Body-parts inventory should align with colors sold and common collision areas, initially covering vulnerable exterior items such as bumpers, lamps, and fenders. Determine initial quantities using repair cases and parts-dealer lead times, and agree on the supplier’s replenishment response. Large items such as doors tie up significant capital and may be ordered as needed rather than stocked in full. Destination-country import eligibility, taxes, registration, and local procedures remain subject to the latest requirements of competent authorities, licensed institutions, and applicable contractual provisions.
