Entities, Documentation and Costs:
Offer is free of charge.
Normally a sample / model to the APC Denmark and to the
supplier.
Additionally, full documentation that will be most
manageable,
if it is transferred to APC in computer file format for
example. Excel.
Production / Evidence:
Customer is obligated to deliver a 100% complete
documentation.
PCBA:
- By PCBA claimed a PCB layout (perhaps Gerber Files)
and a BOM (Bill of material) caused to the type and
brand of components.
- A model is not a must, but can provide greater
security against misunderstanding.
- Additionally, there will normally require a test
specification.
PCB:
- For PCB claimed a layout (perhaps Gerber Files.)
- Material specifications and specification of coating.
Plastic / Metal:
- Drawing with tolerances (possibly form and
positionstolerancer)
- Material Description.
Component and documentation changes may cause new offer
delivery and price.
Contacts for the supplier:
- Customer may, upon prior agreement with APC leading
direct technical dialogue with the supplier.
However, requiring a 100% written report, with
copies to the APC and supplier.
- For printed circuit board PCB supplies agreed the
technical basis directly with the supplier.
- There Any commercial contact between customer and
supplier without APC balance.
Prices:
Discount prices are fixed, based on a given price, as
long as the documentation and requirements for delivery
are not altered.
Samples:
For smaller deliveries, it may be that the supplier

sample.
Quality:
APC has its own procurement and technical department of
the Hong Kong / Shenzhen and Shanghai
performing quality audits.
- Most suppliers are ISO9001 and ISO9002 and ISO14001
approved.
-

Customs from Asia:
There is normally no duty on electronics components.
On printed circuit boards have indicated Tax Rate
85.34.009000 - the rate is 0%
Payment:
There must be predicted prepayment of a portion of that
amount until the customer is known by its trading
partners.
Transportation:
The supplier can offer FOB or (for larger or known
customers) delivery in Denmark.
The cheapest of a Danish company is FOB, and even assign
a carrier.
APC has a trade agreement with a carrier which can be
designated.
APC ensure the Danish representation in Hong Kong /
Shenzhen and Shanghai to delivery times are respected.
AIR Fly around. 3 days
Aircraft / Ship approx. 14 days (Hong Kong)
SEA Ship approx. 30 days
Copying / Quality Failures:
Fear of copying / quality failure is unjustified because:
APC Audi If firms and thus have a deep knowledge of the
company.
APC uses only 100% pure subcontractors with 'house'
production.
APC is more customers ¨ from the same supplier. One
might. failure will quickly become known by the APC.
APC uses only suppliers with references that could not
be shown if copying occurred.
In addition, APC's often long-standing knowledge of the
producer of a security.
APC uses almost exclusively companies with ISO 9001 /
9002 approvals.
Limitations:

or equivalent.
- Most providers require a min. order size - normal
greater than U.S. $ 3000
Eg. by Paragraph 100. x U.S. $ 30, Paragraph 500. x U.S.
$ 6, or 1,000 paragraphs. x U.S. $ 3
(Excluded are however samples)
Some suppliers have a MOQ (Minimum order Quantity) eg. >
1000 pieces of low cost components.
Excluded are PCBA where my order size is 100 pieces. If
the contract is over U.S. $ 3000
