01 · MARKET PREPARATION
Choose the exact country and entry point
Name the destination country, city, warehouse, port or airport and responsible importer. GCC or Middle East is not a complete customs, tax, labeling or delivery instruction.
02 · MARKET PREPARATION
Turn climate and coverage needs into specifications
State the selling season, intended use, fabric weight, layering, opacity, fit and coverage requirements as measurable buyer criteria. Do not assume one climate or consumer preference across the region.
03 · MARKET PREPARATION
Provide approved language and presentation files
List the buyer-required languages and supply final approved label, care, barcode, price-ticket and packaging artwork. Confirm current destination requirements locally before those files are released for use.
04 · MARKET PREPARATION
Plan heat, handling and delivery review
Tell the supplier how samples and packaging will be assessed for the intended route and receiving conditions. Request written confirmation of packing, carton marks, named place, timing assumptions and every excluded logistics cost.
