Procurement FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions for Buyers & Importers

Clear answers on how we compare to direct China factories, our minimum order requirements, compliance responsibilities and brand exclusivity.

How is Main Paper different from sourcing direct from a China factory?

Stand-alone factories produce single product types, require high MOQs per item, ship only FOB, and leave EU legal compliance (GPSR/EN 71) entirely on your shoulders. Main Paper provides a hybrid model: Spanish product design, in-house Ningbo QC and mixed full containers from Asia, combined with 100,000 m² of European warehousing in Spain, Italy, and Poland for fast in-season restocking.

Can Main Paper act as our EU Responsible Person under GPSR?

Yes. For products supplied under our brands or developed through our private label programs, Main Paper S.L. legally acts as the EU Responsible Person under Regulation (EU) 2023/988 (GPSR). We maintain full technical dossiers, safety test reports (EN 71, REACH SVHC), and compliant EU labeling.

What are your Minimum Order Quantities (MOQ)?

We operate two fulfillment tracks: For European stock, orders start from just one pallet with delivery in 3–5 working days. For direct import, orders start from one 40' high-cube container shipped FOB Ningbo, with full freedom to mix items across our 5,000+ catalog under one customs declaration.

How do you grant regional or national exclusivity?

Territorial exclusivity is reserved for qualified wholesale importers (Category 1A) with active local sales teams. Exclusivity is granted following a successful trial container order and mutually agreed annual turnover targets, with strict guarantees that we will not supply competing retail accounts in your territory.
