===================================
Ordering Process with SMT Assembly
===================================

This section will guide you through the ordering process at JLCPCB with the intend to choose SMT assembly. It is useful to mention that no additional setup costs 
arise for basic parts (resistors, diodes, capacitors). On the other hand for all extended parts there will be a setup cost of 3$ each. 

.. warning:: For the order with SMT assembly JLC needs tooling holes on the PCB. These will be added by JLC if none are specified by the customer, but it is recommended to add them as described `here <https://support.jlcpcb.com/article/92-how-to-add-tooling-holes-for-smt-assembly-order>`_. 

1. Go to `JLCPCB`_ and sign in with your account

11. Follow the steps of the delivery and payment 

    .. tip:: The recommended payment is credit card, since paypal has very bad current exchange rates and the recommended delivery method is `DHL Express Priority (DDP=Delivered Duty Paid) <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incoterms#DDP_%E2%80%93_Delivered_Duty_Paid_(named_place_of_destination)>`_.

        JLC - Shipping

.. note:: After JLC shipped the manufactured PCBs and you received the shipping number, a custom declaration (Zollvoranmeldung) has to be done for this shipment via `DHL Express website <https://www.dhl.de/de/geschaeftskunden/express/produkte-und-services/formular-zollabfertigung.html>`_. This is to avoid the package getting stock in customs.
