Checklist
- Verify that artwork matches the approved compliance template.
- Check carton quantities against the commercial invoice line by line.

- Log sell through by account for the first eight weeks.

Frequently asked questions
What shelf life should a Meta Max order assume?
Plan around twelve to twenty four months depending on format, and rotate stock accordingly.
Can several models be mixed in one shipment?
Yes, mixing models and flavours within a carton or pallet is common and usually helps first time buyers test demand.
Can packaging be adjusted for our market?
Artwork localisation is straightforward; structural changes need larger volumes and a longer lead time.
