Checklist

• Retain one sealed sample carton from every batch for reference.
• Review the reorder point after one full selling cycle.
• Verify that artwork matches the approved compliance template.
• Record the arrival condition with photographs on the day of delivery.
• Log sell through by account for the first eight weeks.
• Request batch photographs and a packing list prior to shipment.

Commercial terms

Payment history is the single most reliable route to better terms, more than total annual volume.

Freight terms should be named explicitly, because an unclear incoterm is the fastest way to lose a relationship.

Frequently asked questions

Is freight insurance worth it for Max X orders?

For container level orders it is; the premium is small relative to the exposure from loss, theft or water damage.

Is documentation provided for customs?

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

Can several models be mixed in one shipment?

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

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.
