Order preparation
Product availability, supplier approval, packing requirements, and readiness for loading.

Route, carrier schedule, sailing availability, and the proposed transit window.

Clear terms.
Fewer assumptions.

Share your destination port or receiving ZIP code. Available shipping arrangements and the point of delivery will be confirmed in the proposal.

These responsibilities must be assigned to the designated parties. The customs importer of record, FSVP importer, and facility’s US registration agent are distinct roles.
Are freight and arrival charges included?
That depends on the agreed delivery term. The proposal should identify included and excluded charges, including freight, insurance, port costs, and any inland delivery.
How are delays or quality concerns handled?
Agree on order contacts, communication milestones, and an escalation process before shipment, including what records are required to review a concern.
