What we verify at the factory, before the container is sealed
Goods that fail compliance or pre-shipment QC stay in China at the factory's cost, you do not pay freight on non-compliant product.
Ask about compliance documentation →- CE marking under the Low Voltage Directive (LVD 2014/35/EU)
- EMC Directive 2014/30/EU
- RoHS 2011/65/EU; EU Declaration of Conformity verified before shipment
- EU energy labelling for light sources (Reg. (EU) 2019/2015) where applicable
- Pre-shipment electrical-safety QC before container sealing
- Other markets: UKCA for Great Britain, FCC for the US (where US projects usually also need a UL or ETL listing) and RCM for Australia; elsewhere, the standards your market requires
What this lands at, delivered to you
Decorative and architectural lighting bought factory-direct from Zhongshan typically lands 40–50% below local trade suppliers for an equivalent specification. We confirm the product codes and quote the landed cost to your country, including freight, duty and import tax. For the US, tariffs change often, so we quote duty on the day you order.
Lead time and logistics
Lead time: 4–6 weeks production; sea freight schedule confirmed in your quote.
Fittings ship foam-packed and boxed; large chandeliers are crated separately. Ériu Sourcing checks the compliance documents and that drivers match your market's voltage at the factory before shipment, and consolidates lighting with your other furniture and fittings where it suits. We confirm the carrier schedule in your quote.
Import rules for where you sell
Tax, duty and certification differ by country. Each market page sets out what applies, with sources, and how we check it before you pay.
Hospitality Fit-Out, sourcing questions answered
Something not covered here? Ask the team →
Is hospitality lighting from Zhongshan compliant for our market?
For Europe, we check an EU Declaration of Conformity covering the Low Voltage Directive, EMC Directive and RoHS, with drivers matched to the local mains supply, at the factory before shipment. We get manufacturer-signed documentation, not a third-party certificate of unknown origin. For other markets, such as UKCA in Great Britain or FCC and UL/ETL in the US, tell us at brief stage and we confirm the factory can document it before you order.
Can fittings be made to a designer's bespoke specification?
Yes. Guzhen factories make bespoke pendants and chandeliers to a designer's drawing, with custom finishes, glass, shade fabrics and dimensions, and RAL colours matched to your brand. We approve a sample fitting before the production run.
Will the lighting work with our dimming and control system?
Tell us your control protocol at brief stage (TRIAC, 0–10V or DALI) and we match the driver to it. That avoids the common problem of imported fittings that flicker or won't dim on your control system.
How much can we save versus local lighting suppliers?
Factory-direct Zhongshan lighting typically lands 40–50% below local trade suppliers for a comparable decorative or architectural specification. The saving is the specification-house and distributor margin you no longer pay.
