Checklist

• Confirm the exact configuration in writing before the deposit is paid.
• Log sell through by account for the first eight weeks.

• Check carton quantities against the commercial invoice line by line.
• Agree in advance who pays for return freight on a defect claim.

Agreeing a defect handling procedure before the first shipment removes emotion from later conversations.

Frequently asked questions

Is freight insurance worth it for Prime 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 packaging be adjusted for our market?

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

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.

Final word

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