Fees and What Is Included

Check the current confirmed fee

The secure entry service displays the current fee for the defined product entry, the applicable tax treatment and the currency before payment is confirmed. A copied price, earlier invoice or third-party listing is not the current fee authority.

What the ordinary product entry includes

The confirmed entry fee includes the applicable defined pathway for one accepted assessed product:

  • entry and eligibility processing;
  • classification and method assignment;
  • sample-quantity and shipment instruction;
  • receipt and sample-control processing;
  • blind initial assessment;
  • candidate calculation and confirmed progression where supported;
  • bounded professional confirmation;
  • a defined result communication;
  • a product comment after every completed first assessment;
  • the applicable public-result and award resources where a star is authorized.

The fee does not purchase a star or guarantee progression beyond the initial panel.

Costs outside the ordinary entry

Unless the secure service explicitly states otherwise, the entrant remains responsible for product manufacture, packing, transport, insurance, customs, duties, taxes, return requirements and any external service used to deliver the sample.

An optional or separately confirmed service is identified before purchase. It is not silently added to the ordinary result and does not influence the star decision.

Payment and confirmation

An entry is confirmed only when the secure account shows acceptance and the applicable payment status. A saved form, pending transfer, failed payment or unverified receipt does not reserve a place.

The receipt or invoice identifies the paid service. Keep it with the entry record; do not place it in the sample shipment unless instructed.

Cancellation, rejection and refund handling

The applicable entry terms govern cancellation and refund. Eligibility rejection, entrant withdrawal, missed shipment, refused delivery, procedural reassessment and service cancellation are different states and may have different consequences.

Do not assume that disagreement with a valid taste result creates a refund entitlement. Use the review process for a supported process, calculation, data, scope, comment or publication issue.

A transparent purchase boundary

Payment supports the operation of a defined assessment service. It does not buy favourable publicity, access to individual assessors, the right to change a comment, a population survey, comparative testing or a company-wide endorsement.

Review the current fee, inclusions and applicable entry terms before completing the secure action.
