C)   The manufacturing of samples

Our manufacturing range is very flexible and therefore, we can offer a great number of new designs also thanks to the rapidity of execution - we start manufacturing the samples right after the preliminary talks with the client. The samples, regardless of their number and value, will be billed.

 

 

D)   Payment condition

D.1.) We work with 100% confirmed irrevocable letter of credit, payable 100% at sight, upon the first presentation of the required documents in Romania, open in favor of COMAN DESIGN, at ?Ion Tiriac? Commercial Bank, Buzau Branch.

Should we agree on using this payment condition, the instructions for opening the letter of credit will be sent separately.

D.2.) We also work with bank transfer as follows: 30% in advance, when an order is placed, and 70% at delivery. The money will be transferred to the COMAN DESIGN account, open at the ?Ion Tiriac? Commercial Bank, Buzau Branch, as shown in the Proforma Invoice.

 

E)    Transport and delivery terms

The delivery term we generally use is EX WORKS but we can hire an adequate means of transport to deliver the goods where the client requires. Customs duties in Romania, as well as the drawing of the necessary documents are in COMAN DESIGN?s charge.

E.1.) With the Art Nouveau articles (see B2), we use the airplane because the transportation cost/article does not influence to a great extent the final price of the item. In this case the delivery term is FCA Otopeni, the transport from Buzau to the Otopeni Airport being in COMAN DESIGN?s charge.

We can get transport quotations from several companies and let the client choose the one that suits him best.

E.2.) Articles listed at B1, B3, B4, B5, B6, B7 are usually delivered by truck or by container (by sea); given that this kind of items are ordered in big quantities, the volume is bigger and, therefore, the plane is not an adequate means of transport.

Delivery term: EX WORKS.

In this case too, we will try to find the most advantageous transporter with respect to both price and delivery term.

F.1.) When it comes to the Art Nouveau articles (see B2), we can export up to 1300 items/month, different sizes.
