01
How should a clothing stock lot be checked?
Assess a lot from information tied to the goods actually available, not from a generic stock list. Compare images, item references, composition, sizes, condition, quantities and purchasing rules before enquiring; changing information should be reconfirmed in the quotation.
- Match images and references to the correct items
- Check available quantity and assortment
- Ask about missing or ambiguous information
02
Are overstock, end-of-line goods and samples used?
No. ItaModaStock normally offers new goods from overstock, end-of-line inventory or samples. A sample can have specific characteristics, so read the stated condition and any known defects on the listing and have them confirmed before purchase.
- Distinguish new goods, samples, returns and used goods
- Review disclosed defects or special characteristics
- Request extra photographs or video where needed
03
Full lot, partial lot or individual style?
The purchasing mode depends on the specific offer. A full lot is the entire quantity; a partial lot is an allowed portion; by-style purchasing applies only where a dedicated minimum exists. Seeing a style in the catalogue does not mean one retail unit can be purchased.
- Read the purchasing mode on the listing
- Do not confuse style visibility with retail sale
- Have the mode confirmed in the quotation
04
How should quantity and minimum purchase be checked?
Available quantity and minimum purchase are not universal values: they vary by lot and can change with availability. Use the listing for initial assessment and treat only the quantity in the latest commercial proposal as final.
- Read total quantity and minimum separately
- State the quantity wanted in the selection
- Verify the final quantity before acceptance
05
Why do some lots have no public price?
Price can depend on quantity, lot composition, destination, VAT and transport. Some stock therefore requires contact; no public price does not mean the goods are unavailable. The written quotation brings together confirmed quantity, price, taxes, freight and applicable terms.
- Send item references and required quantities
- Provide the destination country
- Compare the quotation total, not only a unit price
06
How does cross-border B2B VAT work in the EU?
VAT treatment for a cross-border B2B sale depends on where the parties are established, how the goods move, the documentation and VAT-number validity. An EU number can be checked through VIES, but the result must be considered with the documents for that transaction.
- Provide the legal company name and VAT number
- Check the number in VIES
- Have VAT treatment stated in the quotation
07
Are there customs duties on European deliveries?
Goods transported between European Union countries are not subject to internal customs duties, but VAT rules still apply. The United Kingdom, Switzerland, Norway and other non-EU destinations can involve customs declarations, import VAT, documents and additional costs.
- Separate EU and non-EU destinations
- Define freight and responsibilities in the quotation
- Check possible import charges
08
Which textile details should a buyer check?
Fibre composition, size, colour, labels and item references help determine resale suitability. EU rules require textile information to be legible and in the languages of the markets where the product is offered; buyers should also check national requirements.
- Compare composition with label photographs
- Check sizes and measurement systems
- Confirm the language required in the resale market
09
Does an enquiry automatically reserve stock?
No. Sending a selection or enquiry starts a commercial check but does not automatically reserve the goods. Availability can change until a confirmation or accepted quotation expressly states the reservation conditions.
- Treat listing availability as subject to confirmation
- Do not plan resale before confirmation
- Keep the accepted quotation and communications
10
How should a B2B supplier be verified?
Before buying, compare the legal name, VAT number, registered office, contact details and the entity issuing the quotation or invoice. ItaModaStock is the trading name; the site identifies TRA-COM SRLS as its operator and invoicing entity.
- Compare the website, quotation and invoice details
- Check the VAT number through official sources
- Use contact details published on the official domain
