Importing laboratory equipment from India is a procurement process that joins two separate control systems: the Indian exporter must prepare export-compliant commercial and customs documents, while the overseas buyer must satisfy the destination country’s import, tax, conformity, licensing, and clearance rules. A reliable purchase therefore starts before the purchase order: verify the manufacturer, freeze the exact equipment specification, agree the delivery term and payment basis, define inspection and packing evidence, and align the document set with the buyer’s customs broker. For electronics teaching and training items, buyers can begin with Jainco Lab’s electronics lab equipment range and then request an itemized RFQ rather than relying on a category-level description.
| How can overseas buyers import laboratory equipment from India? Use a controlled ten-step workflow: define the laboratory requirement; shortlist and verify the Indian supplier; issue an RFQ with item-level specifications; compare the quotation and Incoterm; verify certificates and destination-country requirements; freeze the approved specification/BOQ; agree payment and inspection controls; complete export documents and packing; clear the shipment in the destination country; and perform arrival acceptance before closing the order. The commercial invoice, packing list and India-side shipping bill are core export records, while certificates of origin or product conformity documents are needed only when the trade route, product or buyer requires them. |
Source note: Indian Customs requires an electronic shipping bill for goods exported by vessel or aircraft. CBIC identifies the shipping bill, commercial invoice and packing list among key export records. DGFT operates IEC lookup and electronic Certificate-of-Origin systems. Incoterms 2020 remain ICC’s current rules for allocating delivery tasks, costs and risks.
1. What does “importing lab equipment from India” actually involve?
An international lab-equipment order is not complete when a supplier issues a pro forma invoice. It is complete only when the buyer can trace the requirement from specification to quotation, purchase order, export documentation, packing, transport, customs clearance and acceptance. The main operational risk is mismatch: the seller may quote one technical configuration while the buyer, customs broker or end-user expects another.
Table 1. Six controls that convert a quotation into an auditable import transaction.
| Control layer | Buyer decision | Evidence to retain |
|---|---|---|
| Technical scope | What exactly is being purchased? | Approved BOQ, specification sheet, model/variant, accessory list, manuals/spares list |
| Commercial scope | What is included in the price? | Currency, unit price, taxes if any, export packing, freight, insurance, documentation, validity |
| Delivery scope | Where do cost and risk transfer? | Named Incoterms 2020 rule and precise named place/port |
| Regulatory scope | What is required in India and destination country? | HS classification discussion, export docs, import permits/registrations, conformity evidence where applicable |
| Quality scope | How will conformity be checked? | Sample approval, pre-dispatch checklist, test records, photos/video, third-party inspection if specified |
| Logistics scope | How is cargo packed, marked and handed over? | Packing list, package dimensions/weights, carton/crate marks, transport document |
| Acceptance scope | How will the buyer close the order? | Arrival count, damage report, accessory reconciliation, functional check, non-conformance record |
2. Step-by-step import workflow for overseas buyers
1 — Define the laboratory need. Create an item-level BOQ tied to experiments, curriculum, training outcomes or tender specifications. Do not start with a broad request such as “complete electronics lab” unless the supplier is explicitly asked to propose a BOQ for approval.
2 — Shortlist and verify the supplier. Confirm legal/business identity, physical address, manufacturing/export position, product categories, technical-document capability and a consistent bank beneficiary. For Indian export credentials, ask for the IEC and verify it through DGFT where appropriate.
3 — Issue a controlled RFQ. Specify destination country, nearest port/airport, quantities, voltage/frequency where relevant, required standards or tender clauses, accessories, manuals, spares, warranty expectations, packing, inspection and preferred delivery term.
4 — Normalize quotations. Put all bids on the same commercial basis. A low EXW price is not directly comparable with a CIP or DAP offer because freight, insurance, export clearance, import clearance and risk allocation differ.
5 — Verify product and destination requirements. Check whether the goods require destination-specific conformity marks, importer registration, permits, pre-shipment inspection, restricted-goods checks or specific certificates. The buyer/importer should confirm this with a local customs broker or competent authority.
6 — Freeze the specification. Approve the final BOQ, models/variants, accessories, consumables, spares, plug/voltage requirements, labelling and documentation. Record acceptable substitutes, if any, before production or packing.
7 — Agree payment and inspection gates. Use the commercially agreed banking method. Tie payment milestones, where negotiated, to clear evidence such as order confirmation, approved sample/configuration, packing completion, inspection documents or shipping documents.
8 — Control pre-shipment documents and packing. Reconcile invoice, packing list, package marks, quantities, weights, descriptions and consignee details. Confirm the transport booking and obtain any required certificate of origin or product compliance documentation before dispatch.
9 — Prepare destination clearance before arrival. Send the broker the document pack early. Confirm duty/tax treatment, import licences if any, importer-of-record details, customs valuation, HS classification and delivery instructions in the destination country.
10 — Perform arrival acceptance. Count packages, document visible damage immediately, reconcile quantities/accessories, inspect critical items, retain serial/model details where relevant, record shortages or non-conformities, and close the order only after acceptance evidence is complete.
| Buyer decision ruleDo not release a final purchase order until four things match: (1) item specification, (2) quotation line, (3) delivery term and named place, and (4) document/acceptance requirements. If one of those four remains ambiguous, the order is not procurement-ready. |
3. How do I verify an Indian laboratory-equipment manufacturer before ordering?
Supplier verification should combine public identity checks with transaction-specific evidence. A website can establish the supplier’s claimed history and product range, but it does not replace current legal, banking, certificate and order documentation. For Jainco Lab, the public site identifies Jain Scientific Suppliers at Hargolal Road, Ambala Cantt, states an establishment year of 1982, describes a 15,000 m² manufacturing facility, lists educational/scientific product categories, and presents bulk/OEM and export supply as active business areas. Buyers should still request current supporting documents for the specific order.
Table 2. Supplier verification matrix for overseas buyers.
| Verification item | What to check | Red flag / follow-up |
|---|---|---|
| Business identity | Same legal/trade name, address and contact details across quotation, invoice, website and bank beneficiary | Different beneficiary or unexplained third-party payment route |
| IEC / export identity | Ask for Importer-Exporter Code and verify through DGFT when relevant | IEC not supplied, or firm details do not reconcile |
| Manufacturer capability | Factory/address evidence, product range, model/technical documents, customization or tender support | Only marketplace listings, no technical response, no manufacturing evidence |
| Certificate scope | Certificate holder, standard, scope, issue/expiry status, product relevance | Generic logo on brochure with no certificate number or scope |
| References / shipment experience | Recent institutional/export references where disclosure is permitted; photos or anonymized project evidence | Only unverifiable testimonials or unrelated products |
| Bank details | Beneficiary name aligned with contracted seller; verify changes through a known contact channel | Last-minute bank-change request or personal account |
| Quotation discipline | Line-item specs, accessories, packing, lead-time basis, payment, delivery term, validity | One-line “complete lab” price with no itemization |
| After-sales route | Named contact, warranty process, spare parts, remote support, manuals | No defined warranty/claims pathway |
Source note: Jainco Lab public pages state the business name Jain Scientific Suppliers, Ambala Cantt address, 1982 establishment, 15,000 m² facility, manufacturer/exporter position, international supply, OEM/tender support and multiple quality credentials. These are supplier claims; institutional buyers should request current copies and check certificate scope before relying on them in a tender or compliance file.
4. What should I put in the RFQ before asking for a quotation?
Table 3. RFQ fields that should be fixed before price comparison.
| RFQ field | Minimum detail | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Buyer / consignee | Legal buyer name, country, delivery city, nearest port/airport | Drives quotation, transport and document details |
| Item identity | Generic name + required model/function; avoid brand-only shorthand | Prevents technically different substitutes |
| Quantity | Units / sets / kits per line | Needed for production, packing and freight |
| Technical specification | Range, capacity, accuracy, voltage, frequency, dimensions or other parameters only where relevant | Makes bids technically comparable |
| Accessories | Included leads, probes, adapters, stands, cables, manuals, software, consumables | Avoids incomplete “base unit” quotations |
| Spares | Required spare/consumable list or “supplier to recommend” | Supports lifecycle planning |
| Standards / tender clause | Exact requirement and edition only when buyer/project requires it | Prevents irrelevant certification claims |
| Packing | Individual protection, export cartons/crates, moisture protection if needed, package marks | Determines transport suitability and landed cost |
| Documentation | Invoice, packing list, manuals, test reports, CoO, certificates, tender docs as applicable | Avoids post-production document gaps |
| Inspection | Buyer inspection, third-party inspection, photo/video evidence or sample approval | Defines the acceptance gate |
| Commercial basis | Currency, preferred Incoterm + named place, payment basis, quote validity | Makes landed-cost comparison possible |
| Destination rules | Importer asks supplier to support documents, but buyer confirms local legal requirements | Avoids shifting importer obligations to exporter |
5. Which export and import documents should overseas buyers expect?
The document set should be split into three groups: core commercial/transport documents, India-side export/customs documents, and destination- or product-specific documents. This distinction matters because not every shipment requires every certificate. A Certificate of Origin may be requested for customs, tender or preferential tariff purposes; a product conformity certificate may depend on the product and destination; and importer permits are usually controlled by the destination country, not by Indian Customs.
Table 4. Document-control matrix: core, conditional and destination-specific records.
| Document / record | Typical responsibility | When to expect it | Buyer control |
|---|---|---|---|
| Commercial invoice | Exporter / seller | Core shipment record | Check seller/buyer, description, quantity, value, currency, delivery term and invoice reference. |
| Packing list | Exporter / seller | Core shipment record | Reconcile packages, contents, gross/net weights, marks and dimensions. |
| Shipping bill / bill of export | Indian exporter/customs filing | India-side customs export entry | Ask for shipment/export reference where needed for institutional audit. |
| Bill of lading / airway bill / courier transport document | Carrier / forwarder | Transport-dependent | Check consignee/notify party, package count, routing and freight status. |
| Certificate of Origin | Authorized issuing route / exporter application | When buyer, customs, trade agreement or tender requires it | Confirm whether preferential or non-preferential CoO is needed before shipment. |
| Insurance certificate/policy | Seller or buyer depending contract | When insurance is purchased/required | Match insured value, route, insured party and coverage to agreed delivery basis. |
| Product conformity / test certificate | Manufacturer / lab / notified or competent body as applicable | Product- and destination-specific | Verify standard, scope, model, issuer and validity; do not accept a generic logo as evidence. |
| Import licence / registration | Buyer/importer | Destination-country specific | Confirm before dispatch; the exporter cannot cure a missing importer authorization after arrival. |
| Inspection certificate | Inspection body / buyer / supplier, as agreed | Tender or contract-specific | Define inspection scope and pass/fail criteria before production. |
| Manuals / calibration / test records | Manufacturer / test lab as applicable | Equipment-specific | State language, format and traceability needed in the RFQ. |
Source note: CBIC identifies shipping bill, commercial invoice and packing list as export documents. Customs Act Section 50 requires the exporter to present a shipping bill electronically for vessel/air exports (or bill of export for land exports). DGFT’s electronic CoO platforms support preferential and non-preferential origin certification workflows.
6. How should I compare quotations and Incoterms?
Compare quotations only after placing them on the same delivery basis. Incoterms 2020 allocate delivery tasks, costs and risk between seller and buyer, but they do not replace the sales contract, payment terms, product specification, warranty or ownership clauses. The named place or port is critical. “CIP” or “DAP” without a precise named destination is incomplete procurement language.
Table 5. Incoterms 2020 comparison for procurement discussions (not a substitute for the ICC rules).
| Term (illustrative) | What it changes for the buyer | Use / caution in lab-equipment orders |
|---|---|---|
| EXW — named seller place | Buyer takes on extensive pickup/export logistics; seller makes goods available at named place | Often creates coordination burden for overseas institutional buyers; confirm who handles Indian export formalities. |
| FCA — named place | Seller delivers to buyer-nominated carrier at the agreed point and completes export formalities | Often clearer for multimodal export than EXW when buyer controls freight. |
| CPT — named destination | Seller pays carriage to destination; risk transfers when goods are handed to carrier | Do not assume seller carries risk to destination just because freight is prepaid. |
| CIP — named destination | Like CPT plus seller-arranged insurance under the rule | Check insurance certificate and coverage; risk still transfers before destination. |
| DAP — named destination | Seller bears transport risk to named destination; buyer handles import clearance/duties | Useful only if seller can reliably quote transport to the exact destination. |
| DDP — named destination | Seller assumes maximum delivery/customs obligation including import clearance/duties under the rule | Use cautiously: seller must be legally able to complete destination import formalities. |
| Quotation normalization ruleBuild a landed-cost comparison sheet with separate rows for goods, export packing, inland India logistics, origin charges, international freight, insurance, destination charges, customs broker fees, duty/tax estimates, inland destination delivery, inspection and bank costs. Mark every unquoted cost as “buyer to estimate” instead of treating it as zero. |
7. What technical specifications should be frozen before the purchase order?
For laboratory equipment, “same product name” does not mean “same procurement outcome.” Electronics trainers, power supplies, oscilloscopes, signal generators, glassware, microscopes and general instruments can vary materially by range, accessories, mains input, interfaces, consumables, included experiments and documentation. Freeze the parameters that matter to the intended use, and leave non-critical design choices open only when they do not affect compatibility or acceptance.
Table 6. Specification fields to freeze before comparing or approving models.
| Equipment family | Specification fields to freeze | RFQ note |
|---|---|---|
| Electronics trainers | Experiment list / modules, power input, output ranges where required, patching/accessory set, protection features, manual language | Use project/tender values; do not invent generic ratings. |
| Power supplies | Output channels, voltage/current range, regulation/accuracy where relevant, mains input, connector type, protection | Ask for datasheet and actual offered model. |
| Oscilloscopes | Bandwidth, channels, sample rate / memory if required, probes, mains input, interfaces | Match curriculum/research need; higher spec is not automatically better procurement. |
| Signal generators | Waveforms, frequency range, amplitude/output, modulation functions if needed, accessories | Specify only functions actually needed. |
| Microscopes | Optical configuration, magnification system, illumination, stage, camera/digital interface if any, accessories | Confirm voltage/plug for powered illumination. |
| Glassware | Material grade, capacity, graduation/tolerance class if required, joint/stopper type, packaging unit | Use relevant product standards/tender requirements where specified. |
| Heating / thermal equipment | Working temperature, chamber/plate size, control/display, mains input, safety features | Confirm local mains compatibility and lab ventilation requirements. |
| Measuring instruments | Measurement range, resolution/accuracy, calibration/test evidence, accessories, environmental limits if required | State traceability requirements in the RFQ, not after dispatch. |
8. How do I control packing and pre-shipment inspection?
Packing is part of the product for an export transaction. The buyer should require a package-level reconciliation before dispatch: the item list, quantities, internal protection, carton/crate marks, dimensions, gross/net weights and handling needs should agree with the invoice and packing list. Fragile glassware, sensitive instruments and educational trainers may require different internal protection; a single generic “export packing” statement is not enough for acceptance.
Table 7. Pre-dispatch acceptance checklist for international lab-equipment orders.
| Pre-dispatch check | Evidence | Pass condition |
|---|---|---|
| Approved BOQ vs packed items | Packing worksheet / item photos | Every purchase-order line represented and quantity reconciled. |
| Model / variant | Nameplate or label photos where applicable | Matches approved specification or documented accepted substitute. |
| Accessories / spares | Accessory checklist | Included items match RFQ/quotation. |
| Functional check | Test sheet/video/photo as agreed | Defined critical functions pass. |
| External condition | Photos before packing | No visible damage or missing parts. |
| Internal protection | Packing photos | Movement/impact and surface-contact risks reasonably controlled for transport mode. |
| Package marks | Carton/crate photos | Consignee/project/package number and handling marks match instructions. |
| Weights / dimensions | Final packing list | Actual package data recorded for freight/customs. |
| Document pack | Draft invoice, packing list, certificates where applicable | Names, descriptions, quantities and references reconcile. |
| Seal / handover | Carrier receipt / seal record when used | Custody handoff documented. |
Original proof asset: Import Order Readiness Matrix
Use this matrix as the procurement gate before releasing the final purchase order or shipment. It is intentionally structured around evidence, not supplier promises. For Jainco Lab or any other exporter, the buyer can attach this table to the RFQ and require each row to be marked Confirmed / Not applicable / Pending.
Table 8. Import Order Readiness Matrix — a practical gate for overseas institutional buyers.
| Gate | Buyer question | Required evidence | Status before PO / dispatch |
|---|---|---|---|
| G1 — Identity | Do seller, quotation, bank beneficiary and export identity reconcile? | Business details + IEC/transaction documents as applicable | Confirmed before payment |
| G2 — Technical | Is every line item technically defined? | Approved BOQ + datasheet/specification + accessories | Confirmed before PO |
| G3 — Compliance | Are only relevant certificates/standards being requested? | Current certificate/test evidence with scope/model where applicable | Confirmed before production/dispatch |
| G4 — Commercial | Is price basis complete and comparable? | Currency + unit/total price + packing + freight/insurance + validity | Confirmed before PO |
| G5 — Delivery | Is the Incoterm and named place precise? | e.g. “CIP [named airport/city], Incoterms 2020” | Confirmed before PO |
| G6 — Payment | Are beneficiary and payment milestones controlled? | Contract/PI + verified bank details + agreed milestone evidence | Confirmed before payment |
| G7 — Packing | Is the packing method appropriate and measurable? | Packing spec + package marks + dimensions/weights + photos | Confirmed before dispatch |
| G8 — Documents | Does the exporter-side and importer-side document list match? | Document register approved by buyer/broker | Confirmed before dispatch |
| G9 — Clearance | Can the buyer legally import the goods? | Importer registration/licence/conformity route as destination requires | Confirmed before dispatch |
| G10 — Acceptance | Is there a defined arrival claims procedure? | Count/damage/function checklist + claim notification route | Confirmed before dispatch |
9. Vendor evaluation: score capability, not marketing
Table 9. Example weighted supplier-evaluation framework. Adjust weights to the tender or institution; they are planning assumptions, not a universal standard.
| Evaluation criterion | Suggested weight | What to score |
|---|---|---|
| Technical compliance | 25% | Line-by-line compliance, datasheets, model clarity, accessories, acceptable deviations |
| Documentation & export readiness | 15% | IEC/export capability, quotation discipline, invoice/packing/CoO support, tender documentation |
| Quality / inspection control | 15% | Test evidence, inspection process, sample/approval discipline, non-conformance handling |
| Commercial completeness | 15% | Transparent price basis, validity, payment, packing, freight/insurance and exclusions |
| Manufacturing / supply capability | 10% | Relevant product range, volume capacity, customization and repeatability |
| Packing & logistics | 10% | Export packing method, package data, freight coordination, marking and handover evidence |
| After-sales / spares | 10% | Warranty pathway, technical support, manuals, spares and replacement process |
Source note: The example weights are a procurement planning framework created for this guide. They are not prescribed by DGFT, CBIC, ICC or a specific tender and should be adjusted to the buyer’s own evaluation rules.
10. What should happen when the shipment reaches the destination?
1. Before arrival — Broker receives the invoice, packing list, transport document and any required certificates/permits early enough to review classification, customs value, importer details and delivery instructions.
2. At cargo release — Buyer or broker checks package count and visible condition against the transport record. Record exceptions immediately with photographs and carrier notation where possible.
3. At warehouse/lab — Open against a controlled checklist; reconcile package numbers, item quantities, accessories, manuals and spares.
4. Functional acceptance — Test the agreed critical functions of high-value or powered items using the approved acceptance criteria; do not create new criteria after delivery.
5. Non-conformance — Issue a concise shortage/damage/technical variance report linked to purchase-order lines and evidence. Separate transit damage from specification non-conformance.
6. Closeout — Retain quotation/PI, PO/contract, invoice, packing list, transport record, CoO/certificates if used, inspection evidence, acceptance record, warranty contacts and final claim resolution for audit/reorder use.
Common mistakes overseas buyers should avoid
Mistake 1 — Comparing unlike delivery terms
A supplier quoting EXW and another quoting CIP are not offering the same commercial scope. Normalize freight, insurance, origin/destination charges and risk transfer before ranking price.
Mistake 2 — Asking for every certificate by name
ISO management-system certificates, CE marking, product test reports, calibration records, BIS-related requirements and destination conformity schemes are not interchangeable. Ask only for the evidence that applies to the product, destination or tender.
Mistake 3 — Allowing vague substitutions
“Equivalent model” should have a written equivalence rule: critical specs, accessories, compatibility, documentation and approval route. Otherwise the cheapest post-order substitute may not be acceptable.
Mistake 4 — Treating the commercial invoice as the BOQ
The invoice is a commercial/customs record, not a replacement for the approved technical schedule. Keep the technical BOQ/specification as a controlled contract attachment.
Mistake 5 — Waiting until dispatch to ask the customs broker
Destination-country importer registrations, permits, conformity schemes, HS classification issues or restricted-goods controls can stop a shipment. Resolve the import route before dispatch.
Mistake 6 — Accepting “export packing” without evidence
Require package-level information and photos/checklists for fragile or high-value equipment. Packing quality is measurable through protection method, reconciliation, marks, dimensions, weights and condition evidence.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. How do I find a reliable Indian laboratory equipment manufacturer?
Start with evidence that can be reconciled across the transaction: legal/trade identity, physical address, product capability, item-level technical documents, export identity such as IEC where relevant, consistent bank beneficiary, quotation discipline, inspection process and an after-sales route. A polished website or marketplace listing is useful discovery evidence but should not be the only verification. For institutional orders, request current certificates only where relevant and verify their scope. Before payment, independently reconfirm any bank-detail change through a known company contact channel.
2. What documents are required to import lab equipment from India?
There is no single universal document list for every destination and product. Core export/shipment records commonly include the commercial invoice, packing list, India-side shipping bill or bill of export, and the carrier’s transport document. A Certificate of Origin, insurance certificate, inspection certificate, product test/conformity evidence or calibration record may be required by the contract, product, trade agreement or destination. The overseas buyer must separately confirm importer registration, licences, conformity schemes, duties and tax requirements with the destination authority or customs broker before dispatch.
3. How should I verify an Indian exporter’s IEC?
Ask the supplier for its Importer-Exporter Code and use the Directorate General of Foreign Trade’s official IEC lookup when the transaction calls for that verification. The IEC check should be one part of due diligence, not the entire process: reconcile the firm name and address with the quotation and invoice, confirm the bank beneficiary, verify the physical/technical capability for the ordered products, and retain the verification result in the procurement file.
4. What should I check in a quotation from an Indian lab-equipment manufacturer?
Check each line for the exact item, quantity, model/variant, critical specification, included accessories, manuals/spares, unit and total price, currency, packing, warranty, delivery lead-time basis, quotation validity, payment terms, inspection requirements and the Incoterms 2020 rule with a precise named place. Then list all exclusions: destination charges, duty/tax, customs-broker fees, installation, calibration, training or inland delivery. A quotation is only comparable when those inclusions and exclusions are normalized across suppliers.
5. Should I use EXW, FCA, CIP or DAP when importing lab equipment?
Choose the delivery rule based on who can manage export clearance, freight, insurance, destination transport and import clearance most effectively; there is no universally best Incoterm. FCA can be useful when the buyer controls freight but wants the seller to complete export formalities. CIP includes seller-arranged carriage and insurance to the named destination, while risk transfers earlier when goods are handed to the carrier. DAP places transport risk on the seller up to the named destination but leaves import clearance to the buyer. Always state the precise named place and “Incoterms 2020.”
6. How can I reduce damage and shortages in an international lab-equipment shipment?
Treat packing and pre-shipment reconciliation as formal acceptance stages. Require an approved item list, accessory/spares checklist, photos of critical items, package-level contents, carton/crate marks, dimensions and gross/net weights. For fragile glassware or sensitive instruments, define the expected internal protection and any orientation/moisture controls before dispatch. Send draft shipment documents to the buyer or customs broker for reconciliation, then count packages and record visible damage immediately on arrival before unpacking and functional checks.
Key Takeaways
1. Importing laboratory equipment from India is a two-sided compliance process: the Indian exporter handles India-side export formalities while the overseas buyer remains responsible for destination-country import requirements.
2. Indian Customs requires an electronic shipping bill for vessel/air exports, and CBIC identifies the commercial invoice and packing list among the core export records; treat additional certificates as conditional, not universal.
3. Verify the supplier, freeze the item-level specification, and normalize the quotation before issuing a purchase order; product names alone are not adequate acceptance criteria.
4. Every international quotation should state a precise Incoterms 2020 rule and named place so cost, delivery and risk are not confused.
5. Packing, package data, inspection evidence and draft-document reconciliation should be completed before carrier handover, especially for fragile glassware, sensitive instruments and electronics training equipment.
6. For Jainco Lab enquiries, start from the confirmed product categories and provide the destination country, itemized BOQ, required documentation and delivery point so the export quotation can be evaluated on a controlled basis.
