Product Data Requirements

 

The following information is required to ensure accurate set-up of items in our database.


  1. Seller Part Number (VPN) – The exact part number that will be on packing slip, invoice, and each carton.

  1. Description – Product description (e.g. Cup, plastic, 8 oz., red, striped).

  1. Material – What material(s) the product is made of; this is a required export field for NAFTA.

  1. Unit of Measure – The shipping unit of measure for the item (e.g. case, each) and the invoice unit of measure that the product is billed on your invoice (e.g. each, case, dozen).

  1. Product Dimensions – Must have the length, width, and height of the individual item.

  1. Product Weight – The weight of the shipping unit of measure (assumes lbs). Please note the weight and the quantity per shipping unit of measure (e.g. 9 # per case of 24 or .375# per each).

  1. Packaging (Master Pack/Inner Pack) – Note how the product ships and invoices. If more than 1 piece per case pack, are the individual units “whole” units or are there multiple pieces in the same carton that need to be put together (i.e., is any assembly required)? Items that ship in multiple boxes will not be stored in Hubert’s warehouse these items must be direct ship items to Hubert’s customer via FedEx Ground if possible.

  1. Pricing – Your net price per the invoice unit of measure (List price can be noted). To maintain pricing integrity in our publications, we require that all Sellers hold their product costs consistent for the duration of the catalog. In the case of new items the cost must be held for 12-18 months based on catalog production schedule. Prior to each subsequent catalog printing, you will have the opportunity to review and adjust costs. Failure to confirm costs when requested will result in a reduction of Hubert’s marketing support of your product line.

  1. Minimum Order Requirements – quantity per item, per order, dollar amount, and weight – Please specify.

  1. Lead Time – The average number of days it takes to ship the product from receipt of Purchase Order.

  1. Shipping (for individual product or case) – Can the product be shipped complete within one box (if No then # of boxes)? Is the product a truck ship small package item (if Oversize, please specify)?

  1. Product Certifications – Advise if product is approved by UL, NSF, etc.

  1. NAFTA Country of Origin – The country of where an item is manufactured or where the majority of its components originate. The assembly of an item in a country does not render it as originating in that same country. If United States, also provide the state.

    U.S. Customs law requires that each product MUST have the English name of the Country of Origin (COO) clearly marked on each individual item in a conspicuous place as legibly and permanently as nature of the article permits. Product shipping directly to Hubert from outside North America must also be marked with country of origin on the inner and master cartons.
