What should Colombian fleet operators confirm first when handling PDI fees in quote normalization?

Updated 2026-08-31By Starvia Automotive

Short Answer

PDI fee guidance on evidence trails, review roles, and contract or local-rule boundaries for Colombian fleet operators.

The most commonly missed item in a PDI fee review is reconfirmation after a change. If the entity, vehicle, port, or batch changes after initial materials pass, update the matrix normalized for model, configuration, Incoterms, port, and validity period as well. Reusing the old conclusion can result in identically named quotes covering different delivery scopes. Therefore, after every change, again require all unlisted costs to be marked pending rather than assumed included.
