Commercial terms
Commercial terms are usually agreed in three parts: a deposit on confirmation, a balance before shipment and a stated validity window.
Lead times are a function of component availability as much as factory capacity, so buffers should reflect both.

|---|---|---|
| Carton (75 units) | Tier 1 | 21-30 days |
| Pallet (1618 units) | Tier 2 | 14-21 days |
| Container (10646 units) | Tier 3 | 7-12 days |
Frequently asked questions
How many Meta 2 samples should we request?
Three to five units per shortlisted configuration is enough to judge consistency.
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.
Do you support long term supply agreements?
Yes, rolling agreements with defined review points work better for both sides than rigid annual commitments.
