OP
We are comparing internal workflows for sample approval vs mass production sign-off.
Community insight helped us avoid a costly Incoterms mistake last quarter.
- Any good templates for supplier scorecards?
- What metrics do you review weekly?
We can share our checklist template if helpful.

Pilot orders really help before committing to a full container.
Consider booking ocean space two weeks earlier during peak season.

Good question. In our case the forwarder clarified it within 48 hours.
Our QC checklist is based on AQL 2.5 with a tightened level for critical dimensions.

Not sure about your HS code, but our broker used a different chapter heading.

We pushed back on the MOQ and the supplier offered a split batch.
For payment terms, we never go 100% upfront with a new vendor.
Tagging you here for visibility.

Following this thread; our experience aligns with yours.
We also request carton drop tests and keep photos in our QMS folder.

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

Agree on documenting everything in the PO appendix.
Timeline slipped once, but proactive updates from the supplier made it manageable.
