Why currency and fx exposure matters on the Box 2

Keeping a short internal note on currency and fx exposure for each SKU pays for itself the first time a dispute arises over the Box 2.

Commercial terms
Agreeing a defect handling procedure before the first shipment removes emotion from later conversations.
Lead times are a function of component availability as much as factory capacity, so buffers should reflect both.

| Carton (157 units) | Tier 1 | 14-21 days |
| Pallet (1719 units) | Tier 2 | 14-21 days |
