FROM FIRST QUESTION TO DELIVERY
Cross-border used machinery purchases need clear decisions at every step. This guide supports your checks; it does not replace the order, contract or professional inspection.
Prepare the destination country / port, working conditions, quantity, budget currency, essential configuration and acceptable timing.
Separate must-have requirements from flexible preferences. A model discussion is not confirmation of a specific machine’s availability.
Requirement summary, destination, configuration and preferred contact method.
Check identity, year and hour records, configuration, attachments, visible repair history and condition notes. Request missing information.
Do the images and videos show the same unit? Has availability been checked? A model image or hour meter alone does not establish condition.
Actual unit information, check date and outstanding questions.
Confirm the inspector, scope, costs, timing and how the report identifies the unit. Dismantling and specialist tests need a separate agreement.
A report records a particular scope at a particular time; it does not rule out every fault. Keep findings and limitations in writing.
Agreed inspection scope and costs, images, report and stated limitations.
Check equipment, attachments, inland transport, loading, freight, insurance, destination charges, clearance and import taxes. Identify exclusions and estimates.
Changes to configuration or shipping can change the quote. Agree on validity, any reservation and delivery timing separately.
Dated quotation version, configuration and included / excluded costs.
Verify the beneficiary and banking details through an independently confirmed contact channel. Do not act on a bank-change instruction based only on a single chat or email.
A design page, chat screenshot or unconfirmed quote is not a final contract. Complete appropriate entity, equipment and payment-detail checks first.
Agreed contract, invoice / payment documentation and verification record.
Check import conditions, documents, taxes, port and collection with the destination broker. If insurance is arranged, confirm coverage and the claims process.
Schedules, transit times and port costs can change. An initial estimate is not a guaranteed arrival date, nor proof that every charge or insurance is included.
Loading list and images, commercial invoice, packing list and transport documents; verify any destination-specific requirements.
Record evidence, the discovery date and machine condition before describing the support required. Warranty, parts, technical assistance and costs depend on the agreement.
Used machinery does not imply a worldwide warranty or freedom from faults. Agree on any support scope, timing and costs before purchase.
Receiving checklist, images, issue records and follow-up correspondence.
