  • How do you document verbal concessions in email?

We added a second inspector and the defect rate dropped noticeably.

Timeline slipped once, but proactive updates from the supplier made it manageable.

If customs holds the entry, respond within 24h with the revised invoice.

We pushed back on the MOQ and the supplier offered a split batch.

We also request carton drop tests and keep photos in our QMS folder.

Our QC checklist is based on AQL 2.5 with a tightened level for critical dimensions.
