MOQ What does it mean?

Minimum Order Quantity

MOQ stands for Minimum Order Quantity, the smallest quantity a supplier is willing to accept for an order. In an actual trade document, the parties should define the commercial scope, named place, currency, quantity, timing, and governing contract instead of relying on the label alone.

Chinese explanation

MOQ 是 Minimum Order Quantity 的缩写,表示供应商对单次订单设定的最低数量要求。服装和定制产品常按颜色、尺码或款式分别计算。 在实际外贸文件中,需要同时核对交易主体、币种、数量、交付地点、时间节点和合同版本;同一表达在询价、订单、发票与运输单据中的责任边界可能不同。
