Distributors reviewing their Lux S range usually find that freight insurance and risk cover explains most of the variance in results between accounts.
Documentation is not paperwork for its own sake; on freight insurance and risk cover it is the difference between a clean clearance and a delayed one.
Why freight insurance and risk cover matters on the Lux S
Cover should start at the factory gate rather than at the port of loading.
Keeping a short internal note on freight insurance and risk cover for each SKU pays for itself the first time a dispute arises over the Lux S.
Declared value needs to match the commercial invoice or claims are reduced proportionally.

Payment history is the single most reliable route to better terms, more than total annual volume.
Lead times are a function of component availability as much as factory capacity, so buffers should reflect both.
