What our catalogues state for an export order

These are the export terms printed in the ArtzFolio photo frame and board manufacturing catalogues. All of them are subject to discussion, because they depend on the order, the buyer and drop and packaging testing. The quote is where each line is confirmed for your order.

What to put in an export brief

Our catalogues list the brief as five items: the product, the size, the design, the quantity and the country you ship to. The country matters more for export than for a domestic order, because the compliance documents are “subject to the buyer’s market”. Name the country in the first message, and the quote can say which documents apply.

  • Product and size: for example a framed pin board or a photo frame, with the size in inches or millimetres.
  • Design: your artwork or frame colour, and whether you want your own labels, barcodes, carton marks or insert cards on the pack.
  • Quantity: a rough figure per size is enough for a first quote.
  • Destination country: so that documents and packing can be planned around it.

Documents and packing, step by step

Documents are issued on request for each order, so ask for the list you need while the quote is open. The set our catalogues name is the commercial invoice, the packing list and the certificate of origin, with the HS code for the product. If your market asks for a material compliance document, say so in the brief, because it is supplied on request and depends on the market.

On packing, the catalogues say export-grade cartons, with pallet and container loading as agreed. The number of cartons per pallet is not a fixed figure; it is confirmed in the quotation once the sizes are known. Our own guide on packing glass and acrylic fronted frames for transport explains why the pack is planned around the journey.

What we do not state, so you know what to ask

The site does not publish a freight rate, a transit time, certifications, test standards or defect rates. Under ex-works terms you arrange the freight, and the EXW Noida guide shows who handles each leg. If you prefer a different term, the Incoterms guide compares them, and the quote will say what we can agree. For the tax side of an Indian invoice, see GST and HSN codes for frame and wall decor orders.

These export terms are stated for photo frames and boards. For wall art, wallpaper and fabric furnishings, ask in the enquiry and we will confirm in the quote.
