Sourcing terms, explained
The trade terms this page uses, in plain language.
- A manufacturer makes a product to the buyer's own design or specification, and the buyer sells it under its own name.
- A product made by a manufacturer and sold under the buyer's brand, usually from the manufacturer's existing design with the buyer's labelling and packaging.
- The buyer checks a sample of the product and approves it before full production begins, so both sides agree exactly what will be made.
- A check of finished goods, usually before they are packed or loaded, against the agreed specification, quantity and packing. An inspection report records what was found.
- A Harmonized System code: the international number that classifies a product for customs, duty rates and export documents.
- The seller's invoice for the goods, stating what was sold, the quantity, the value and the terms of sale. Customs use it to assess duty.
- The carrier's document acknowledging that goods were received for shipment. It states the terms of carriage and, for sea freight, is usually needed to collect the goods at the destination.
- Standard trade terms from the International Chamber of Commerce that set who arranges and pays for transport, insurance and customs clearance, and where risk passes from seller to buyer.
