05Transfer of risk and transport liability
The risk of accidental loss or accidental deterioration of the goods passes to the customer upon handover to the carrier, freight forwarder or other person designated to carry out the shipment (Section 447 BGB, German Civil Code). This applies regardless of whether shipment is made from the place of performance or who bears the freight costs.
We strongly recommend inspecting the goods immediately upon receipt for transport damage and noting any damage directly on the consignment note or delivery slip. Obvious defects must be reported in writing within 3 business days of receipt, concealed defects without delay after discovery and no later than 3 business days after discovery.
Further details are governed by our General Terms and Conditions.

Parcels over 20 kg receive an additional label. Please ensure that appropriate handling equipment is available at the receiving location for heavy parcels.
07Customs and international delivery
For deliveries outside the EU, additional import duties, import VAT and customs fees may apply for the recipient. These are determined by the regulations of the destination country and are borne by the recipient. A1-ESD Equipment GmbH is neither the debtor of nor responsible for any import charges in the recipient's country.
We are happy to assist with export documentation (commercial invoices, certificates of origin, EUR.1 movement certificates). For enquiries please contact shop@fluidics-equipment.com.
08Export control and sanctions reservation
The delivery of goods and the provision of services are subject to the proviso that fulfilment is not restricted by any national or international regulations, in particular export control provisions, embargoes or other sanctions. This proviso also applies to the validity of an offer and an order confirmation.
The customer is obligated to provide in a timely manner all information regarding the end use, including the intended end-use purpose and the identity of the actual end user.
Delays resulting from export control reviews or governmental approval procedures shall suspend agreed delivery periods and shall not constitute a delay in delivery.
If required governmental approvals are not granted, or if the contract cannot be fulfilled at the time of delivery due to these regulations, the affected portion of the contract shall be deemed not to have been concluded. Claims for damages by the customer are excluded in this case, and likewise if performance is delayed due to these impediments.
Should the customer intend to resell, re-export or otherwise transfer the goods, the customer is obligated to independently and in good time verify whether restrictions under applicable export control law apply (in particular the EU Dual-Use Regulation (EU) 2021/821, the German Foreign Trade and Payments Act/AWG and the Foreign Trade and Payments Ordinance/AWV) and to obtain any required authorisations. Restrictions may apply not only to embargoed countries but, depending on the classification and final destination, also to resale within the country.
Pursuant to Art. 12g of Regulation (EU) No. 833/2014, we are obligated for certain goods to contractually prohibit re-export to Russia or Belarus, or use in Russia or Belarus. This obligation will, where applicable, be addressed separately in the order confirmation or purchase agreement.
