Checklist

• Review the reorder point after one full selling cycle.
• Verify that artwork matches the approved compliance template.
• Check carton quantities against the commercial invoice line by line.
• Agree in advance who pays for return freight on a defect claim.
• Record the arrival condition with photographs on the day of delivery.
• Log sell through by account for the first eight weeks.

Commercial terms

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

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

Frequently asked questions

Is freight insurance worth it for Elite GT 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.

Do you support long term supply agreements?

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

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

None of this is complicated, but it does need to be written down and reviewed on a schedule.
