There are a few special requirements:

• On all international orders, we are required by law to obtain an End User Declaration (EUD). This document includes a few simple questions about the end user and application and must be completed before we can ship orders.
• Beyond filling out a quote, international orders typically involve banking fees and transfers, monetary conversions, local taxes, and shipping through customs. Local Alicat representatives are often the best resource for handling these additional complications. Find out if you have an Alicat representative near you.
• Items being returned for service should be sent under the 9801.10.0000 tariff code and the attached paperwork should be filled out and sent with the shipment. This allows for the items to be processed as a temporary duty free (or minimal duty fees) shipment, as the item has previously been shipped and taxed.

Similar to placing an order for a new device, starting a service order begins by contacting Alicat. Please let us know what problems are occurring and what troubleshooting or repairs have been done already to help speed up the service process. Once we know what service or services you need, from a basic evaluation or recalibration to more in depth reconfiguration or repair, we’ll get you a quote on the service, including current lead time for services.
