Direct answer
What should a buyer include in a plush toy sourcing checklist brief?
A plush toy sourcing checklist should make fabric, filling, construction and pack decisions visible before a buyer approves a quote. Ask for the supplied textile and filling description, dimensions, weight, seams, attachments, care language and packaging. Record the exact SKU, colour or design, MOQ, price basis, carton quantity, carton dimensions and lead-time assumption. Review the approved sample and product copy together, especially when a character, embroidery, accessory or label changes. Do not infer age suitability, wash performance or compliance from a generic plush image. Request the available product-specific document scope for the destination market and keep the final quotation, sample and packaging version in one reference file. Record the approved SKU, target market, estimated quantity, pack format and requested timing together. Keep open fields marked To confirm until the supplier returns written product, quotation and document details for review.

Quote brief
Put the open fields in one place.
Use the worksheet as a conversation aid. Product names, images and category descriptions can help a buyer form a shortlist, but the selected SKU, approved sample, written quotation and destination-market review control the final decision. Keep the market, channel, quantity, packaging direction and timing together in the same brief. When a field is not supplied, write To confirm instead of guessing. This protects the buyer from comparing different assumptions under the same headline price. It also gives the supplier a clear list of questions to answer and gives the operations team a stable reference for sampling, inspection, packing and replenishment. The guide does not provide legal, medical, customs or compliance advice. Confirm those obligations with qualified advisers for the destination market before artwork or production is approved.
