International buyers need consistent specifications, batch records, packaging protection and clear documents before shipping. A sample alone is not enough for repeat supply. Define the acceptance basis.
Prepare the data pack
- Material grade and colour.
- Diameter, tolerance and weight.
- TDS, SDS and batch record.
- Packaging and pallet data.
Control transport
Use moisture protection, adequate spool support and labels that survive handling. Confirm carton strength and barcode content before dispatch.
Agree quality rules
- Sampling plan.
- Claim process.
- Change notification.
- Lead time and MOQ.
| Area | Question | Evidence |
