Sample price and scale discounts (MOQ 500/1000/3000) speed up the turnaround. 7) Logistics & IncotermsRoad (TR→DE): ~4–7 days door to door (LCL/FULL), depending on density.

Customs: Classification verification for HS 6303; origin and invoice/packing list compliance are critical.   8) Contract & Payment Staging: 20–30% deposit + balance after production (before BL/CMR).
