SOURCING INSIGHTS
Preparing your export documents
Keep the information behind your shipment connected.
Start with the requirement.
Describe the product, material or grade, packaging and estimated quantity you need. Include your destination and preferred delivery window. A clear brief makes a useful conversation possible.
Ask consistent questions.
Use the same specification when discussing suppliers, samples and quotations. Keep track of assumptions, quality expectations and any points that still need confirmation.
Agree the next step.
Define who will do what, and when. Confirm your sample, documentation and inspection arrangements for the specific order before committing to production or shipment.
