What are the last orders of foreign trade?
Foreign trade tail goods originated from my country’s reform and opening up in 1979, and the original term was “export to domestic sales”. China's cheap labor is famous around the world, so many foreign companies come to China to process and manufacture goods, and then ship them back to their home countries for sale. After domestic manufacturers have completed production for foreign orders, there will always be a batch left over, for example, after producing 100,000 units, there may be only a few hundred left over. These few hundred left over are called foreign trade leftovers.
What is the reason for the emergence of foreign trade tail orders?
Why do foreign trade clothing factories that export overseas inevitably have unsold goods?
First of all, we need to understand the working process of the foreign trade clothing factory:
The working process of a foreign trade garment factory:
1. Fax EMAIL sent by foreign customers
2. Make samples and quote according to the fax or email sent by foreign customers
3. Modify the sample price and wait for foreign customers to confirm
4. Buy cotton yarn (different textures) and weave cloth according to your requirements
5. Dyeing (must be dyed enough at one time, otherwise color difference will easily occur)
6. Tailoring
7. Printing, dyeing or embroidery
8. Production on the machine
9. Trimming, selecting, ironing and packaging
10. Packing and delivery
The above is the general process. Problems may occur in any link in the process, such as holes in the fabric, printing and dyeing errors, stains on the machine, and misaligned needlework. Therefore, you should reserve some spare parts in advance. For example, if the order is for 10,000 pieces, and you calculate that you need 10,000 square meters of cloth, then you will have to weave 12,000 square meters. If you have good control or good luck, then the final finished products of these 12,000 square meters of cloth will be 11,000 pieces (no matter how good the control is, it is impossible to have 12,000 finished products. There will definitely be a small problem in some link, and there may be problems such as workers taking away pieces of cloth). However, foreign countries strictly receive goods according to orders, so the extra 1,000 pieces are leftovers, and a small part of the leftovers will have defects, but most of them are good, because if there are defects, they will be directly thrown out in the first process and cannot wait until the last process. A small part of the defects are discovered in the final packaging stage and thrown out.
This is how leftover foreign trade orders are created. The more foreign trade clothing a manufacturer produces, the more leftover orders it generates. A large clothing factory can have as many as tens of thousands of leftover orders a year.
