WHEN DEALING WITH WARRANTY CLAIMS

Usually, the company may request for the defective items to be return for warranty repair.

You will need to follow the warranty claim procedures of each seller. Below is an example of the procedures for your reference.

1) Report to the seller your defective items. Providing documents: Purchase order or Invoice, Part number, serial number and fault of item.

2) Fill up any claim forms. You should receive an Return Authorized (RA) number from the seller for your defective return once they approval your warranty claim.

3) Return the defective item stating the RA. Usually freight will be bear by buyer. As freight is not covered under warranty. Provide the shipping & tracking of the return to seller.

4) When seller received the defective item, they will evaluate, repair & return to you.

5) If the item is beyond repair but under warranty, the seller should replace the item or provide alternative if the model is no long in the market.

6) Do take note that if after evaluation the fault is not covered under warranty terms, you will need to pay for the evaluation. A quotation will be given for your decision to proceed with the repairs.

HOW TO ARRANGE A SHIPMENT?

WHEN IMPORTING TO YOUR COUNTRY.

First find out what shipping term is the shipment. Before you decide what to do next. Below is the list of shipping terms for your easy reference.
In here, I’ll provide advice as a BUYER using the commonly used shipping terms. We will look at shipment from USA(Seller) to Singapore(Buyer).


Commonly USED:
EXW (Ex Works)
FOB (Free On Board)
CFR (Cost and Freight)
CIF (Cost, Insurance and Freight)
DDU (Delivered Duty Unpaid)
DDP (Delivered Duty paid)

Not as Common:
FCA (Free Carrier)
FAS (Free Alongside Ship)
CPT (Carriage Paid To)
CIP (Carriage and Insurance Paid To)
DAF (Delivered At Frontier)
DES (Delivered Ex Ship)
DEQ (Delivered Ex Quay, [Duty Paid])

For the details, please click here:
Shipping Terms or Incoterms

A) When importing under EXW (Ex Works)
In this case, you will need to arrange with your forwarder advising them the place of collection. (Seller’s warehouse) You need to pay for all cost involved to bring this shipment to your warehouse/destination.
~~~ =^.^= ~~~
What you need to pay would be:
i) Trucking pickup cost to USA Port of export
ii) Export duties & Taxes (Example: export permit, export license
iii) Arrange your Carrier & bear the freight charges via air/sea
iv) Insurance coverage(if required)
v) Import duties & taxes. (Example: import permit, GST)
vi) Delivery charges from the port to warehouse.

B) When importing under FOB (Free On Board)
With this term, you can liaise with the seller to delivery to your appointed port of export. Example: FOB HOUSTON. Talk to your forwarder/freight carrier for the best location beforehand.
What you need to pay would be:
i) Export duties & Taxes (Example: export permit, export license
ii) Arrange your Carrier & bear the freight charges via air/sea
iii) Insurance coverage(if required)
iv) Import duties & taxes. (Example: import permit, GST)
v) Delivery charges from the port to warehouse.

C) When importing under CFR (Cost and Freight)
This term makes your life much easier. You will need to have the seller send you the shipping documents & the Bill of Lading(via Sea) or Air Way Bill (Via Air). With the documents, you will be able to purchase your insurance, track the shipment and arrange for clearance when it arrives. Usually, the Seller’s freight forwarder will provide you a notice of arrival(via fax), so that you can engage them to clear your shipment or arrange your own forwarder.
What you need to pay would be:
i) Insurance coverage(if required)
ii) Import duties & taxes. (Example: import permit, GST)
iii) Delivery charges from the port to warehouse.

D) When importing under CIF (Cost, Insurance and Freight)
You will act the same as CFR, except that the insurance is covered by Seller.


E) When importing under DDU (Delivered Duty Unpaid)
With this, you can get lazy. The seller arranged everything, the shipment is delivered to your doorstep. (warehouse/destination)All you need to do is pay the freight forwarder the import taxes. In Singapore, it would be the GST.


F) When importing under DDP (Delivered Duty paid)
Do I need to say more, the term is already self-explanatory. Basically, they don’t need you anymore. This is the same as DDU, except you don’t even need to pay for the import taxes.
