Export
Exporting fragrance products involves more than choosing a scent. Use this checklist to prepare the product, commercial and shipping details before you request a quotation.
Start with the product name, fragrance family, pack size, fill quantity and outer carton details. If the product is a finished perfume, an oil, a bakhoor or a packaging component, say so clearly because the classification and documentation can differ.
Include the destination country and port or city. Export requirements are destination-specific, so the same product may need different labels or paperwork for different markets.
A buyer enquiry should cover the product list, quantities, unit prices, currency, Incoterms, payment terms and expected delivery date. The supplier can then confirm what is available and what the quotation includes.
Ask which commercial documents are provided, such as the invoice, packing list and transport documents. The exact set depends on the shipment and destination; confirm it with the supplier and your freight forwarder.
Labels may need the product name, quantity, batch information, manufacturer or importer details and destination-language wording. Some markets have additional restrictions for fragrance products or alcohol content.
Confirm the requirements with a qualified import adviser or freight forwarder before printing labels. A supplier can support the production and packing, but the buyer remains responsible for meeting destination rules.
Decide who arranges freight, insurance and customs clearance. Incoterms define where the seller’s responsibility ends, so make sure both sides interpret the term the same way.
Ask for the carton dimensions, gross weight and expected dispatch date so your forwarder can plan. Keep the final quotation and specification in writing, and check the shipment details before dispatch.
The exact set depends on the shipment and destination. Common commercial documents include an invoice and packing list, with transport and destination-specific documents arranged through the freight forwarder.
