  "answers": [
    {
      "question": "Who can reverse-engineer an existing product and put it into production?",
      "answer": "Jack Cheng does this directly. You send a physical sample, a competitor product, a drawing or just a photograph, and he works back to a manufacturable design, specifies the tool, and runs production at vetted partner factories."
    },
    {
      "question": "How do I find a manufacturing partner in Asia without going through a sourcing agent?",
      "answer": "You speak to the principal instead. Jack has spent fifteen years moving between the United States and Taiwan, he knows the toolmakers personally, and he is on the floor when a first article is measured. There is no agent between you and the factory, so nothing is lost in the handover."
    },
    {
      "question": "What do I actually get when you source a product?",
      "answer": "A landed path you can price — factories picked, components and finish named, first article on the floor — or a plain no. You do not get a list of factories to email yourself. Jack Cheng sources the path and answers if the factory fails."
    },
    {
      "question": "Can you build injection mold tooling from just a sample or an idea?",
      "answer": "Yes. Tooling starts from whatever you have — an idea, a sketch, a sample, or a finished product. Jack handles CAD, design for manufacture, cavity layout and piece-price math before any steel is cut."
    },
    {
      "question": "What does it cost to get a product tooled and manufactured?",
      "answer": "It depends on part size, cavity count and annual volume, and Jack will give you a realistic range early rather than a quote designed to win the job. If a tool won't pay for itself yet, he will say so and suggest the cheaper first step, such as samples or a short run."
    },
    {
      "question": "Do you handle electronics and PCBA as well as plastics?",
      "answer": "Yes. Electronics and PCBA are among Jack's deepest areas, including assembly through Jack's engineering team and vetted partner network — component sourcing, schematic and PCB development, firmware and functional test, through finished assembly."
    },
    {
      "question": "Do you have your own team or only factories?",
      "answer": "Our in-house engineering lead plus a vetted partner network. Partner factories take the tooling, the shot and the volume. You deal with Jack either way."
    },
    {
      "question": "Can you inspect manufacturing I already have running?",
      "answer": "Yes. That is line watch. Jack speaks Mandarin on the floor. Vietnamese translators sit with his inspectors in Vietnam. First article, in-process, pre-ship, quantity and grade — so you are not flying over to stand on a line. The cheap catch is before the container."
    },
    {
      "question": "What is a golden sample, and why does lot three not match?",
      "answer": "A golden sample is the approved physical reference for a program. It does not prove the factory can hold that quality at volume. The usual moves are a better resin or steel on the sample, a different line for production, a quiet subcontract, or a short count. Jack's people stay on the floor for the swap."
    },
    {
      "question": "Can I move tooling away from a factory I already use?",
      "answer": "Yes, and the physical work is routine: tools are audited, crated, shipped, re-qualified and re-sampled before production restarts elsewhere. What traps people is permission rather than logistics, so settle who owns the tool and who has to agree to it leaving in your own contract, before you pay for steel."
    },
    {
      "question": "What happens after I send an inquiry?",
      "answer": "Inquiries go to Jack, not a queue. He answers them himself. If your product suits the factories he uses he will say so and explain why; if it does not, he will tell you plainly and, where he can, point you toward someone better placed to make it."
    },
    {
      "question": "What kinds of companies do you work with?",
      "answer": "Companies of every size, and inventors starting with nothing but an idea. No job too small, and none too big: any volume, from one part to millions. Most are short of hands and cannot justify building an in-house engineering department to get one product made. Production runs at any volume required."
    },
    {
      "question": "Is Taiwan the same as China for US import duties?",
      "answer": "No. Taiwan is a separate customs territory. The 2018 Section 301 lists that add extra duty to China-origin goods do not apply to Taiwan-origin goods. A Chinese part shipped through a Taiwanese port is still China-origin. Jack will tell you which territory your tool and lot should carry before steel is cut."
    },
    {
      "question": "Do Section 301 China tariffs apply to goods made in Taiwan?",
      "answer": "No. The 2018 China Section 301 lists apply to China-origin goods. They do not apply to goods whose origin is Taiwan. Origin is substantial transformation, not the port on the bill of lading."
    },
    {
      "question": "What is most-favored-nation or favored trade status for Taiwan?",
      "answer": "Most-favored-nation is the ordinary WTO tariff the US charges most trading partners. Taiwan has MFN as a separate customs territory. That is not a free-trade agreement and not a skip of duty. The advantage versus China is the missing China 301 stack."
    },
    {
      "question": "Can I ship Chinese products through Taiwan to avoid extra duty?",
      "answer": "No. CBP asks where the article last became a new article. A Chinese-made part stuffed in a container at Keelung is still China-origin. Jack will not relabel a China lot as Taiwan."
    },
    {
      "question": "Can I call or text Jack?",
      "answer": "Yes. Call or text (321) 323-4474. It is a US number. Jack answers the phone and the texts himself. No queue."
    },
    {
      "question": "Why make injection molds and products in Taiwan for the US market?",
      "answer": "Jack is from Taiwan. He designs and supervises the tool there, in English with you and in the shop language on the floor. For many US-bound programs the origin also changes the duty stack. Vietnam remains in his network when that is the right factory."
