  • Packaging units and quantities use the same basis on both sides.
  • Destination, delivery terms and timing are stated for this order.

What if the grade is not settled yet?

Send the equipment model, manual wording and current lubricant. Keep that technical selection question separate from a confirmed purchase quantity.

Can I request several product families?

Yes. Use one line per product, grade and packaging option. Avoid combining different grades into one total quantity.

Send the product model, grade, pack, quantity and destination. The applicable minimum, availability and lead time need to be confirmed for that proposed order.

Can I request samples before ordering?

Tell us which product and grade you want to evaluate, the sample purpose and destination. Confirm sample availability, size, any charges and shipping terms before an arrangement is made.

What should I check before dispatch?

Match the agreed item and pack to the order. Confirm container or carton counts, destination, packing and marking requirements, shipment documents and the dispatch arrangement.

What should our receiving team keep?

Keep the order and packing documents with the product labels and any batch identification. Check the delivered product, grade, pack and quantity; record damaged packs or mismatched labels for review before use.
