Every charge, line by line
| charge | on | at | amount |
|---|---|---|---|
| produce | 96 cartons | AUD 25.50 per carton | AUD 2,448.00 |
| international freight | 1,000 kg | AUD 1.80 per kg gross | AUD 1,800.00 |
| minimum floors which cells | not in this estimate: this row carries a 1,000.00 kg minimum and the consignment is 960.00 kg gross. The freight is floored and the handling, terminal and screening cells are billed on the weight that flies. The card does not say which is right; the evidence for it was an invoice and has been withdrawn. One question for Liam Fraser, and the figures above stand until he answers. | ||
| other DAFF charges billed to us direct, such as inspection fees | not in this estimate: DAFF inspection fees and any other DAFF charge billed to Carter and Associates direct are not in this estimate, and no DAFF permit or tonnage is priced in it either. Seven DAFF - AQIS bills in the ledger (9 May to 25 Aug 2026, AUD 40.00 to AUD 1,508.92), none carrying a trade reference and none linked to a trade, and their absence from every Vision invoice read. Each arrives as its own bill and is met at reconciliation, against the actual cost. | ||
| electronic processing fee | not in this estimate: the forwarder bills AUD 15.00 for this on every air invoice read and the rate sheet carries it on no tab, so it is NOT in this estimate: the sheet is the only source of a price. It arrives on his bill and is met at reconciliation. AUD 15.00 on Vision invoices 00241784, 00241794, 00241798, 00241800, 00241801, 00242236 and 00242237, on two lanes and across loads from 1,242 kg to 4,524 kg gross. It is on no tab of the rate card. | ||

How it has changed
Where it went
This quote has not gone to anybody. Nothing is recorded as sent, which is a different thing from sent and unanswered.
For an offer you sent yourself, by WhatsApp, phone, email or in person. It asks who, how and when, one at a time.
Proforma
For a buyer who pays before shipment: the lines, the incoterm and place, the total and our payment instructions, payable in full before shipment, as a PDF in the buyer's Drive folder. Nothing is sent.
What was taken from it
Nobody has taken an order off this quote.
This opens the order page filled in from this quote; nothing is saved yet. There you set the buyer, how they ordered, the quantity and anything that differs. Saving it opens the trade and leaves this quote live for the rest of the market.
Change it
A change keeps the number and takes the next letter, and this revision is kept whole with everyone it went to. A different market is not a change: the lane, the freight and the buyers all differ, so that is a new quote with a new number. This quote is retired; changing it makes a live revision of it.
