Separate sample, trial and repeat MOQ
Ask whether minimums change between evaluation samples, the first commercial order and steady replenishment. Confirm mixed-model or packaging constraints.
Break lead time into stages
- Specification and document confirmation
- Material and production queue
- Inspection and corrective action window
- Document and export preparation
- Transit, customs and local release
Model landed continuity
Include inspection, packaging changes, freight, insurance, duties, banking, local regulatory work and buffer stock where applicable. Use comparable assumptions across suppliers.
Negotiate the reorder system
Stable forecasts, order windows, approved alternates, change notification and consolidated shipments can matter more than a small first-order discount.
Turn the checklist into a controlled sourcing inquiry.
