International Shipping, Delivery & Logistics Policy

---

AP Export Hub

This Shipping Policy outlines how AP Export Hub manages packaging, shipment, delivery, and related responsibilities for international export orders, including aspects of customs duties.

1. Shipping Scope

AP Export Hub specializes in shipping handcrafted furniture, home décor, and related products to international buyers in multiple countries. All shipments are facilitated through trusted freight forwarding and logistics partners to ensure reliability.

2. Shipping Terms (Incoterms)

All shipments are executed based on mutually agreed international trade terms (Incoterms), such as EXW, FOB, CIF, or others mentioned in the quotation. Responsibility, cost, and risk transfer are governed by the agreed Incoterm, which include terms related to customs duties.

3. Production & Delivery Timeline

Delivery timelines are estimated and depend on factors such as:

- Order size and customization requirements

- Production schedule and workload

- Packaging and inspection process

- Customs clearance procedures

- Carrier and shipping line schedules

Delays caused by external or uncontrollable factors shall not be seen as a breach of agreement.

4. Freight & Logistics

We coordinate with experienced freight forwarding partners to ensure safe and efficient global delivery. Shipping costs may be included in the quotation (CIF basis) or charged separately (FOB/EXW basis), as mutually agreed upon.

5. Customs, Duties & Taxes

Import duties, VAT, customs clearance charges, and other destination-country taxes are the buyer's responsibility unless otherwise agreed in writing.

6. Packaging Standards

All goods are packed using export-grade materials to ensure safety during international shipping and transit, including wooden crates, protective wrapping, and moisture-resistant packaging where necessary.

7. Shipment Tracking

Where applicable, tracking details and shipping documents will be provided to the buyer once the shipment is dispatched.

8. Risk Transfer

The risk of loss or damage transfers to the buyer as per the agreed Incoterms at the point of handover to the carrier or freight forwarder.

9. Transit Damage or Delay

AP Export Hub is not responsible for delays, damages, or losses occurring during transit once goods are handed over to the shipping carrier. Any claims must be directed to the carrier or insurance provider.

10. Force Majeure in Shipping

We are not liable for shipping disruptions caused by events beyond reasonable control, including natural disasters, port congestion, strikes, war, or government restrictions.

AP Export Hub reserves the right to update or modify this Shipping Policy at any time without prior notice. The latest version will always be available on this page.
