Wholesale buying begins with a clear conversation. The more accurate the initial information, the faster the response and the fewer the mistakes. This guide explains the process step by step.

Step 1: Specify the design precisely

Send the name of the collection or series together with the design code and colour. If you have chosen from a catalogue, send its link or page as well. A code on its own may not identify a unique product.

A catalogue shows the design, but it does not prove that the design is available.

Step 2: Write sizes and quantities separately

Write each size and its quantity separately, and state whether the number refers to pieces or square metres. Also give the destination city and country.

Step 3: Get the technical specifications in writing

  • Weaving method
  • Pile yarn material
  • Reed count and density, with the counting method
  • Pile height and pile weight

For spaces such as hotels, also request fire certification that meets the regulations where the project is located. For further reading, see the articles "Reed Count and Density" and "Acrylic vs Polyester".

Step 4: Check the tariff with customs at the destination

Rugs and textile floor coverings fall under Chapter 57 of the Harmonized System, and the heading depends on the method of manufacture 1. Ask a customs broker or your country's customs office about the final code, duties and import regulations. Regulations on importing goods of Iranian origin can also differ from country to country, so check them before ordering.

Step 5: Specify the delivery terms

Use Incoterms 2020 and write the rule together with the place and the version 2. Remember that Incoterms do not determine the price, the payment method or the transfer of ownership 2. These must be agreed separately.

Step 6: Identify the documents in advance

Before ordering, ask what documents are needed for clearance in your country. Incoterms do not specify the documents needed for clearance in the buyer's country 2.

Step 7: Get final confirmation

The stock, price, delivery time and payment terms of each order are confirmed separately and after review. Do not treat a figure you heard in an initial conversation as final confirmation.
