What needs to be clarified
The commodity examination compares identifying features, completeness and the available transfer history without starting from an accusation of substitution.
Materials to prepare
- Purchase documents and the set’s contents list
- Photographs of product and accessory markings
- Handover and return records with correspondence
What to compare
- Check which products the accessory’s designations and descriptions relate to.
- Compare the set’s condition and contents at documented transfer stages.
- Separate an established mismatch from assumptions about when or by whom it arose.
Possible outcome of the analysis
A document can provide a comparison table, observed identifying features and answers on completeness within the submitted evidence.
Limits of the conclusions
Examining an item does not itself establish a party’s intent; missing early photographs may limit findings about when the set changed.
