Buyer glossary

A shared language for a better quotation.

These terms help buyers compare quotations. Record the values for each model and configuration so quantities, carton calculations and inspection scope are clear.

MOQ

Minimum order quantity: the smallest order accepted for a product or configuration. Ask whether the MOQ applies per model, SKU, colour, fabric or mixed order.

CBM

Cubic metres of packing volume. For an outer carton measured in centimetres, length x width x height divided by 1,000,000 gives carton CBM. Multiply by the carton count for the order.

OEM / ODM

OEM usually starts from an agreed design; ODM includes design-development work. Confirm who supplies the design, who approves revisions and what the quotation covers.

Pre-shipment inspection

A check against the agreed sample and specification before dispatch. Define the sample size, acceptance criteria, product and carton checks, and report recipient in advance.

Discuss your product requirements.

We will confirm model-specific facts and the next steps.
