3-day DHL delivery.

DHL Priority Express standard: 3–5 business days door-to-door from Wuxi to any major US city. FedEx International Priority: 3–4 days. For non-urgent orders, FedEx Economy (5–7 days) cuts shipping cost by 30–40%. Sea freight for large orders (300+ kg): 25–30 days but 70% cheaper per kg. We quote shipping cost at time of order so you can optimize.

Yes. CIFProto is ITAR-registered for receipt of ITAR-controlled technical data. This enables US aerospace and defense customers to share ITAR drawings and specifications with us for manufacturing. Note: ITAR-controlled export of finished parts back to the US remains the customer's responsibility to manage with their export control documentation.

Most CNC machined parts are HTS 8480–8487 (general machinery parts) or 8487 (specialty parts) with 2.5–3.9% duty typically. China-specific tariffs (Section 301) may add 7.5–25% on certain products depending on product category and current trade policy. We ship DDU (Delivered Duty Unpaid) — you handle customs; this is cheaper and more transparent than DDP. Our EIN is available to your broker on request.

Yes. Our US business development contact works US-friendly hours (overlapping 6–9 AM PT with end of China business day). Technical engineering reviews handled in Wuxi — typically 12–24 hour response to US emails due to timezone. For urgent issues during US business hours, WhatsApp and email reach our engineering team directly.

Typical savings: 30–60% on finished parts vs US domestic machining for equivalent quality. Exact savings depend on part complexity, quantity, material, and your domestic reference pricing. Best savings on labor-intensive work (manual CNC setup, finishing, assembly). Smallest savings on highly automated work (5-axis machining with minimal setup).
