What to send in the first RFQ

Product direction

Share the product category, target skin feel, use case, formula references, ingredients to include or avoid, and whether this is a ready formula, adjusted formula, or custom route.

Packaging route

Send bottle, tube, jar, pump, label, carton, set box, logo artwork status, color preference, capacity, and any sample packaging reference.

Market and documents

Tell GUOCUI the destination market, sales channel, label language, document needs, and whether a local importer, Responsible Person, or compliance partner is already appointed.

How GUOCUI should respond

GUOCUI should answer with a clear sample route, realistic MOQ and quotation variables, packaging proof steps, document checklist, and next action. The response should avoid exaggerated efficacy claims, fake certifications, fixed prices without specifications, or generic factory self-praise.
