Model Number

Model Number is a unique code used in foreign trade to identify a product's specific specifications, version, or design, usually composed of letters, numbers, or a combination. It helps buyers and sellers accurately identify products during inquiries, quotations, orders, production, inspection, and after-sales, avoiding errors caused by vague descriptions. Usage scenarios include: product catalogs, proforma invoices, purchase contracts, packing lists, etc. Notes: Model Number is often confused with 'Item No.', but Item No. focuses more on internal inventory management, while Model Number emphasizes technical parameters and version; different brands have different naming rules, so confirm whether the customer's model corresponds to your product; if the customer provides a model, check drawings or samples to prevent same model but different configuration. Difference from 'Specification': Model Number is a unique identifier, Specification is specific parameters (e.g., size, power). Difference from 'SKU': SKU is a stock keeping unit, which may include model, color, packaging, etc. Therefore, foreign trade documents should list both model number and key specifications to ensure no ambiguity.
