Frequently asked questions
How much shelf space should Zen get?
Enough for a full flavour block; partial ranges confuse customers and slow rotation.
Is documentation provided for customs?
Commercial invoice, packing list and the relevant certificates are supplied; the importer's broker handles the declaration.
Do you support long term supply agreements?
Yes, rolling agreements with defined review points work better for both sides than rigid annual commitments.
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.
Final word
None of this is complicated, but it does need to be written down and reviewed on a schedule.
