Frequently asked questions
How much shelf space should Meta get?

Commercial invoice, packing list and the relevant certificates are supplied; the importer's broker handles the declaration.
How quickly can a repeat order be produced?
For established configurations production typically runs two to four weeks, with transit on top depending on the chosen method.
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.
Final word
The buyers who do this well are not luckier; they are simply more consistent about the basics.
