Commercial terms
Volume commitments work best when they are structured as a rolling target rather than a single fixed number.
Lead times are a function of component availability as much as factory capacity, so buffers should reflect both.
| Volume tier | Indicative unit level | Lead time |
|---|---|---|
| Carton (76 units) | Tier 1 | 7-12 days |
| Pallet (835 units) | Tier 2 | 21-30 days |
| Container (18312 units) | Tier 3 | 14-21 days |

How should a Stark X carton be configured?

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.
