| Carton (107 units) | Tier 1 | 7-12 days |
| Pallet (1753 units) | Tier 2 | 21-30 days |
| Container (16075 units) | Tier 3 | 21-30 days |
Frequently asked questions
Should Zen S be discounted to launch?
A short introductory offer works; repeated hardware discounting damages the perceived value of the range.
Can several models be mixed in one shipment?
Yes, mixing models and flavours within a carton or pallet is common and usually helps first time buyers test demand.
Is documentation provided for customs?
Commercial invoice, packing list and the relevant certificates are supplied; the importer's broker handles the declaration.
Can packaging be adjusted for our market?
Artwork localisation is straightforward; structural changes need larger volumes and a longer lead time.
Final word
The buyers who do this well are not luckier; they are simply more consistent about the basics.
