- Verify that artwork matches the approved compliance template.

- Check carton quantities against the commercial invoice line by line.
- Record the arrival condition with photographs on the day of delivery.

Commercial terms
Commercial terms are usually agreed in three parts: a deposit on confirmation, a balance before shipment and a stated validity window.
Lead times are a function of component availability as much as factory capacity, so buffers should reflect both.

|---|---|---|
| Carton (131 units) | Tier 1 | 14-21 days |
| Pallet (1931 units) | Tier 2 | 30-45 days |
| Container (18661 units) | Tier 3 | 14-21 days |
