I mean put it in your requirements and reject the mix if it contains pops and clicks... Whoever did the mixing has the original with cuts so can add fades much much quicker than you can.

And if they don't well, more work for them.

Or just add it to the bill, if you are clear upfront that it will add $$$ there's no issues there.

I've had sessions rejected by mastering engineers for stuff that I've had to correct, why make this your problem.
