Treat the destination as part of the buying specification. The buyer or importer should verify current local requirements, while the RFQ records the product, packing, documents and delivery assumptions that the supplier must confirm.
01 · MARKET PREPARATION
Separate Australia and New Zealand destinations
Name the exact country, city, postcode, importer and final receiving point. Quote the destinations separately when delivery, documentation, tax, customs or channel instructions are not identical.
02 · MARKET PREPARATION
Anchor the range to the buyer's season
State the intended selling period, product mix, fabric weight and requested arrival window. The supplier should confirm feasibility after reviewing the full specification and destination rather than assuming a seasonal calendar.
03 · MARKET PREPARATION
Approve measurements and presentation
Attach the controlling garment measurement chart, grading and tolerance. Supply approved label, care, barcode, price-ticket and packaging artwork for the intended retailer or marketplace.
04 · MARKET PREPARATION
Review packaging and the full delivery route
Tell the supplier about carton limits, pallet or warehouse instructions and the final delivery point. The importer should verify current product, packaging, biosecurity, customs and tax requirements with qualified local sources.
