EXPORT HANDOFF PLANNING
Define the Shipping Scope Before Comparing Project Quotations
A custom entrance quotation is incomplete if the buyer cannot see how the unit, loose hardware, accessories, documents and destination responsibilities are handled. Importers, contractors and developers should define the agreed trade term, destination point, package identity and local handoff before production is released.
PROJECT DECISION POINTS
Package identity
Record: Project, door type, crate or package number and contents list
Helps the receiving team match components to the correct opening.
Supply boundary
Record: Door unit, frame, loose hardware, accessories, spares and documents
Makes quotation inclusions and exclusions comparable.
Trade handoff
Record: Agreed term, port or destination point and named buyer responsibility
Clarifies where supplier responsibility ends and local handling begins.
Receiving plan
Record: Customs, inland delivery, unloading, storage, access route and installer readiness
Connects export delivery to the real project site workflow.

FREQUENT PROJECT QUESTIONS
Clarify the handoff before the next decision
What should an entrance-door export packing list identify?
It should identify the project, door type, package number, main unit, loose hardware, accessories, documents and any separately packed items.
Does delivery to a port include customs clearance and installation?
Not automatically. The agreed trade term and quotation should state the destination point and each party responsibility for clearance, inland delivery, unloading and installation.
