What is your MOQ and lead time?
Both are quoted by model and quantity. Helmet tooling, shell sizes
and visor types all change the numbers, so we don't publish one-size MOQs — send us the
model and quantity you have in mind and you'll get exact figures with your quotation.
Do you own the factories?
No — and we think that's a feature. Taotao Sourcing is an
independent trading and sourcing company. That means we can screen factories objectively,
switch suppliers if one slips, and negotiate on your side of the table. We tell you
exactly who manufactures what, and the factory relationship for every product is stated
clearly before you order.
Can you source motorcycle helmets for markets using UN R22, DOT or GB 811?
These are different systems. Under U.S. FMVSS No. 218, the
manufacturer self-certifies and applies the DOT symbol; markets applying UN Regulation
No. 22 use type approval; GB 811-2022 is China's mandatory national standard, with
current China-market CCC requirements checked separately. We can collect model-specific
supplier documents and compare names and stated scope, but we do not issue certification
or regulatory clearance. Confirm requirements with the relevant authority or a qualified
specialist before ordering.
Do you charge for sourcing services?
Verification, inspection and managed sourcing are services with
defined scope. The fee and commercial terms—including whether a service element is
included in a product price—are agreed in writing before work starts.
What size customers do you work with?
Small and mid-size importers, distributors and trading companies —
buyers who need a responsible partner in China rather than the biggest account manager at
a giant trader. Every inquiry is handled personally by Katherine.
