Golden Dragon may not be entitled to reject the order for such a minor deviation from the contract terms, but it can seek damages if it can prove that the deviation caused harm or loss. This is because the deviation is minor and likely does not constitute a breach of a condition (which would allow for rejection of the goods), but rather a breach of warranty, which allows for damages.
