Commercial terms
Volume commitments work best when they are structured as a rolling target rather than a single fixed number.
Commercial terms are usually agreed in three parts: a deposit on confirmation, a balance before shipment and a stated validity window.
| Volume tier | Indicative unit level | Lead time |
|---|---|---|
| Carton (85 units) | Tier 1 | 7-12 days |
| Pallet (1486 units) | Tier 2 | 7-12 days |
| Container (9637 units) | Tier 3 | 14-21 days |
Frequently asked questions
How should used Autopod 5 units be disposed of?
Through designated battery or electronics collection points, never in general household waste.
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?
