Questions
Export, frequently asked
What are your payment terms for a first export order?
Typically an advance with the order and the balance against shipping documents, or an irrevocable letter of credit at sight. Terms are agreed in writing on the proforma invoice before anything is produced.
Will you accept third-party inspection?
Yes, and we recommend it on a first order. Appoint SGS, Bureau Veritas, Intertek or your own agent to check specification and quantity before dispatch.
What is your minimum export order?
It depends on the fabric and whether it is dyed to a special shade. Tell us the fabrics and quantities you have in mind and we will say straight away what works, including consolidating several fabrics into one shipment.
Can you supply lab test reports?
Yes. Tell us the tests your market requires, such as weight, composition, colour fastness or shrinkage, and we arrange reports from an accredited lab for the lot being shipped.
How do you confirm the HS code?
The exact code depends on composition and weight. We confirm it against the actual construction and state it on the proforma invoice, so there are no surprises at customs.
