Checklist

• Confirm the exact configuration in writing before the deposit is paid.
• Keep certificates current and filed against the exact model name.
• Verify that artwork matches the approved compliance template.
• Check carton quantities against the commercial invoice line by line.
• Retain one sealed sample carton from every batch for reference.
• Log sell through by account for the first eight weeks.

Commercial terms

Commercial terms are usually agreed in three parts: a deposit on confirmation, a balance before shipment and a stated validity window.

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

Frequently asked questions

Is freight insurance worth it for Autopod orders?

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

What happens if a batch fails inspection?

The agreed procedure normally covers replacement of affected units or credit against the next order, documented before shipment.

Can packaging be adjusted for our market?

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

Is documentation provided for customs?

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

Final word

Start with one change, measure it over a quarter, then decide whether it deserves to become policy.
