Update from September 9th, 2024: We have now received the first delivery after around 6 weeks, approved by customs/KBA. As expected, everything is fine with the goods from Valenti. We can therefore confirm to you once again that the Valenti TRAD Smoked problems were an isolated case and an exception! We now have relays and indicators in stock again and do not expect any unusual delays in the future.
Given the circumstances, I would like to inform you in a fully transparent manner that we are currently expecting some delays in the import of Valenti LED products over the next few weeks.
Since July 24, 2024, a package with LED side indicators and indicator relays has been with customs for inspection and we have now found out that this has been selected for a random product safety check by the Federal Motor Transport Authority. Since the indicators have ECE approval and the relays should also meet all requirements, we are not worried about the outcome of the test. However, we were told that the process would take "a few weeks" and unfortunately we are not involved in the process or receive any further information until the result.
Another shipment of Valenti LED products has also been awaiting customs inspection for 10 days now and we suspect that all further shipments will be held back until the product safety check has been completed. For this reason, we cannot currently promise you exact delivery times for the Valenti LED products that we mark as "order goods".
We have already contacted all customers affected by the delays individually, informed them and worked out solutions.
Since transparency in such matters is very important to me personally, this is only general information for all customers in order to be able to offer you a satisfactory tuning experience.
Best regards
Lucas from GreenFuchs
