A fixed charge will be applied to cover packing, handling, carriage and insurance from Royston, UK; local charges/duties may be charged directly to the Customer by the carrier in addition to the AGI fixed charge.

27. Where special tests involve handling or any form of processing of the Customer’s materials or components, then the Customer shall supply representative samples of the materials or components in suitable quantities free of charge.
