Quotation and validity period:
All prices listed are in US dollars. The quote is valid for 30 days from the Quote Date unless otherwise specified by our salesperson. The lead time, if any, is subject to final confirmation at the time of order due to the constant fluctuations in the availability of raw materials and changes in other unforeseeable factors.
Order placing and payment terms:
Orders are confirmed upon the receipt of your official order request. All order requests made by new customers without established credit generally require payment in advance. Customers with established credit can place an order with NET 30 as payment terms.
