Checklist

• Request batch photographs and a packing list prior to shipment.
• 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.
• Retain one sealed sample carton from every batch for reference.
• Verify that artwork matches the approved compliance template.

Commercial terms

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

Lead times are a function of component availability as much as factory capacity, so buffers should reflect both.

Frequently asked questions

How can Max 5 currency risk be reduced?

Agree a currency and a validity window in writing, and consider hedging only the larger seasonal builds.

Can several models be mixed in one shipment?

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.

Is documentation provided for customs?

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

Final word

A short quarterly review of these points will keep the Max 5 range healthy without consuming the week.
