Why currency and fx exposure matters on the Starre Plus

Checklist

• Check carton quantities against the commercial invoice line by line.
• Request batch photographs and a packing list prior to shipment.
• Agree in advance who pays for return freight on a defect claim.
• Confirm the exact configuration in writing before the deposit is paid.
• Log sell through by account for the first eight weeks.
• Keep certificates current and filed against the exact model name.

Commercial terms

Volume commitments work best when they are structured as a rolling target rather than a single fixed number.

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

Frequently asked questions

For established configurations production typically runs two to four weeks, with transit on top depending on the chosen method.
