Planning facts to confirm

Qualifying capsule MOQ: Options may start at 50 units per style for qualifying capsule projects, depending on fabric and design complexity; confirm eligibility in the written quotation.
Sample schedule: Ask Fenalt to confirm the sample-production schedule after reviewing the tech pack and pattern, and state sample-shipping time separately in the written quotation.
Production schedule: After the product, order volume, sample sign-off, and material plan are reviewed, ask Fenalt for separate written dates for production, export dispatch, and transit to the destination.
Inspection basis: Fenalt provides on-site quality control during production. Pre-shipment inspection follows AQL 2.5 (ANSI/ASQ Z1.4 Level II). Standard industry tolerances are applied across all points of measure. Needle or metal detection can be incorporated where required by the product, buyer specification, or production facility.

Build the product brief

Keep the performance target measurable and tie each check to the approved tech pack and sample.

Record fibre composition, knit or woven construction, size range and intended use.
Set stretch, recovery, opacity and any test methods with the buyer before sampling.
Agree fabric weight and measurement tolerances against the selected material; there is no universal GSM range.

Import checks for Finland

Classification and import conditions depend on the actual garment, fibre, construction, origin and trade terms. Check the current tariff with the official lookup and the buyer’s customs broker before estimating landed cost.

Local budgeting currency

EUR

Use Euro (EUR) for local planning. Confirm invoice currency, bank charges, deposits and payment milestones in Fenalt’s written quotation; payment terms are order-specific.

Finnish-market label-language review

For consumer sales in Finland, the Finnish Competition and Consumer Authority says the product-use instructions the seller must provide must be easy to access in Finnish and Swedish. Instructions conveyed with widely known symbols, including clothing-care symbols, are an exception. Ask the importer or a Finnish labelling specialist to confirm which instructions and symbols apply to the specific garment. Confirm fibre-composition label language separately under applicable EU and Finnish requirements. Ask the broker to use Fintaric, Finland's interface based on EU TARIC, to check classification and current measures using garment type, construction, fibre mix and origin.

Shipping and delivery terms

Before planning freight, ask Fenalt to confirm the available Incoterm, named place or port, responsibility for import clearance, duties and taxes, and any available transit estimate in the written quotation. Terms are order-specific.

ICC Incoterms® 2020 rules

Example: a buyer in Finland budgeting a knitted performance legging can give a broker its knit construction, fibre mix and garment details for classification before estimating duty.

Confirm fibre-content, care, origin, importer and language labelling requirements for the finished product with the local authority and importer. Requirements can vary by product and market.
