Terms of Trade

 

The basis for all our business is for:

 

            Deliveries                     Incoterms 2000

            Yarns                          BISFA rules (where they exist)

            Payments                     International accepted terms for L/C "ERA 500" revision 1993

            Currencies                   Most fully convertable ones - guidance is always our tariff

            Contracts                     "General terms of Sales"

 

 

 

BISFA weight correction (according to BISFA rules)

 

As per BISFA regulations we have to correct the invoiced weights for the following product lines:

            * PA 6.6 POY

            * PA 6.6 high tenacity on cyls. and beams

            * PA 6 high tenacity on cyls.

            * PES FOY

Products which undergo a subsequent finissage operation such as rewinding, uptwisting or dyeing absorb during these operations humidity. Due to different absorbtion factors for such products we refrain from applying the correction factors on these finissage products.

 

 

 

Quality

 

Normally we only work with first quality yarns . Under first quality we understand the required quality for each specific end use. For certain end uses weight differences in bobbin weights are acceptable. 1b and 2a can only be sold according to availability and not on a contract basis (not prior to availability).

 

We differ between the following quality levels:

 

 

Qual.

Quality aspect

Price construction

 

1a

or

A

First quality product without any defects.

Warp: all bobbins equal length

Weft: weight differences are possible but
this is not a quality defect

Knitting: as weft yarn

pricelist prices

 

1b

or

A1

Generally first quality product but more important weight differences are likely. Minor deviations from the specifications are possible. Dyeability possibly questionable.

pricelist prices minus max. 5-10 % quality rebate

 

2a

or

B

Second quality product without any guarantee of quality - our second quality is often comparable with 1b of our competi-tors. Yarns must run off the bobbins!

pricelist prices minus abt. 20 % quality rebate.

 

For 1b there is only a limited right for complaining - for 2a there is no right of complaint!

 

 

 

Contract period

 

Normally we only engage for a period of 3 months. This is the time for which we can know the rawmaterial and production costs. In strategic cases we may accept to sell for a slightly longer period. Yearly contracts are not possible.

 

 

 

Quantity

 

Our offers are normally valid for 20 and 40 container shipments. Our minimum quantity per delivery is one pallet. For smaller quantities than a pallet a surcharge has to be applied because of excessive warehouse and administration work (except one time samplings). In order to be most cost effective in terms of transportation costs we appreciate if you consider adjusting the purchases to the capacity of a truck/container/rail waggon. Please check with us for the capacity

 

 

 

Sampling rules

 

Yarn samples:                          normal price less maximum 10-15 % sampling rebate

 

For DECORA specific sampling rules apply.
