GuidesEngagement
A combined engagement starts with sourcing against the brief and continues into air or ocean coordination once the goods, price basis, and route are accepted.
Product, quantity, quality, budget, origin, destination, and date stay on one file.
Shipment is not booked until the supply and the terms are confirmed.
Packing, documents, and carrier booking follow that confirmation.
No supplier is appointed, and the goods must still arrive by a date.
Supply is found for an overseas buyer and then shipped.
Goods are bought abroad and moved to the distributor’s market.
No. Commercial supply terms and shipment terms are confirmed separately, even in one engagement.
A shipment is arranged after the commercial review. If supply is not accepted, booking does not proceed from that review.
