Order planning for Belgian brands
Low-MOQ Clothing Manufacturing for Belgian Brands
A small unit count is only one part of a production plan. Fenalt coordinates product specifications, samples, selected production partners and project-specific quality and import arrangements.
Product brief
Give the quotation a usable specification
A sewing minimum may differ from the minimum for fabric, dyeing or finishing. Describe what is decided for each style and what still needs confirmation.
| Product group | Details for the brief |
|---|---|
| T-shirts, jersey and sweatshirts | Construction, known fibre composition, fabric weight if available, fit, rib, seams and finish. |
| Trousers and woven garments | Fabric, lining, measurements, pockets, closures, stitching and reinforcement. |
| Jackets and functional garments | Layers, lining, filling, coating, closures and the test needed for a performance claim. |
| Jeans and other bottoms | Composition, weight if known, stretch, requested colour or wash, measurements and trims. |
These examples help describe a request. They do not confirm that every material, process, garment type or performance feature is available for every order.
From brief to bulk
Keep approval steps distinct
The sample and specification versions approved in writing are the reference for bulk production and the agreed quality plan.
- Step 1
Product specification
Record construction, material, measurements, colours, branding and packaging; flag open decisions.
- Step 2
Sample and written sign-off
Review the agreed measurements, finish and details. Record the approved sample and tech-pack version.
- Step 3
Bulk and quality plan
Confirm quantities, inspection timing, sampling, reporting and how deviations will be handled.
- Step 4
Export and delivery
Record the Incoterm, named place, transport bookings, customs documents and local responsibilities.
Operating references
Confirm figures for the order
Fenalt’s references help with initial planning. The quotation should confirm what is feasible for the specific style, materials and order.
- MOQ reference
- 50 pieces per style; material, colour, construction and finish can affect feasibility or price.
- Capsule and scale tiers
- Fenalt’s planning references cover limited capsule bookings of 100–300 units and a scaling tier from 500+ units. Confirm feasible quantities for the specific product and order in the quotation.
- Sample
- 10–15 days for production, plus 3–5 days as a shipping reference; this is not an arrival promise for Belgium.
- Bulk production
- 15–20 days from pre-production sample sign-off to export dispatch; international freight is separate.
- Inspection reference
- AQL 2.5 under ANSI/ASQ Z1.4 General Inspection Level II when confirmed in the order-specific quality plan.
Belgium and the EU
Check import and sales information for each product
Identify the importer and the party preparing the customs declaration. Classification, origin treatment and documents depend on the actual garment, materials, origin and date. Use TARIC or Access2Markets as starting points, then have the customs representative or adviser confirm what applies. Ask whether the responsible operator needs an EORI number and confirm that it is valid. This page does not state a duty or VAT rate.
For textile labels and sales information, check the requirements for the actual product, sales region and channel. Ask a local product specialist to confirm the information and languages needed where the goods will be sold. Have labels and performance claims reviewed before production or printing.
Project brief
Compare quotations on the same scope
Compare quantities by size and colour, material, branding, packaging, sample stage, inspection, included costs and exclusions. Fenalt’s reference is DAP for small courier shipments and FOB Chattogram for bulk sea freight; the route and responsibilities must be confirmed in the quotation.
DAP does not automatically include import duties or taxes. Record the named place or port, main carriage, customs processing and local charges in writing.
- • Does the approved tech pack match the order version?
- • Are price, currency, payment terms, quotation validity and open assumptions recorded?
- • Are production, export dispatch, freight, customs and delivery planned as separate steps?
