MARGIN NOTE / CHOOSING A MARKET Lead times above are typical door-to-door ranges, not promises — your quotation carries the committed dates. Rule of thumb: China and Vietnam win on price and breadth; Turkey and the UAE win on speed to Lagos; Germany, Japan and the UK win when precision and longevity are the priority. Often the right answer is a split order — and we will show you the numbers for each option.
