Checklist

Check carton quantities against the commercial invoice line by line.
Request batch photographs and a packing list prior to shipment.
Retain one sealed sample carton from every batch for reference.
Agree in advance who pays for return freight on a defect claim.
Review the reorder point after one full selling cycle.
Verify that artwork matches the approved compliance template.

Pallet (1075 units)	Tier 2	7-12 days
