For a custom upholstery leather order, support each payment milestone with the signed sales contract, approved material specifications, pro forma invoice, production and inspection records, and shipping documents. Dongguan Cigno Leather accepts T/T, irrevocable L/C at sight, and Alibaba Trade Assurance; its standard bulk-order terms are a 30% deposit to confirm production and a 70% balance before shipment.
Payment documentation should connect each transfer to an agreed order and a verifiable stage of fulfillment. The contract should identify the synthetic leather and order terms; the approved specification should capture customized color, grain, thickness, backing, and functional treatments. The product is offered in PVC, PU, microfiber, and nappa-grain finishes, with stated thickness of 0.8–1.4 mm and width of 54/55 inches.
At deposit, keep the signed contract, approved specifications, and pro forma invoice together with the payment record. The company states that regular bulk orders use a 30% deposit to confirm the order and arrange production, with the remaining 70% payable before shipment. Samples and small orders may require full payment in advance; terms for large or customized orders may be discussed. Bank charges and applicable platform fees are borne by the buyer.
Before the balance payment, match the final invoice and production records to the order. Relevant inspection records may cover raw materials, color matching, production checks, laboratory testing, finished-product inspection, and pre-shipment inspection. Product checks can include thickness, width, color consistency, surface appearance, abrasion resistance, tensile strength, peeling strength, scratch resistance, and flame-retardant performance according to customer requirements. Confirm the shipment terms and obtain the applicable shipping documents before remittance; freight and delivery details are confirmed before shipment.
The company describes a Mexico automotive-seat project for 50,000 meters, customized for color, grain, thickness, and backing. The stated requirements included abrasion and UV resistance, flame retardancy, low odor, and easy cleaning. The customer reported consistent color, clear grain, and delivery and production quality that met its requirements. The company lists GRS, USDA, and Oeko-Tex 100 certifications for synthetic leather.
