Why freight insurance and risk cover matters on the Meta 2
Cover should start at the factory gate rather than at the port of loading.

Checklist
- Agree in advance who pays for return freight on a defect claim.
- Request batch photographs and a packing list prior to shipment.

Volume commitments work best when they are structured as a rolling target rather than a single fixed number.

|---|---|---|
| Carton (193 units) | Tier 1 | 21-30 days |
| Pallet (1994 units) | Tier 2 | 30-45 days |
| Container (16106 units) | Tier 3 | 30-45 days |
Frequently asked questions
Is freight insurance worth it for Meta 2 orders?
For container level orders it is; the premium is small relative to the exposure from loss, theft or water damage.
Do you support long term supply agreements?
Yes, rolling agreements with defined review points work better for both sides than rigid annual commitments.
Is documentation provided for customs?
Commercial invoice, packing list and the relevant certificates are supplied; the importer's broker handles the declaration.
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.
