First ask the intermediary to explain in writing the battery's current condition, whether it has been replaced or repaired, and what supporting documents are available, such as a UN 38.3 test summary. Match that explanation to the specific vehicle before deciding whether to proceed. Do not advance vehicles for which documentation remains incomplete based only on oral assurances; set a deadline for submission and remove them from the procurement list if it is missed, reducing the risk of rejection at destination for insufficient documentation. State in the transaction terms who must obtain missing documents and who bears the cost, so responsibility is not left unresolved. Local matters such as market access, taxes, registration, and procedures remain subject to the latest requirements of destination-country authorities, licensed institutions, and applicable contract terms.
