Empty Chassis vs Phones-Included Orders
Empty chassis keeps you flexible with BYO devices; phones-included speeds up turn-key pilots.
**Empty chassis / motherboard-only:**
- You supply phones or boards matching quoted slot layout
- Often faster customs description (hardware accessory)
- Lower unit price; you manage device procurement locally
**Phones or boards on quote:**
- Models and counts locked on proforma
- Longer lead time for device sourcing and burn-in
- Packing list shows device + chassis lines for invoice
**Customs note:**
Mixed shipments affect declared value and HS codes — provide forwarder guidance when you know it.
**Hybrid phased:**
Common for large projects: chassis sea freight first, devices air later. State phased plan on RFQ.
