Frequently asked questions

Is freight insurance worth it for Meta 5 orders?

Is documentation provided for customs?

Commercial invoice, packing list and the relevant certificates are supplied; the importer's broker handles the declaration.

Can packaging be adjusted for our market?

Artwork localisation is straightforward; structural changes need larger volumes and a longer lead time.

Yes, rolling agreements with defined review points work better for both sides than rigid annual commitments.
