Commercial terms

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

Commercial terms are usually agreed in three parts: a deposit on confirmation, a balance before shipment and a stated validity window.

Volume tier	Indicative unit level	Lead time
Carton (132 units)	Tier 1	30-45 days
Pallet (1429 units)	Tier 2	30-45 days
Container (7877 units)	Tier 3	7-12 days

All figures above are indicative working ranges used for planning. Final specification and commercial terms are confirmed in writing before any deposit.

Is documentation provided for customs?

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