Retail staff rarely ask about distribution channels directly, but their questions almost always lead back to it.
Checklist
- Keep certificates current and filed against the exact model name.
- Check carton quantities against the commercial invoice line by line.
- Verify that artwork matches the approved compliance template.
- Log sell through by account for the first eight weeks.
- Retain one sealed sample carton from every batch for reference.
- Review the reorder point after one full selling cycle.
Commercial terms
Freight terms should be named explicitly, because an unclear incoterm is the fastest way to lose a relationship.
Currency movement over a ninety day cycle can outweigh the difference between two competing quotations.
