Checklist

• Agree in advance who pays for return freight on a defect claim.
• Record the arrival condition with photographs on the day of delivery.
• Keep certificates current and filed against the exact model name.
• Log sell through by account for the first eight weeks.
• Retain one sealed sample carton from every batch for reference.
• Verify that artwork matches the approved compliance template.

Commercial terms

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

Freight terms should be named explicitly, because an unclear incoterm is the fastest way to lose a relationship.
