Quote-confirmed route
Carrier, service level, origin, destination, insurance, export paperwork, and shipping cost are confirmed in the RFQ or order document.

Shipping is confirmed after source location, destination, and export review.
Industrial automation parts do not all move through the same logistics path. Stock location, condition, export rules, customs requirements, and buyer timing all affect the final route.
Lead time is contextual
In-stock, supplier stock, repair exchange, backorder, sourced-to-order, and manual-check items can carry very different timelines.
Customs are not automatic
Duties, taxes, import permits, customs clearance, destination compliance, and brokerage fees may remain the buyer responsibility.
Documentation matters
Destination country, required delivery date, company importer details, and any export/documentation requirements should be provided before approval.
Effective May 27, 2026
This page explains IndGear's shipping review process for B2B RFQs. If a written quote, invoice, or order confirmation states different shipping terms, the written order document controls.
A shipping answer is prepared after the part and destination are known.
The fastest safe route is the one that is confirmed against the actual source path, not guessed from a catalog page.
- 01
Buyer submits SKU, quantity, condition target, destination country, and required delivery date.
- 02
IndGear checks source location, packaging condition, export restrictions, documentation needs, and available carriers.
- 03
The quote states the confirmed shipping method, cost handling, estimated timeline, and buyer responsibilities.
- 04
Shipment proceeds after order approval, payment terms, and any required documents are complete.
Lead-time language must be read with the source status.
A product page or supplier observation can support the RFQ desk, but it should not be treated as a delivery guarantee.
In stock
The item appears available from a reviewed source, but allocation, condition, payment, export, and carrier pickup still require confirmation.
Supplier stock
A supplier or marketplace record may indicate availability. IndGear must confirm the source, price, condition, and shipping path before order approval.
RFQ required
No final route is available until the desk reviews source options, documentation, destination, and buyer constraints.
Backorder or repair exchange
Timeline may depend on supplier allocation, repair queue, exchange-core rules, testing, and documentation readiness.
International delivery depends on importability and paperwork.
Industrial controls, electronics, drives, sensors, safety components, and repair items can require destination-specific checks.
- Buyer may be responsible for import licenses, local product compliance, customs broker instructions, duties, taxes, VAT/GST, storage fees, and clearance delays unless the written quote states otherwise.
- IndGear may request importer details, HS code review, end-use context, restricted-party screening, export document requirements, or destination restrictions before approval.
- Delivery estimates can change because of customs inspection, carrier routing, weather, documentation errors, destination restrictions, force majeure, or buyer delays.
- Restricted destinations, sanctioned parties, prohibited end use, incomplete documentation, or unresolved export risk may cause a quote or shipment to be declined.
Send the details that prevent shipping surprises.
The best RFQ contains enough logistics context for the desk to quote the real route instead of a generic estimate.
Destination
Country, city, postal code, importer name, delivery address type, and whether a broker or freight forwarder will be used.
Timing
Required delivery date, production-down urgency, acceptable service levels, and whether partial shipment is acceptable.
Documents
Commercial invoice requirements, packing list notes, certificate or test-document needs, carrier account, export restrictions, and customs broker instructions.
Handling
Packaging constraints, heavy or fragile item notes, serial-number requirements, insurance needs, and whether opened packaging is acceptable.
