Freight consolidation changes the answer to currency and fx exposure at container scale, which is why small and large buyers reach different conclusions.
Why currency and fx exposure matters on the Max 2
Quotations are normally held in a single currency for a stated validity window.
Cash flow is the quiet constraint behind currency and fx exposure: the cheapest option is rarely the one that frees the most working capital.
Longer production runs carry more exposure than short repeat orders.

Checklist
- Check carton quantities against the commercial invoice line by line.
- Agree in advance who pays for return freight on a defect claim.

- Request batch photographs and a packing list prior to shipment.
- Keep certificates current and filed against the exact model name.

Commercial terms
Payment history is the single most reliable route to better terms, more than total annual volume.
Lead times are a function of component availability as much as factory capacity, so buffers should reflect both.
| Volume tier | Indicative unit level | Lead time |
|---|---|---|
| Carton (71 units) | Tier 1 | 21-30 days |
| Pallet (638 units) | Tier 2 | 30-45 days |
| Container (6713 units) | Tier 3 | 7-12 days |
Frequently asked questions
How can Max 2 currency risk be reduced?
Agree a currency and a validity window in writing, and consider hedging only the larger seasonal builds.
Do you support long term supply agreements?
Yes, rolling agreements with defined review points work better for both sides than rigid annual commitments.
Is documentation provided for customs?
Commercial invoice, packing list and the relevant certificates are supplied; the importer's broker handles the declaration.
Can packaging be adjusted for our market?
Artwork localisation is straightforward; structural changes need larger volumes and a longer lead time.
Final word
Start with one change, measure it over a quarter, then decide whether it deserves to become policy.
