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
How should a boutique, outlet or e-commerce buyer choose a lot?
Channel fit differs: a boutique may prioritise coherence and manageable quantity, an outlet breadth and volume, and e-commerce style data and material. No lot guarantees margin or sell-through; compare requirements, assortment, minimum, purchase mode and quotation.
- Define the audience and manageable quantity
- Compare assortment and permitted purchase mode
- Do not assume margin, replenishment or image rights
03
How should a complete B2B enquiry be prepared?
An actionable enquiry connects accurate company details and delivery country to the selected references, purchasing mode and requested quantities. Notes are for constraints and unresolved questions, not credentials or sensitive documents. Submission starts a review but does not automatically reserve goods.
- Use accurate company, VAT and contact details
- Select references, mode and requested quantities
- Keep banking data and passwords out of notes
04
How should a written quotation be reviewed and accepted?
Before accepting, use one controlling version and connect the same goods to final quantity, price, currency, VAT, freight, validity, payment, dispatch and applicable terms. Clarify every mismatch in writing; an enquiry or quotation does not automatically become an order or reservation.
- Check reference, date and version
- Compare goods, quantity and complete cost
- Resolve differences before accepting
05
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
06
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
07
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
08
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
09
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
10
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
11
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
12
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
13
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
