Define the market
Sales channel, age range, budget and destination. A useful brief keeps the selection focused.
SOURCING & QUALITY
A wider choice.
A more considered process.
For importers, wholesalers and retail teams who need product selection, production details and order coordination to move in the same direction.
A PRACTICAL WAY FORWARD
One brief.
Four connected stages.
Build the shortlist
Compare functions, sample quality, packaging and quantities against the same specification.
Approve the details
Confirm sample, artwork, testing scope and inspection criteria before the production commitment.
Prepare the shipment
Bring together carton details, agreed checks, documents and forwarder handover for your order.
ORDER TERMS AT A GLANCE
The commercial rules
behind every quote.
Exact figures are model specific, but these are the standing terms buyers plan around.
Minimum order
Three export cartons per SKU. Pieces per carton vary by item and are stated per model.
Mixed orders
Different SKUs and categories consolidate into one shipment; carton counts and windows are planned together.
Container volumes
Most buyers plan FCL mixed containers; LCL can be discussed with the freight effect shown.
Price terms
Commonly FOB, with CIF or other Incoterms arranged; boundaries are written into the quotation.
Payment
Deposit and release milestones agreed in writing; no online payment is taken on this site.
Lead time
Fixed per order by model, quantity and customisation; seasonal lines are booked ahead.
01 / UNDERSTAND THE COMMERCIAL BRIEF
Start where
your customer shops.
A range for a regional distributor, a supermarket shelf and an online store can start with the same toy and end with different specifications. We ask about the destination, price position, quantity, age group and sales channel before building the shortlist.
Share reference images, must-have functions and the products you already sell. If the budget is fixed, tell us whether it applies to the product, retail pack or landed cost. That distinction makes a quotation much more useful.
02 / COMPARE LIKE WITH LIKE
The quote is only
as clear as the specification.
Two products can look alike while differing in materials, motor, battery, accessories or pack size. We bring those variables into the comparison so your team can evaluate the total offer rather than a single price.
Agree the sample, colour, included items, instructions and packaging. For a mixed order, compare carton quantities, production windows and consolidation requirements together. Record the approvals before the purchase order is finalised.
03 / QUALITY & DOCUMENTATION
Ask for evidence
that matches the model.
Our laboratory equipment supports structural-strength, material-performance, kinetic-energy and electromagnetic compatibility checks. These tools support product evaluation and the quality conversations around your order.
Destination requirements depend on product type, age grade and configuration. We can review available model-specific reports and discuss additional testing or independent inspection as part of the project. Product reports, factory management systems and social audits serve different purposes; request the documents relevant to your order.
Before production, agree the reference sample and inspection scope. Before shipment, confirm the packing and documents required by your importer and freight partners. Any issue is easier to address when the decision criteria have already been recorded.
DOCUMENT LIBRARY
See the document.
Check its scope.
Factory audits, product test reports and compliance verifications are grouped below, with complete original files available to view. The product documents cover electric water gun models identified in each file; they do not cover the entire catalogue. Check the model, applicant, dates and destination requirements with our team before ordering. The CPC template is a preparation aid, not an issued certificate.

04 / CONSOLIDATION & HANDOVER
Plan the carton.
Then plan the journey.
The cost of a toy order also lives in its outer cartons. We can coordinate packing details and consolidation around the models and production schedule agreed for your order. This helps you and your forwarder review volume and collection arrangements earlier.
Ask for the packing list, dimensions, weights and agreed document set. Products with batteries, liquids or other transport considerations need a specific review with the freight provider. Shipping terms, payment milestones, insurance and responsibilities belong in the written quotation.
The name ToyFreight.com reflects movement through the sourcing process. Freight services and destination delivery are scoped separately according to the arrangement confirmed for each order.
A COMPLETE REQUEST FOR QUOTATION
What to put
in your RFQ.
The same details let us compare suppliers correctly and give you a quotation tied to one specification.
Product
TF references or links, required quantity per item, intended age group and any functions or materials that are non-negotiable.
Market
Sales country, sales channel and target price position—product, retail pack or landed cost—and the standards you need met.
Logistics
Required delivery date, packaging or branding needs, your forwarder details if any and FCL or LCL preference.
DIFFERENT BUYERS. DIFFERENT PRIORITIES.
Built around
your business model.
Importers & wholesalers
Build a balanced range across play categories. Discuss mixed orders, model continuity, carton economics and the documents needed by your local importing team.
Retail chains
Plan pack presentation, shelf footprint, assortment structure and promotional timing. Confirm artwork, barcodes and market requirements against the selected model.
Online sellers & brands
Review pack dimensions, product images, brand presentation and replenishment options. Platform or fulfilment requirements should be shared at the quotation stage.
A LITTLE CLARITY
Before we get started.
What is the minimum order quantity?
Three export cartons per SKU. There is no single catalogue-wide piece MOQ because carton counts vary with product size—small accessories may hold well over 100 pieces per carton, walkers and large outdoor items far fewer. The exact pieces per carton are given for the selected model.
Do you work with full containers only?
Most of our buyers plan full-container-load (FCL) mixed shipments, but smaller volumes can be discussed. For less-than-container-load (LCL) orders, compare freight, handling and destination charges alongside the product cost to assess the landed cost.
Can different categories be combined?
Yes. Different SKUs and categories can be consolidated into one shipment. We confirm carton counts, production windows, packing list and loading together so the container is planned, not guessed.
Which Incoterms and payment terms apply?
These are agreed per order—commonly FOB, with CIF or other terms arranged where requested. Payment milestones, deposit and release conditions belong in the written quotation rather than in a general rule.
How are quality and inspection handled?
Agree the reference sample, test scope and inspection criteria before production, and the packing and document set before shipment. We can discuss independent third-party inspection as part of the project.
How long is the lead time?
It depends on the model, quantity, customisation and season, so it is fixed in the quotation. Seasonal outdoor and summer lines are normally booked months ahead to protect the sales window.
Which compliance documents can you provide?
Ask for available model-specific ASTM F963, CPSIA and EN 71 test results, documentation supporting CE marking, and any relevant radio or battery documents. BSCI social-audit and ISO 9001 quality-management references serve different purposes and do not certify a toy. Verify scope, validity and the legal entity against your order.
What is not included in a unit price?
Unless stated, the price does not include destination duties, insurance, delivery beyond the agreed handover point or third-party testing commissioned specifically for your order. Check the quotation boundaries.
