Wholesale demand in this category is driven less by novelty than by consistency, and freight insurance and risk cover is where that consistency is measured.
Keeping a short internal note on freight insurance and risk cover for each SKU pays for itself the first time a dispute arises over the Box 3.
Why freight insurance and risk cover matters on the Box 3
Cover should start at the factory gate rather than at the port of loading.
Shops that receive a short briefing on freight insurance and risk cover convert noticeably better than shops that only receive stock.

Commercial terms

Freight terms should be named explicitly, because an unclear incoterm is the fastest way to lose a relationship.
