Buyer Questions Answered

The Concerns Every Partner
Asks First

We've heard every objection about SKD/CKD supply. Here's how we address them directly.

The concern

"We don't have a full assembly line — can we handle CKD components?"

Our answer
That's why we offer both SKD and CKD. SKD kits arrive as pre-wired sub-assemblies requiring only final housing closure and labelling — a process any small electrical workshop can complete. CKD is for partners with full board assembly capability. We'll recommend the right level based on your production setup.
The concern

"If we assemble locally, will the product still pass CE certification?"

Our answer
Yes. CE certification is based on the type-tested design and components — not the final assembly location. TrilPeak provides the full IEC type test reports and CE certificate for the design. Your local assembly follows our documented process, so the product maintains full compliance.
The concern

"What if local customs classifies our SKD shipment as finished goods anyway?"

Our answer
This is a real risk and we address it directly. We work with our partners to structure the shipment correctly — correct HS codes, component-level packing lists, and technical documentation that clearly demonstrates the unassembled nature of the goods. We've successfully supplied SKD/CKD to partners in 15+ markets.
The Components

What's Included in Your
Knockdown Kit

TrilPeak SKD/CKD kits contain every component of our CE-certified surge protector designs, pre-sourced and pre-kitted for your assembly line. Every kit ships with the technical documentation your local team needs.

SKD vs CKD — Which Is Right for You?

SKD (Semi-Knocked Down): Pre-wired sub-assemblies. Minimal local work. Lower assembly skill required. Suitable for small workshops.

CKD (Completely Knocked Down): All individual components. Full local assembly. Maximum duty advantage. Requires assembly capability and tooling.

Why TrilPeak

The TrilPeak
Difference

Not every factory can supply components. Here's what makes TrilPeak the right partner for SKD/CKD supply programs.

Genuine Duty Reduction

In markets where finished SPD duty is 25-35%, correct SKD/CKD classification as components typically attracts 8-12%. This is a legitimate trade classification. We've helped partners in 15+ markets navigate this.

In-House MOV Quality

Because we manufacture our own MOV chips in our 20,000m² factory, every kit contains the same grade of varistor used in our factory-finished products. No quality downgrade for SKD supply.

Complete Technical File

Local assembly doesn't mean losing compliance. We supply full IEC 61643-11 type test reports and CE certificates by ECM Italy — everything your local regulator or distributor will ask for.

Frequently
Asked

Still have questions?

Common questions about starting an SKD or CKD assembly partnership with TrilPeak.

What exactly is the difference between SKD and CKD?+

SKD (Semi-Knocked Down) means we supply pre-assembled sub-components that require only final closure and labelling locally. CKD (Completely Knocked Down) means every individual component is supplied separately. SKD suits partners with basic workshop capability; CKD suits those with a full assembly line.

Which markets benefit most from SKD/CKD supply?+

Markets with import duties of 15% or more on finished electrical products show the strongest advantage. This currently includes Brazil, India, Turkey, South Africa, Indonesia, and several African markets. We can assess your specific market before you commit.

Does local assembly affect the CE certification?+

No. CE certification is based on the product design and component specification — not the assembly location. As long as assembly follows our documented process, the product maintains full compliance based on our ECM Italy third-party testing.

What is the minimum order for SKD/CKD supply?+

Minimum quantities depend on the model complexity. As a guide, orders typically start from 500 units equivalent. Contact us with your target model and volume for a specific MOQ and pricing.

Can we apply our own brand to locally assembled products?+

Yes. Many SKD/CKD partners combine local assembly with OEM branding — applying their logo to the housing and packaging. TrilPeak provides the branded label artwork specifications to support this.

What documentation do you provide for customs?+

We provide a component-level packing list with correct HS codes, a technical description confirming the unassembled nature of the goods, and IEC type test reports. We have successfully navigated customs in 15+ markets with this package.
