Before production

  • Written spec per SKU: botanical name, mesh, intended use.
  • Sample approval tied to a future batch ID format.
  • Incoterms and port named in the proforma.
  • Label claims review if factory prints retail packs.

With the shipment

  • Commercial invoice matching packing list weights.
  • Batch/lot ID per line item.
  • Manufacturer address consistent across documents.
  • Packing marks your 3PL can scan.

Frequently asked questions

Is a COA the same as a certificate of origin?
No. A COA-style batch summary covers product parameters; certificate of origin is a trade document issued per shipment rules. You may need both.
Should MSDS be included for plant powders?
Many brokers and retailers request SDS/MSDS for handling. Ask your supplier for SDS aligned to the shipped form.
Can documentation be re-used for reorders?
Process documents repeat; batch-specific values must update every lot. Build a template importers fill per shipment.
