In practice the decision comes down to three numbers: unit cost, freight per unit and the realistic sell through rate for Box 2.

Why import duties and customs matters on the Box 2

Classification codes differ between devices and liquids in many markets.

Freight consolidation changes the answer to import duties and customs at container scale, which is why small and large buyers reach different conclusions.

Incorrect declarations are the most common cause of clearance delay.

Practical notes for buyers

Cash flow is the quiet constraint behind import duties and customs: the cheapest option is rarely the one that frees the most working capital.

The most common mistake is optimising for the first order instead of the fourth, which is where Box 2 economics actually settle.

Checklist

Keep certificates current and filed against the exact model name.
Check carton quantities against the commercial invoice line by line.
Review the reorder point after one full selling cycle.
Agree in advance who pays for return freight on a defect claim.
Request batch photographs and a packing list prior to shipment.
Log sell through by account for the first eight weeks.

Currency movement over a ninety day cycle can outweigh the difference between two competing quotations.
