Checklist

Review the reorder point after one full selling cycle.
Log sell through by account for the first eight weeks.

Keep certificates current and filed against the exact model name.
Check carton quantities against the commercial invoice line by line.

Payment history is the single most reliable route to better terms, more than total annual volume.

Frequently asked questions

Should Zen 5 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

Start with one change, measure it over a quarter, then decide whether it deserves to become policy.
