How to Avoid Delays When Ordering Horizontal Balers Overseas?
Delays bankrupted an Australian startup. We now embed mutual penalties: $500/day for missed deadlines. Protect both sides.
Prevent delays by demanding fixed-price locked contracts with 3-phase tracking: raw material acquisition photos, assembly milestone videos, and departure certificates from bonded warehouses—plus using 40HQ containers exclusively for faster customs clearance.
Schedules fail without accountability—these tools create transparency.
