What Should Be Checked on Shipping Documents Before a Bulk Activewear Order Is Dispatched?

Update Time:2026/8/31

PRE-DISPATCH CHECK

Check shipping documents against the actual order before dispatch.

Before a bulk activewear order is dispatched, the shipping documents should be checked against the actual shipment, the agreed Incoterm, and the destination-country requirements.

Common shipping documents

  • Commercial invoice
  • Packing list
  • Transport document, such as a Bill of Lading for sea freight or an Air Waybill for air freight
  • Product and carton information
  • Country-of-origin information where required
  • Customs or export documentation required for the shipment

Destination-specific records

Depending on the destination and order, additional documents may include a Certificate of Origin, test reports, material or certification documents, retailer-specific paperwork, or other import-clearance records.

Match documents to the actual shipment

Before shipment, the commercial invoice and packing list should match the actual quantities, product descriptions, carton count, gross and net weights, declared values, consignee information, and agreed shipping terms.

The transport document and shipping instructions should also be reviewed with the buyer, freight forwarder, or customs broker where applicable. Destination-specific customs and import requirements should be confirmed before dispatch, as document requirements can vary by market, product, shipping method, and Incoterm.

At Call The STYLE, we can prepare the standard commercial and packing documents related to the order and coordinate shipment information with the buyer, freight forwarder, or customs broker. Destination-specific requirements should be confirmed before dispatch so that missing or inconsistent documentation does not delay clearance.
