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 (116 units) | Tier 1 | 21-30 days |
| Pallet (1178 units) | Tier 2 | 21-30 days |
| Container (19223 units) | Tier 3 | 21-30 days |
Frequently asked questions
What shelf life should a Nex order assume?
Plan around twelve to twenty four months depending on format, and rotate stock accordingly.
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.
Is documentation provided for customs?
Commercial invoice, packing list and the relevant certificates are supplied; the importer's broker handles the declaration.
Final word
A short quarterly review of these points will keep the Nex range healthy without consuming the week.
