| Carton (197 units) | Tier 1 | 21-30 days |
| Pallet (1142 units) | Tier 2 | 30-45 days |
| Container (11473 units) | Tier 3 | 30-45 days |
Frequently asked questions
Should Box 4 be discounted to launch?
A short introductory offer works; repeated hardware discounting damages the perceived value of the range.
Do you support long term supply agreements?
Yes, rolling agreements with defined review points work better for both sides than rigid annual commitments.
Is documentation provided for customs?
Commercial invoice, packing list and the relevant certificates are supplied; the importer's broker handles the declaration.
How quickly can a repeat order be produced?
For established configurations production typically runs two to four weeks, with transit on top depending on the chosen method.
Final word
The buyers who do this well are not luckier; they are simply more consistent about the basics.
