04 / Fees and regulatory scopeFees and regulatory scope, clearly drawn.
Sampling and development fees pay for the formulation work, sample production and revisions stated within the selected route. They pay for work performed, are not automatically credited against production, and are separate from production costs unless a written quotation explicitly says otherwise.
OUI provides the product and formula documentation specified for each route and supports regulatory readiness once the formula is finalised. Registration filing, third-party laboratory work and additional market-specific requirements are scoped separately unless explicitly included in the quotation.
