Dear Nino,
Good day. I hope you and the Teams are well.
For your information, in order to expedite clearing Chinese customs we have placed a non-medical sticker on your goggle cartons. The vented googles have passed all SGS testing and FRI (final random inspection) as required. This was a China customs clearance only concern. To be sure:
- the protective goggles comply with the WHO recommended standards for COVID-19 use
- the standards are not specific to medical or non-medical use.
- Commander Health Supply is proactively alerting you to these stickers
Kindly confirm your understanding. The Googles are now with DHL and are prepared to airfreight. They will contact you upon arrival.
Thanks,
Richard

Dear Volkan,
My name is Ashley Galloway and I am the operations manager at Commander Health Supply. We are in preparation to air ship the vented goggles that Georgia ordered through the World Bank Procurement Program. DHL, our shipping partner, has requested the following information:
1) Consignee telephone / mobile number. This will be the phone number the shipper will contact when the goods arrive and are ready for delivery.
2) Full street address for delivery including postal code.
I am adding our shipping contacts at DHL to this email in case they require further information beyond these two points. Kindly keep me in copy for any correspondence. Thank you for the assistance.
Best regards,
Ashley Galloway

Dear Volkan,
Thank you for your assistance. In addition to the email sent by Ms. Nino Kvernadze please kindly be noted that we have internal consultations with end users of the goods and based on their recommendation, we prefer to choose the second option and wait for goggles with venting, as it is described in the contract.
In this regard we kindly ask to update us with a new delivery schedule.
Best,
Nino

Dear Nino,
Commander Health Supply company informed us that the goods are ready for air freight to Georgia. I think they are waiting the Government to confirm which option is preferred.

To Giorgi Tsotskolauri, Deputy Minister of Ministry of Internally Displaced Persons from Occupied Territories, Labour, Health and Social Affairs of the country of Georgia:
Dear Mr. Tsotskolauri,
I wanted to update you on the status of your order for 54,000 goggles. The order has been manufactured, passed all SGS inspections, and is ready to ship. Upon final inspection, the goggles we manufactured are not vented. Commander Health’s clients have generally opted to purchase goggles without vents so as to prevent SARS-CoV2 virus particles from entering the eyes, and that is what we produced. However, the product description in the contract is for goggles with “venting to avoid fogging”.
Kindly accept our apology, and we will extend a 10% discount on the order for this discrepancy. ($3.33 CIP to $3.00 CIP)
To recap: Proceed to accept the goggles without vents at the discounted price which are ready to ship or the other option is that we remanufacture the goggles with vents. Please confirm which option you would like to take.
Thank You,
Richard Gossett
Founder/CEO
