6origins
Light & Medium Machinery suppliers on Freshdi are spread over 6 countries, led by China at 16.7%, as of 14 November 2026.
Only 6 suppliers are currently active in the Light & Medium Machinery category, and none have updated their listings in the last 30 days — just one did in the past 90. This means the supply is static, and buyers should treat each supplier as a one-off opportunity rather than a long-term option. With no recent updates, there's little room for negotiation on pricing or lead times, so due diligence is critical before engaging. There are 12 listings available at the moment, which is a small catalog for a category that typically sees more volume. A buyer looking for a specific model, capacity, or application may not find a direct match, meaning they’ll likely need to reach out directly to suppliers to confirm availability or customization options. Suppliers come from 6 different countries, with China making up just 16.7% of the total — a modest share in a category that’s otherwise globally distributed. This suggests buyers have a range of geographic options, though no single country dominates, which can help reduce reliance on one region’s supply chain risks or import regulations.

Trade terms and how to compare quotations
A reference for every category: what the usual trade and payment terms mean, and the points to check when you compare quotations.
| Term | Type | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| EXW | Incoterm | The buyer collects the goods at the seller's premises and pays every cost from there. |
| FCA | Incoterm | The seller hands the goods, cleared for export, to the buyer's carrier at a named place. |
| FOB | Incoterm | The seller loads the goods on the vessel at the port of loading; freight is the buyer's. |
| CFR | Incoterm | The seller pays sea freight to the destination port; the risk passes once loaded. |
| CIF | Incoterm | Like CFR, and the seller also insures the goods until the destination port. |
| CPT | Incoterm | The seller pays carriage to a named place; the risk passes at the first carrier. |
| CIP | Incoterm | Like CPT, and the seller also insures the goods to the named place. |
| DAP | Incoterm | The seller delivers to a named place, ready for unloading; import duties are the buyer's. |
| DPU | Incoterm | The seller delivers and unloads the goods at a named place in the destination country. |
| DDP | Incoterm | The seller delivers to the buyer's place and pays import duties and taxes too. |
| FAS | Incoterm | The seller places the goods alongside the vessel at the port of loading. |
| T/T | Payment term | A bank transfer, often a deposit before production and the balance against documents. |

| Bank Transfer | Payment term | A direct transfer between bank accounts, agreed in the contract. |
| Escrow | Payment term | A third party holds the payment until the buyer confirms delivery. |

Name the Incoterm with a place, and agree it and the payment term in writing before production starts.
| Point | What to check | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Incoterm and place | Every quotation names the same Incoterm and port or place. | Prices on FOB and on CIF differ by the freight and the insurance. |
| Specification | The grade, size or composition quoted matches the one asked for. | A lower grade can hide behind a lower price. |
| Quantity and MOQ | The price is for the quantity ordered, above the minimum order. | Unit prices change with the order size. |
| Packaging | Packing type, size and labelling are stated and the same. | Custom packing adds cost. |
| Payment term | The payment term and the deposit asked. | It moves the risk between buyer and seller. |
| Lead time | The production and shipping time to the destination. | A late shipment can cost more than a higher price. |
| Documents | The certificates and export documents included. | Missing papers can block customs. |
| Validity | How long the quoted price holds. | Quotations are often valid for a limited time only. |
Ask every counterpart to quote on the same basis: only then does the lower price win.
