Precision equipment: match the model first.
When an instrument manufacturer asks for delivery to a US warehouse but sends only an invoice for “testing equipment” and crate dimensions, the missing importer arrangement is still part of the review.
We would match the nameplate, manual, main unit and accessories to the invoice and packing list. Any model or quantity mismatch goes back to the factory for clarification; the buyer confirms the importer and document contact.
If packing is not final, we would ask the factory to confirm orientation, shock protection, usable lift points and unpacking. The warehouse then confirms its appointment, unloading equipment and access limits—not simply its address.

- Fields to check
- Main-unit model, accessories and quantities, use, the basis for the declared value and packing photos, with the source document for each item.
- What triggers a recheck
- The invoice does not match the nameplate, the importer is unclear, or the warehouse has not confirmed unloading. These remain open conditions.
- Next handoff
- The factory resolves product and packing gaps; the buyer confirms import contacts; the warehouse confirms booking and unloading before the written plan is finalized.
