Initial Import Orientation

Structured Preliminary Import Review

The Initial Import Orientation is a structured preliminary session designed to define the structural logic of an intended sourcing or import operation.

It is not a product quotation phase and does not involve supplier engagement, document review or regulatory analysis.
Its purpose is to clarify whether the proposed operation can proceed under a coherent and controlled import model.

────────────────────────

Scope of the Orientation

This session focuses on:

• understanding the proposed import configuration

• clarifying operational roles and responsibilities

• identifying structural and contractual considerations

• evaluating feasibility before supplier alignment

• determining whether progression to sourcing coordination is appropriate

The Orientation defines the operational framework before any commercial or regulatory engagement is activated.

Position within the Industrial Index model

Within the Industrial Index coordination structure, the Initial Import Orientation precedes:

• supplier alignment

• structured quotation release

• logistics configuration

• document verification

It provides high-level structural guidance prior to any formal sourcing or advisory engagement.

────────────────────────

Scope limitations

The Initial Import Orientation does not include:

• regulatory compliance assessment

• CE documentation review

• HS code determination

• customs procedure analysis

• contract drafting or legal representation

Where deeper structural or regulatory review is required, a separate structured advisory engagement may be defined according to the complexity of the operation.

Key principle

If it is not written, it does not exist.
If it is not checked, it is a risk.

Industrial Index operates on controlled procedures, not assumptions.
