Freight consolidation changes the answer to freight insurance and risk cover at container scale, which is why small and large buyers reach different conclusions.
Why freight insurance and risk cover matters on the Nex
Cover should start at the factory gate rather than at the port of loading.
In practice the decision comes down to three numbers: unit cost, freight per unit and the realistic sell through rate for Nex.
Declared value needs to match the commercial invoice or claims are reduced proportionally.

Commercial terms
Freight terms should be named explicitly, because an unclear incoterm is the fastest way to lose a relationship.
Lead times are a function of component availability as much as factory capacity, so buffers should reflect both.

| Carton (97 units) | Tier 1 | 14-21 days |
| Pallet (1801 units) | Tier 2 | 30-45 days |
| Container (12496 units) | Tier 3 | 30-45 days |

Yes, mixing models and flavours within a carton or pallet is common and usually helps first time buyers test demand.
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.
