Frequently asked questions
Is freight insurance worth it for Box X orders?
For container level orders it is; the premium is small relative to the exposure from loss, theft or water damage.
How quickly can a repeat order be produced?

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.
Do you support long term supply agreements?
Yes, rolling agreements with defined review points work better for both sides than rigid annual commitments.
