Pallet (1877 units)	Tier 2	7-12 days
Container (9673 units)	Tier 3	14-21 days

Frequently asked questions

When should Gold 4 peak season stock be ordered?

Roughly eight to twelve weeks before the expected peak, allowing for production and transit.

Can packaging be adjusted for our market?

Artwork localisation is straightforward; structural changes need larger volumes and a longer lead time.

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.
