• Review the reorder point after one full selling cycle.

Commercial terms

Lead times are a function of component availability as much as factory capacity, so buffers should reflect both.

Agreeing a defect handling procedure before the first shipment removes emotion from later conversations.

Frequently asked questions

How much shelf space should Zeal S get?

Enough for a full flavour block; partial ranges confuse customers and slow rotation.

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.

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.

Final word

None of this is complicated, but it does need to be written down and reviewed on a schedule.
