How to Create a Good Product Listing on FourtyDays.com

Creating a professional and detailed product listing is the key to attracting global buyers on FourtyDays.com.
A clear, complete, and accurate listing not only improves visibility but also builds buyer trust.
This guide walks you through the fields required when posting your product.

Step 1: Select Your Listing Type

When starting the process, you’ll be asked to choose a listing type.
For suppliers, select “List Your Products”.
This ensures your items are placed in the correct marketplace section.

Step 2: Choose the Product Category and Subcategory

Select the main category that best fits your product (e.g., Beauty & Personal Care, Food & Beverage, Household Products, etc.).
Next, select the subcategory for more accuracy.
This helps buyers filter and find your products quickly.

Step 3: Add a Listing Title

Your title should be clear, concise, and descriptive.
Use keywords that buyers search for, e.g.:

“Brand Name - Natural Shea Butter Body Lotion – 400ml”

Avoid generic titles like “Good Product”.

Step 4: Write a Detailed Listing Description

In the listing description box, explain your product in more detail.
Include:

  • Key ingredients or materials
  • Unique selling points (eco-friendly, handmade, certified, etc.)
  • Applications (retail, hospitality, salon use, etc.)
  • Packaging details

Tip: Keep it professional, avoid jargon, and highlight export readiness.

Step 5: Provide Basic Product Details

You will need to fill in several required fields:

  • Country of Origin – Where the product is manufactured.
  • MOQ (Minimum Order Quantity) – Select the minimum units a buyer must order (100, 500, 1000, etc.).
  • Manufacturing Lead Time – Select how many days you require to prepare and ship an order.

Step 6: Export & Pricing Information

This section ensures buyers understand your export readiness:

  • Preferred Incoterm for Export (e.g., FOB, CIF, EXW)
  • FOB/FCA Port – State your nearest port of export
  • Ex-Works Price (per unit) – Add the unit price at the factory
  • Currency – Select the applicable trading currency
  • Sample Availability – Indicate if you can provide samples
  • Are Your Products Retail Ready? – Yes/No (important for retail buyers)

Step 7: Compliance and Documentation

Buyers expect proof of compliance. Upload relevant documents such as:

  • COA (Certificate of Analysis)
  • MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet)

Also include:

  • HS Code – International customs classification (e.g., 3402.2 for detergents)
  • Export Markets Served – Mention countries you already export to

Step 8: Packaging & Logistics Details

Provide accurate packaging information:

  • Unit Size (e.g., 100ml, 1kg)
  • Case Pack (e.g., 6x500ml per carton)
  • Shelf Life (in months)
  • Barcode (GTIN/EAN-13) – Required for retail scanning

Step 9: Production & Capacity

This section helps buyers evaluate your supply capability:

  • Production Capacity (units/month) – Indicate how much you can manufacture monthly
  • Notes – Add any other important details such as seasonal availability, private label options, or certifications (ISO, GMP, Halal, etc.)

Tips for a High-Quality Listing

  1. Use high-resolution product photos (front, back, and lifestyle images).
    • Product must be on a white background and fill about 80% of the image.
  2. Be transparent with pricing and MOQs – this saves time in negotiations.
  3. Highlight certifications (organic, fair trade, ISO, GMP) as they build buyer trust.
  4. Update listings regularly if packaging, pricing, or capacity changes.
  5. Write in professional, export-oriented language to show readiness for global markets.
