Official bank details are provided on the signed Proforma Invoice. We never change bank details after the PI is issued without prior written confirmation. If you receive any email asking for payment to a different account, please verify with us by phone before transferring.
Anti-fraud notice: Our bank account information stays consistent. Please ignore any email claiming to update payment details — this is a common scam pattern.

7. Taxes & Duties
Buyers are responsible for import duties, VAT, and customs clearance in their country unless otherwise agreed (DDP terms). We provide all necessary documentation to support your clearance.
8. Late or Failed Payments
If a payment is delayed, the order’s production schedule may be pushed back. Repeated late payments may result in a switch to 100% upfront payment for future orders. We will always communicate in writing before any change.
