Trade terms used on this page: DAP means the buyer pays destination import duties and taxes; DDP means the quoted price includes the clearance, duties and taxes that we arrange; FOB means our responsibility ends at the named airport or port and the buyer arranges and pays the onward costs. Tax-related wording on this page always describes a specific trade term and is not an unconditional tax-inclusive promise.

7. Transit Insurance
Shipments sent through our cooperating forwarder and shipping-agent network include transit insurance by default, covering loss or damage that occurs in transit before delivery.
8. Damage or Loss in Transit
If a shipment arrives damaged, or a package is lost, or an item is wrong or missing, this is not handled as an ordinary return. Please report it within 72 hours of delivery and follow our Shipping Damage & Claims page, which explains the evidence to send and the available remedies — a replacement part with its shipping, and, where a replacement is not reasonably available, a refund of the product price plus the original standard shipping charge we actually collected. The 72-hour window is a shipping-evidence window and does not limit any non-waivable statutory right or a valid warranty claim.
