Above is a sample Domestic Item Quote Sheet. Both the IQS and Fabric Import Worksheet are required for Fabric Item Set Up. Links to IQS, Fabric Import Worksheet, and FAQ are located at the end of this article.
IQS TIPS
*See above sample – only highlighted fields in yellow and green apply to us. Blue X means these are not required for fabric SKUs.
*Item Description – all descriptions should be customer friendly. Formula – Brand Identifier, Material/Description, Yardage. EX: MIK RED COTTON SOLID 10
*Vendor Style Number – Vendor style numbers should be unique for EACH SKU. You should not have duplicate vendor style numbers.
*IP and MP – IP and MP should be equal to the number of yards on the bolt. IP and MP should always match. (Non-standard bolts will not be accepted and will result in a chargeback/fine).
*Pre-price – marked “N”
*GTIN – all fabric is excluded from needing GTIN# on quote sheet for item set up and maintenance.
*Dimensions – Inner, Master, and Eaches dimensions need to match. Inner, Master, Eaches weight do not need to match. See below.
*Package Language Indicator (PLI) – Select English. If the item will be sold in Canada, you must select Canadian French. Note, this needs to be printed on the item’s label. French translations must be on the label, also.
*Private Brand Label – select “Non-Private Brand”.
*Consumer-Friendly Description – 100 (long): Limit number of characters to 100. Please fill in the description and do not abbreviate. 30 (medium): Limit number of characters to 30. Please fill in the description and do not abbreviate. 17 (short): Limit number of characters to 17. Please fill in the description and do not abbreviate.
*Detailed Invoice Customs Description – State the name of the product and its intended use. The Detailed Invoice/Customs. Description is not the same as the 30-character item description (found on the right-hand side of the Import Quote Sheet) and will contain many more details such as type of material used in manufacture, color, and size.
For example, floral items must state the name of the flower or bush. Ceramics that are meant for food should be disclosed as such. The detail you include in the Detailed Invoice/Customs Description should provide a clear indication of the product name, its function, exclusions regarding use, size, color, shape, and materials that were used to make the product.
*Component Material Breakdown – State the percentage breakdown of the materials used in manufacturing. If the item is manufactured using a combination of more than one material, you must indicate the percentage of each material that is used in the manufacture of the product.
(i.e.: 70% polyester, 30 % cotton. Polyester alone is incorrect.) If only one material is used in the manufacture of the product, the material component breakdown would indicate that the product is made of 100% of that material. (i.e. 100% polyester)
