Advanced Shipping Notice - CSI Vendor Manual

After entry, vendor must print the packing list. We require one website packing list for the lead carton or the bundle GOH of a
purchase order and one packing list attached to the bill of lading.
Please view the Advanced Shipping Notice SOP (ASN) on our Vendor Partnership Manual Website for detailed ASN entry
instructions.
International Shipments (FOB Sales Terms)
For merchandise that Charming Shoppes Inc. has purchased on an FOB foreign port basis, international transportation
arrangements are made by Charming Shoppes Inc. nominated freight forwarding agent.
Charming Shoppes Inc. does not allow the use of solid wood packing materials for shipments from Hong Kong or China. The
following typed statement must appear on all commercial invoices that will be shipped from these countries: “No solid wood
packing materials used” or “Does not contain solid wood packing materials.” The designated air or ocean carrier has been notified
by Charming Shoppes Inc. to refuse commercial documents if this statement is not on the commercial invoice.
Payment for FOB foreign port purchases is normally made via international letter of credit.
Charming Shoppes Inc. required mode of transport and the corresponding freight forwarding agent are identified to the vendor in
the letter of credit. Since Charming Shoppes Inc. is the importer of record, transportation charges are indicated as “collect” on the
FCR or HAWB. In the event a purchase order must be sent via air mode of transportation instead of ocean due to late delivery,
contact the division.
