Frequently asked questions

Why is the dye lot number important on an invoice?

Dye lot numbers are critical for textile mills because they track color consistency. If a customer needs to reorder or complains about shade variation, the dye lot number allows you to verify the exact batch and resolve the issue quickly.

What does FOB mean on a textile invoice?

FOB (Free On Board) is a common Incoterm in textile trade. It indicates that the seller fulfills their obligation when the goods pass the ship's rail at the named port. It affects who pays freight and when ownership transfers. Always specify the location, e.g., 'FOB Mill' or 'FOB Port of Savannah'.

Can I use this invoice for international customers?

Yes, but you may need to include additional details like harmonized system (HS) codes, country of origin, and commercial invoice requirements for customs. This template provides a solid base, but consult your freight forwarder for specific export documentation.
