Frequently asked questions
Is freight insurance worth it for Gold Mini 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.
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.
Do you support long term supply agreements?
Yes, rolling agreements with defined review points work better for both sides than rigid annual commitments.
Final word
None of this is complicated, but it does need to be written down and reviewed on a schedule.
