Checklist

• Log sell through by account for the first eight weeks.
• Request batch photographs and a packing list prior to shipment.
• Retain one sealed sample carton from every batch for reference.
• Agree in advance who pays for return freight on a defect claim.
• Verify that artwork matches the approved compliance template.
• Check carton quantities against the commercial invoice line by line.

Commercial terms

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

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

Frequently asked questions

When should Galex 3 peak season stock be ordered?

Roughly eight to twelve weeks before the expected peak, allowing for production and transit.

Is documentation provided for customs?

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

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

Final word

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