Checklist

• Keep certificates current and filed against the exact model name.
• Check carton quantities against the commercial invoice line by line.
• Request batch photographs and a packing list prior to shipment.
• Record the arrival condition with photographs on the day of delivery.
• Review the reorder point after one full selling cycle.
• Log sell through by account for the first eight weeks.

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

Frequently asked questions

What shelf life should a Gold 5 order assume?

Is documentation provided for customs?

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

How quickly can a repeat order be produced?

Final word
