Shipping and packing

Diamond inserts are small and high in value. Small orders normally travel by international air courier, larger orders by air freight or road. Each insert is packed in its own protective case, then in an outer carton with void fill. Shipments are insured at invoice value where the Incoterm provides for it.

Carriers and transit times: [LIST CARRIERS AND TYPICAL TRANSIT TIMES BY DESTINATION].

Shipping documents

Each shipment normally includes:

Commercial invoice
Packing list
Air waybill or bill of lading
Certificate of origin, where required
Manufacturer's datasheet and certificate of conformity, where available

Tell us in the enquiry if your customs office needs other documents.

Customs and import duty

Carbide-based inserts with a diamond tip are commonly declared under tariff heading 8209 (plates, sticks and tips for tools). Other diamond tools may fall under different headings. Confirm the code and the duty rate with your customs broker, because classification depends on the exact product and the importing country.

Import licences, sanctions rules and export controls that apply to your route are the responsibility of each party under its own law. [ADD ANY RESTRICTIONS THAT APPLY TO YOUR TRADE LANE.]

Inspection and claims

Check the goods against the packing list on arrival. Report transit damage or shortages within [X] days of delivery, with photographs of the packaging and the product. Keep all packaging until the claim is settled.

Warranty and returns

Warranty: [TERMS, COVERING MANUFACTURING DEFECTS, SUBJECT TO USE WITHIN THE MANUFACTURER'S RECOMMENDED CONDITIONS]. Returns: [CONDITIONS, TIME LIMIT AND WHO PAYS FOR RETURN FREIGHT]. Normal wear, impact damage and use on unsuitable materials such as steel are not covered.
