product acceptable
- Standard export cartons with Goodwood branding (or unbranded)
- FOB Xiamen pricing; repeat orders on same pricing once volume is established
Private Label -- Your Brand, Our Manufacturing
If you're building a branded product range or want to present window coverings under your existing company brand, we produce and package under your label. Custom packaging artwork, branded installation hardware and private-label documentation are all handled in-house.
- Available from second order once the relationship is established
- Packaging artwork setup is a one-time cost; no per-unit premium on repeat runs
- Compatible with regional exclusivity agreements (see below)
Regional Exclusivity -- Qualifying Volume Partners
For importers who reach a defined annual volume threshold, we offer regional exclusivity on specific product lines -- meaning we won't supply the same product to a competing importer in your territory. This is a formal commercial arrangement, not a vague preference.
- Volume thresholds are agreed per product line and territory -- ask us for specifics
- Available in US, CA, AU, NZ, UK and IE markets
- Can be combined with private-label packaging for a stronger market position
Replenishment Supply -- Ongoing Repeat Orders
Once your range is established and selling, you'll need a reliable replenishment cadence. We support scheduled repeat orders -- quarterly FCLs, smaller air-freight top-ups between containers, or a combination -- without requiring you to re-negotiate pricing or re-submit specifications each cycle.
- Pricing locked for agreed order cycles; no surprise increases between shipments
- Air-freight small-batch top-ups available for fast-moving SKUs between FCL cycles
- Dedicated account contact for repeat orders -- you're not re-starting from scratch each time
