Also, misdirected freight may result in a chargeback. At UPR’s discretion, freight to original location and freight to corrected location may be charged.

It is the vendor’s responsibility to ensure that the shipment is released to the Universal carrier prior the cancellation date. Failure to do so may result in cancellation of the Purchase Order.

1. Additional Document Requirements for Imports

A Commercial Invoice is required for most shipments. It must be in English or accompanied by a certified translation furnished by a party who is knowledgeable of the transaction. Required details include: a detailed description of the goods; quantity; currency and purchase price or fair market value; name and amount of other charges and rebates such as freight, insurance, commission, packing, assists.

Specific invoice details may also be required for importation of a number of commodities. For example, certain products (especially textile and apparel products) imported into the U.S. are required to include the full name and address of the manufacturer for each item on the Commercial Invoice. Please note if items in a shipment were produced by multiple manufacturers, the full name and address must be provided for each manufacturer, with details of items and quantities produced by each. In addition, for textile and apparel products, the Commercial Invoice must include fabric composition and percentage (ex. 50% cotton, 50% polyester), gender, knit or woven details. DO NOT USE THE ADDRESS FOR THE DISTRIBUTOR OR ANY OTHER COMPANY.

For products coming from China, a Certificate of Origin must also be enclosed.

5. Wire Transfer Guidelines - Imports Only

For imported products, wire transfer is UPR's preferred payment method. All international Vendors should provide UPR with wire transfer instructions on their company letterhead in order for the wire transfer to be processed properly. The funds will be wired to the corresponding U.S. bank, and then the U.S. bank will direct the funds to the Vendor's bank overseas.

New Vendors should provide their wiring instructions with their first invoice in order for the wire transfer to be processed in a timely manner. Established Vendors should notify UPR as soon as possible concerning any changes to their current wiring instructions. This is necessary in order to prevent any delays in initiating and receiving the wire transfer. Any fees associated with incorrect wiring instructions will be charged back to the Vendor.

All documents concerning the payment for merchandise by a wire transfer (i.e., invoices, Bill of Lading, packing list, wire payment instructions, etc.) should be sent to the appropriate Merchandise Inventory Analyst. Wiring instructions should consist of the Vendor's bank name, bank address, bank account number, and bank ABA/Routing number. (International Vendors will need to provide their banks' U.S. corresponding bank's name as noted below.)

Upon receipt of all necessary documents from the Vendor, a wire transfer will be initiated within the next twenty-one (21) days for payment. If payment has not been received within the specified time limit mentioned above, the Vendor should contact the Merchandise Inventory Analyst.
