Country page versus availability
A translated country page helps a buyer browse in a familiar language and currency. It does not establish that Exsel is registered for tax there, has local inventory, or can import every listed product. Availability must be confirmed for each proposed shipment.
Parties and route
A cross-border quote should identify the contracting seller, ship-from country, destination, delivery term and named place. It should state who arranges freight and who is importer or exporter of record. These roles cannot be assigned accurately by a generic website page alone.
Duties, tax and customs charges
The accepted quote should state which party is expected to pay duties, VAT, sales tax, brokerage and clearance charges, and whether those amounts are estimated or fixed. Tax treatment depends on goods, route and buyer details. Exsel should verify any zero-rating or exemption before invoicing.
Restricted goods and documentation
Electronics, batteries, wireless devices, health products and other categories may require destination-specific labels, approvals or shipping controls. The buyer should state the intended market and use; Exsel should confirm what compliance evidence it can provide. An Icecat or manufacturer description is not a customs, safety or trademark authorisation document.
EORI and business identifiers
Where required, the parties may need importer numbers, tax IDs or other registrations. The quote should identify which documents Exsel needs and how they will be used. A missing or invalid identifier may prevent acceptance or dispatch.
Delays, holds and rejected shipments
If customs holds or rejects goods, Exsel and the buyer should cooperate in obtaining records and deciding whether clearance, return or disposal is possible. Costs and risk must follow the agreed order and applicable law. Neither party should assume a blanket no-refund rule from this draft.
Returns across borders
A cross-border claim may require export and re-import documents, a return authorisation and tax adjustments. The Returns policy and accepted order should identify who arranges carriage and bears its cost for seller error, carrier loss and voluntary returns.
