Sometimes, a formal contract or a printed order form may be attached therein. • Question 2: Can you list some items that should be included in an order? • An order usually should include the article number, description & specification, quantity, unit price, total amount, terms of payment, packing, shipping marks, time of shipment, port of loading, port of destination etc.
