How buying from overseas works

  1. Tell us what you need. Send us a quote request and your shipping address and we’ll take it from there. Export shipping is priced for each order, so we’ll quote you for the equipment and the delivery.
  2. See it before you buy. We’ll send photos and videos of your equipment working, or demo it on a video call.
  3. We test it. Before anything leaves our warehouse, our in-house team inspects, cleans and tests it, and provides service reports where needed.
  4. We pack it to travel. Sensitive instruments are cushioned and stabilised in strong, custom-built wooden crates or industrial packaging, with moisture-resistant materials.
  5. We ship it your way. By air freight, sea freight or courier, under EXW, FOB or DAP terms, or your own courier can collect from us. Your order will be fully insured, and we’ll send tracking and shipping updates.

Paperwork and customs

We take care of the export paperwork. Every international shipment includes the documents it needs, such as a commercial invoice, packing list and certificate of origin, plus CE compliance or condition reports where they apply. Our team has experience with customs in dozens of countries, which helps keep delays and extra charges to a minimum.
