Why payment and credit terms matters on the Box 2
Standard practice is a deposit with balance before shipment for new accounts.
Keeping a short internal note on payment and credit terms for each SKU pays for itself the first time a dispute arises over the Box 2.

Commercial terms
Volume commitments work best when they are structured as a rolling target rather than a single fixed number.
Lead times are a function of component availability as much as factory capacity, so buffers should reflect both.
| Volume tier | Indicative unit level | Lead time |
|---|---|---|
| Carton (153 units) | Tier 1 | 30-45 days |
| Pallet (1502 units) | Tier 2 | 21-30 days |
| Container (16266 units) | Tier 3 | 21-30 days |
