FlyVisto editorial guide. Confirm current product-specific requirements before committing to an order.
A useful brief lets several factories quote the same product. Start with the intended use and a clear drawing or model reference. Record units, materials, dimensions, packaging and the destination market; avoid relying on a product photo alone.
Read guideBuild the worksheet in layers: product, China-side movement, international transport, insurance, customs-related amounts, destination movement and service fees. Label the currency and whether tax is included for every amount.
Read guideGive the reviewer the product function, composition, operating principle and technical document. A marketing name may cover several different products, so it should not be the only basis for classification.
Read guideBegin by checking whether the actual product falls within the current import product-safety controls. Collect the manufacturer identity, model, technical description and existing reports before scheduling shipment.
Read guideMatch the paperwork to the exact product, model and manufacturer. Ask for the technical scope and supporting information instead of accepting an unrelated report because the cover page looks official.
Read guideFor a remote review, collect the company legal name, registration information, address and the identity used in contracts and payment requests. List what could be independently checked and what remains a supplier statement.
Read guideTreat a beneficiary change as a pause point. Preserve the request and verify it through a contact channel already established before the change. Avoid relying entirely on the reply address in the same email thread.
Read guideBreak a proposed schedule into explicit events: an approved specification, accepted sample, a production check or an agreed document handover. Describe the evidence needed for each event before discussing a release.
Read guideAssign a reference to every supplier and sample line before shipping to the consolidation address. Record the expected quantity and any fragile, battery, liquid or other special handling information.
Read guideDescribe which sample version is being reviewed and which properties were checked. Size, color, material, function and packaging should be recorded separately where relevant. Photographs help identify the version but do not replace measurable criteria.
Read guideBefore production, agree the specification, components and reference sample. During production, review the issues that can still be corrected before the entire batch is finished. Before shipment, check the agreed final scope.
Read guideIdentify each issue with a reference, affected product and evidence. Distinguish an observed defect from a suspected cause; keep the supplier response and the proposed remedy alongside the original finding.
Read guideStart by describing the product outcome and which design elements already exist. Identify drawings, material choices, performance targets and the changes requested from the factory’s existing product.
Read guideList the moulds, fixtures, drawings and source files involved in development. Ask who owns each item, where it will be held and what access, maintenance or transfer arrangements apply.
Read guidePrepare a list of every branded element: product label, inner label, box, bag, insert and carton mark. Link each element to its artwork version, material, dimensions and required quantity.
Read guideCreate a SKU-to-product list before commissioning labels. Identify which codes describe the product and which labels belong to a particular warehouse shipment or carton. Keep version control on the approved print files.
Read guideBefore goods reach the prep warehouse, provide the destination market, SKU list and current shipment instructions. Identify any bundling, packaging and item or carton-label needs for each line.
Read guideCompare the actual SKU, product version and requested label before the warehouse processes the whole batch. A correct-looking label can still belong to a different variant or shipment.
Read guideUse the same origin, destination, cargo-ready date, gross weight and carton dimensions for every route quotation. List loading, consolidation, insurance, destination handling and final delivery assumptions.
Read guideWrite the delivery term, edition and named place together. A three-letter abbreviation without a precise location can leave pickup, handover and destination assumptions unclear.
Read guideRecord the product and battery details before asking for a transport quote. Tell the planner whether batteries are separate, packed with equipment or installed, and identify other special cargo features.
Read guideChoose the fair edition and phase that match your product categories. Check the organizer’s current dates, venue and visitor arrangements before fixing flights and meetings.
Read guideShare the language pair, industry, meeting purpose and terminology in advance. Send approved technical references and explain which issues require a precise translation rather than a general conversation summary.
Read guideMake a checklist of documents required for the actual product, route and destination. Record who prepares each document, the reference it must match and when the reviewer needs to see it.
