Export packing FAQ
How are rhinestone heat transfers packed for export?
Rhinestone heat transfers are typically packed in protective interleaving, then bagged or boxed to prevent mechanical contact between transfers. Export packing adds outer carton marking, shipping marks, country of origin labeling, and documentation requirements. The specific packing format is confirmed in the written quote for the program.
What documents are typically required for rhinestone transfer exports?
Export documentation commonly includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading or airway bill, certificate of origin, and any product-specific compliance certificates required by the destination country. The buyer is responsible for confirming import requirements for their destination market. LCHOTFIX provides documents to the agreed specification but does not manage customs clearance on the buyer's behalf.
How should packing quantities be specified for a rhinestone transfer program?
Packing quantity specifications include: units per inner bag or roll, inner packs per outer carton, carton dimensions and gross weight, shipping marks, label format, and any buyer-specific packing instructions. These must be confirmed in the brief before production starts, as repacking after manufacture adds cost and time.
Does packing format affect the minimum order for rhinestone transfers?
Packing format can affect minimum order requirements, particularly for custom packing, individual bagging, or branded packaging. Complex packing programs require more setup and handling. Confirm packing specifications early and include them in the written quote.
