01 · MARKET PREPARATION
Split multi-country buying plans
Identify the exact country, city, importer, channel and receiving point for each order. Separate quotations when languages, labels, currencies, documentation or delivery instructions differ.
02 · MARKET PREPARATION
Approve fit with measurements
Provide the intended customer profile, garment measurements, grading and tolerance rather than using a regional size label. Record the controlling sample and chart for each size range.
03 · MARKET PREPARATION
Specify climate and moisture handling
State fabric weight, breathability, lining, drying, individual packing and moisture-protection requirements as buyer-defined specifications. Ask the supplier to confirm feasibility for the exact style.
04 · MARKET PREPARATION
Control localized files and consolidation
Supply approved language, barcode, price-ticket and packaging files by destination. If orders will be consolidated, state how styles, cartons, documents and final destinations must remain identifiable.
