For additional information that is not found in this document, you can reference our Canada Supplier site: www.nordstromsuppliercanada.com. Please note, the NPG Canada Supplier Manual is intended to be used in conjunction with the existing NPG requirements located on the Nordstrom Supplier site: www.nordstromsupplier.com Each supplier is assigned a ‘status’ (e.g. VI, NI-FOB, NI-FCA, EXW) based on their current Canada capabilities. Vendor Imports (VI) – is a Nordstrom classification of Suppliers for Canada, indicating the Supplier will deliver merchandise to Canada without Nordstrom assistance. The Supplier will take care of all associated import liability and duty costs and may use a Subsidiary, Distributor or other means. Nordstrom Imports – Free on Board (NI-FOB)**– is a Nordstrom classification of Suppliers for Canada indicating that the Supplier pays for transportation of goods to the consolidation point, including origin charges. Nordstrom will be responsible for the cost of freight transport, insurance, unloading and transportation from the consolidation point to the final destination, customs clearance, duty and taxes, and act as importer of record. Nordstrom Import – Free Carrier (NI-FCA) for US Sourced only** – is a Nordstrom classification of Suppliers for Canada, indicating the Supplier is not able to deliver merchandise to Canada themselves, and that Nordstrom will be responsible to import the Supplier merchandise from the US into Canada. Nordstrom will incur the costs and liability for international transportation, customs clearance, duty and taxes, and act as importer of record. Nordstrom Imports – Ex Works (NI-EXW)**– is a Nordstrom classification of Suppliers for Canada indicating that Nordstrom takes possession of the merchandise at the supplier’s factory or warehouse. Nordstrom will be responsible for all risk and costs associated with the pickup and transportation from the pickup point to the final destination including customs clearance, duty and taxes, and act as importer of record. THE STATUS DETERMINES KEY NEXT STEPS IN THE SHIPPING PROCESS STATUS VI (Vendor Imports) goods into CA • Nordstrom takes possession of product in CA (CA Sourced) WHAT IT MEANS CANADA Domestic Canada supplier that fulfills orders in CA Distributor Subsidiary 3rd Party company that fulfills order in CA Company within the ‘Parent’ company that fulfills order in CA NI- FOB • Nordstrom takes possession of goods off-shore NI - FCA • Nordstrom takes possession of goods in the US NI - EXW • Nordstrom takes possession of goods off-shore Supplier pays for all costs up to delivery to origin consolidator Supplier pays for all costs up to turnover of freight in the US Nordstrom pays for all costs after pickup from supplier factory or warehouse DDP (Deliver Duty Paid) Supplier fulfills order, imports into CA and delivers to our CA DC. (‘importer of record’ & pays duties & taxes at borders`) Must itemize GST/HST as line item on invoice **HTS Codes (Harmonized Tariff Schedule) – When Nordstrom acts as the Importer of Record, HTS codes are assigned when production specs are finalized per style. Please see the NPG Supplier Procedures Manual for details on information required from suppliers. 3 NPG | CANADA SUPPLIER MANUAL Order Details Purchase Orders Process – Purchase orders for Canada will be separate from the US and will be written by your existing Nordstrom contacts and using the existing the supplier/vendor number. Vendor specific UPC/EAN numbers will be used in writing orders where appropriate. Under no circumstances can merchandise from more than one PO be put in the same carton. GST/HST Canada – For suppliers who are Delivered Duty Paid (DDP), it is required that they specify costs for GST/HST as a separate line item on the invoice. PO Changes – Nordstrom is excited to be able to offer additional functionality with regards to PO changes for our Canada orders. Suppliers will now have the option to receive just the changes via the 860 or an 850 full replacement (850FR). Please note it is one or the other. Nordstrom will be unable to switch back and forth between the types of changes. NPG vendors currently set up to receive the 850FR will continue to receive the 850FR in the current scheduled manner. PLEASE NOTE: NI-FOB Suppliers must become EDI enabled with one of the two NPG certified providers and will only receive the 850FR. They do not have the option of receiving the 860. Store Pack Orders – All Canada orders must be packed by store. • Pack merchandise by store in purchase order sequence. • Do not mix merchandise for more than one store within the same carton. • Do not put merchandise from more than one purchase order in the same carton. • Mixed colors and sizes in a Store Pack carton are permitted. • Store markings are required on store packed orders. Ticketing – For Canada ticketing details, please reference the Canada Purchase Order. It is the manufacturer’s responsibility to ticket merchandise with the tickets that come on each PO. Please do not mix tickets from other orders as Canada and US tickets will look the same except with different retail prices. Payments – For terms of sale FOB (country outside of US or Canada) or EXW: • Bill to party must be Nordstrom Canada Retail Inc. address: 1301 2nd Ave, Suite 300, Seattle, WA 98101 • Consignee for shipments imported by Nordstrom must be Nordstrom Canada Retail Inc. • Send 2 copies of commercial invoice, 1 summary packing list, and a copy of the FCR or AWB in PDF format by email to: [email protected] • Payments will be made per the terms of the Purchase Order • GST/HST costs must be noted as a separate line item Consolidation – The booking process for Canada orders is the same as for US bound Purchase Orders. Details are outlined in the International Shipping section of the NPG Procedures Manual. Please deliver both Canada and US orders together to the forwarder when possible as this will help minimize vendor paid origin consolidation charges. When delivering both US and Canada Purchase Orders, you must keep the Canada and US cartons separate and provide the required commercial documents for each shipment destination. 4 NPG | CANADA SUPPLIER MANUAL Distribution Center and Canada Store Details Distribution Center and Store Numbers – Nordstrom will be using 3rd party logistics provider National Logistics Services (NLS).

A NRI is a business located outside of Canada that ships goods to customers in Canada. A NRI is the importer of record and is responsible for payment of duties/taxes. This also includes record keeping requirements and compliance. More detailed information can be found at Canada Revenue Agency’s website: http://www.craarc.gc.ca/E/pub/gp/rc4027/README.html. Being an NRI allows companies to compete in the Canadian market without the need for capital investment in Canada, such as manufacturing and distribution facilities and sales offices. Key considerations: • Business Number • Valuation • HS Tariff Classification • Tariff Treatment • Goods and Services Tax (GST) • Canadian Customs Clearance • Maintenance of Records • Compliance Need Help? It is highly recommended you contact a Broker for assistance in becoming NRI and GST registered. Below are a few Brokers who can help: Expeditors Canada Inc.

vendor/supplier relationships have always been a very valuable part of our business. We are dedicated to ensure that our supplier standards are in agreement with the current direction of the retail industry. We support Industry-wide technologies that utilize Universal Product Code (U.P.C.), Electronic Data Interchange (EDI), Voluntary Inter-industry Commerce Standards (VICS), and the GS1 CA standards. Through the use of this technology and guidelines, Nordstrom can expedite merchandise through the Supply Chain ensuring an expedited flow from partners to the selling floor, better management of inventories, increased sales and enhanced customer service. This, in turn, will allow us to continue to build a more successful and mutually profitable partnership with our suppliers. Our required standards meet basic industry practices. Your partnership is critical in making this technology work successfully. How to Get Started What is EDI? – EDI stands for Electronic Data Interchange. It is the computer-to-computer exchange of business documents between companies, using a public standard format. Rather than sending paper via fax or mail, users of EDI can exchange business data directly between computers. Attention New Suppliers – In order to comply with our program, you must meet all of the requirements for doing business. If you do not have your technology program in place, please contact Merchandise Information Compliance department at (877) 444-1313. We expect all shipments to be in compliance with the basic industry standards as outlined in this manual. Non-compliance will result in an expense offset fee. See Expense Offset Policies in this manual. Industry Standard References There are many resources for helping an organization use EDI. The table below lists a few of the organizations that can help companies get information in preparation to do EDI.

Canadian Resources Fur Guidelines Nordstrom expects all of its business suppliers to comply with the applicable laws and regulations of Canada, as well as those of the respective country of manufacture or exportation. As a Nordstrom supplier, you are expected to review, understand and comply with these laws and regulations.

To maintain the high caliber of these relationships and to achieve our goal of always providing the best value product in the most equitable manner, we have established standards for our business Suppliers. In communicating these guidelines, we hope to identify potential Suppliers who share our commitment to quality products, quality business principles and quality community relationships. We will only engage business Suppliers who demonstrate a commitment to contribute to the improvement of working conditions and strive to meet our requirements stated in the Nordstrom Partnership Guidelines. LEGAL REQUIREMENTS Nordstrom expects all of its business Suppliers (“Suppliers” as used in these Partnership Guidelines shall include all agents, vendors, manufacturers, factories and subcontractors) to comply with the applicable laws and regulations of the United States, Canada and those of the respective country of manufacture or exportation, including, but not limited to, the Fair Labor Standards Act (Department of Labor Monitoring Guide). All products must be accurately labeled and clearly identified as to their country of origin and content. The language to be used for purposes of notice and interpreting the meaning of these guidelines shall be English. For more information on these and other requirements, please visit www.nordstromsupplier.com.

Employees shall not be required to lodge “deposits” or identity papers upon commencing employment with the company. CHILD LABOR Suppliers will not employ anyone under the age of 15, and / or younger than the age of completing compulsory education, or under the minimum ages established by applicable law in the country of manufacture, if higher than the age of 15.

These provisions must include safe and healthy conditions for dormitories and residential facilities, and they must comply with local health and safety laws and standards. HOURS OF WORK / OVERTIME While permitting flexibility in scheduling, we will identify local legal limits on work hours and seek Suppliers who do not exceed them except for appropriately compensated overtime.

Nordstrom Supplier Compliance Manual Section 1: Introduction 16 Vendor Administered Quality Procedures Vendors are responsible for shipping first quality merchandise. In order to ensure that only first quality goods are received in our facilities, we recommend that you use an integrated total quality program that includes: Incoming materials inspection and testing Statistical in-process auditing Final 100% inspection Final statistical auditing of each production lot after packaging For the final audit, we recommend that you use the Single Sample Plan Level II (Normal), Acceptable Quality Level 4.0. Measurement of the product must be included in the inspection and auditing process. Material Safety Data sheet (MSDS) A completed MSDS sheet must be sent to 808 Traffic ([email protected]) prior to shipping “hazardous materials”. Attached is an example MSDS Sheet. All sections must be completed including: • Transportation • Identification • Hazard(s) identification • Fire-fighting measures • Accidental release measures • Physical and chemical properties • Disposal considerations MSDS EXAMPLE This information can be found on the United States Department of Labor Website. http://www.osha.gov/dsg/hazcom/msdsformat.html A hazardous material is defined as a substance or material that has been determined by the Department of Transportation to be capable of posing an unreasonable risk to health, safety and property when in transportation. Materials that are hazardous to the environment (i.e., hazardous substance, hazardous wastes, and marine pollutants) are also regulated. Hazardous Materials include but are not limited to many home surface cleaners, cosmetics, home diffusers, aerosols, anything containing a lithium battery. Do you have lithium button cells or batteries in your watch? • If no, please ship merchandise as normal. • If yes, please provide as much of the following information as possible in your MSDS: • Do you have the product data sheet on the battery? • Do you have manufacturer, type and model#? • Do you have any warranty info and specs on types of replacement batteries which would be acceptable? Nordstrom Supplier Compliance Manual Section 1: Introduction 17 Please send to 808 traffic. It is the responsibility of the person who initiates the shipment of a material to determine (or seek assistance to determine) if the material meets the definition of a hazardous material. Each vendor, prior to shipping product to Nordstrom, is required to know if the product meets this definition. Nordstrom requires an MSDS sheet that includes the completed transportation section for any product that meets this definition and is therefore regulated as a hazardous material by the DOT be sent to us prior to shipping the product to any of our facilities. Liquid hazardous material items must have the cap sufficiently sealed to prevent possible loosening or leakage during transportation (such as heat seal or other secondary means of closure).

ASNs are not required for “no charge” merchandise shipped in this manner. • “No charge” merchandise shipped in any other manner, including loose within cases containing retail merchandise must have valid UPC’s within the Nordstrom inventory system and must be accurately represented within the ASN for that shipment. • Expense offset fees will be accessed for inaccurate ASNs containing “no charge” merchandise that do not meet these requirements. Vendor Accuracy Audit Program Nordstrom uses warehouse management technology to receive merchandise via the vendor’s ASN. Vendors must make every effort to ensure that shipments are 100% accurate. Nordstrom’s audit program samples a percentage of all shipments received against the corresponding ASN to monitor accuracy. If the sample does not match what was indicated per the ASN an inaccurate offset expense will result. Re-transmitting ASN Data ASN data can be retransmitted to Nordstrom at any time prior to the shipment’s arrival in the distribution center. To ensure correct retransmission the new or corrected ASN must maintain the same sub-bill of lading value PO/DC combination as the original. This is the value sent in the REF/BM. This will allow the “new” ASN to overwrite the original ASN in our warehouse management system. If the “new” data reaches our warehouse management system before the warehouse personnel begin to process the shipment and all other information within the transmission is accurate, no expense offset fee should be incurred. However, if the shipment arrives before the “new” ASN is received the shipment will be received with the original ASN data. Please note, to avoid duplication errors, we advise waiting 60 minutes before re-transmitting the corrected EDI 856. NOTE: Nordstrom sends a 997 (functional acknowledgment) back within 24 hours for any inbound file we receive. Please be aware a 997 indicates receipt of a file only. A 997 does not indicate the data was processed through Nordstrom’s warehouse management system successfully. To ensure Nordstrom is receiving any 856 files from your company, please be sure to monitor your 997’s Nordstrom Supplier Compliance Manual Section 2: EDI Requirements 27 SECTION 3 INVOICING AND CLAIMS Enrollment and testing are required prior to sending an invoice (810) transmission. Suppliers may rd conduct EDI in-house or via a 3 party service bureau. Please contact our Merchandise Information Compliance Department at (877) 444-1313 (option 2), or email [email protected] for enrollment and testing procedures. For questions regarding EDI transmission problems, contact our EDI department at (877) 444-1313 (option 3) or email [email protected]. Non-EDI vendors, please mail original paper invoices to the following address: Nordstrom Accounts Payable PO Box 91176 Seattle, WA 98111-9276 Invoice Requirements We require ONE invoice per PO, per destination (‘DC’ for DC shipments, or ‘Store’ on direct to store shipments), per shipment (if multiple shipments per PO). A non-compliance expense offset fee of $10 per invoice will be assessed for every non-consolidated invoice (i.e., whenever multiple invoices are sent per shipment, per ‘ship-to’ location). The following information is required on all Merchandise Invoices (EDI and non-EDI): • Purchase Order Number (8 digit identifier) • Vendor Number • Invoice Date (which should be the ship date of the merchandise) • Unique Invoice Number • Department Number • Payment Terms • Store Number: (N1-ST field on 810) ‘sold to’ store # (or DC # on DC shipments) • ‘Ship To’ Location: (N1-BY field on 810) Distribution Center or Store Number to which merchandise was shipped • Style Numbers and the Number of Units per style • Unit Cost and Total Cost per style • Total Units shipped (per invoice, excluding ‘back ordered’ or ‘no charge’ items) • Total Cost, special charges itemized separately • Do NOT include freight charges (see ‘Freight Invoicing and Reimbursement’ section below) Notes: Invoices missing any of the required fields or which include freight charges will be rejected. We require ONE invoice, per PO, per destination (per shipment if multiple shipments per PO). Nordstrom sends a 997 (functional acknowledgment) back within 24 hours for any inbound file we receive. Please be aware a 997 indicates receipt of a file only. A 997 does not indicate the data was processed through Nordstrom’s AP system successfully. To ensure Nordstrom is receiving any 810 files from your company, please be sure to monitor your 997’s. Should an invoice sent via EDI reject from Nordstrom’s AP system, as a courtesy, Nordstrom will email you within 2 weeks of receiving the transmitted data. Nordstrom Supplier Compliance Manual Section 3: Invoicing and Claims 28 Invoices for REPAIRS, SAMPLES and FREIGHT should NOT be transmitted EDI. Please send REPAIR invoices to the Department Manager at the store ordering the repair. Please send SAMPLE invoices to the Buyer who requested the sample. DUPLICATE INVOICES Invoices sent with the same invoice number and invoice date will reject out of our Accounts Payable system as a duplicate invoice. If an invoice needs to be sent for additional monies owed, a new invoice number must be sent. Invoice numbers should not be ‘recycled’; doing so will necessitate a manual correction and subsequent expense offset fee, and the potential for a delay in payment. RETRANSMISSION OF INVOICES NOT IN AP SYSTEM Our technical team is only capable of viewing invoices transmitted within the past 30 days. If the status of an invoice that has been sent before this time period is needed send a request to the Accounts Payable department at [email protected]. If the invoice is ‘Not Found’ please retransmit the invoice and email our EDI Technical group at [email protected] with your AP vendor number, invoice number, transmission date, and ISA number. The EDI Group can then monitor the invoice transmission to ensure the data has been received and loaded into our Accounts Payable system Invoice and Claim Inquiries 12-month time limit on all inquiries Payment information can be found on the Accounts Payable Vendor Inquiry website at http://portal.nordstrom.com. Vendors are asked to use this website as the first point of contact. Followup questions can be directed to the correct department by utilizing the ‘Contact Us’ section of the Accounts Payable Inquiry website. Please include your web findings in your email. Payment Terms Payment terms will be calculated from the receipt of goods at destination (not consolidator) or receipt of th invoice, whichever is later. “End of Month” (EOM) dating for shipments received after the 20 of the month will be considered next month’s business. Payments shall be issued on the next weekly payment run following the due date if documents are received timely. Purchaser reserves the right to offset any amounts claimed by Purchaser against any amounts otherwise due Seller. Response Time All correspondence is worked within 8 business days and in order received; however, there are circumstances that may require additional research time. Please wait three weeks before resubmitting a request. Freight Invoicing and Reimbursement Information on Freight Invoicing and Reimbursement can be found in the ROUTING GUIDE section of this website. Nordstrom Supplier Compliance Manual Section 3: Invoicing and Claims 29 EFT Payment and EDI 820 Payment Remittance Advice Nordstrom offers EFT (electronic funds transfer) as a payment option. EFT payments are issued weekly and efficiently provide access to cash by automating payments directly to your bank account. Payment remittance details are sent separately to your company via the EDI 820 document (Payment Order/Remittance Advice). Activating the EDI 820 document is not a requirement to enroll in the EFT payment option. If your company is not able or chooses not to receive remittance advice detail via EDI 820, payment detail can be provided via email remittance. Please note that payment format is CCD and is included in the BPR segment of the 820. The benefits of EFT payments include: • Improved cash forecasting • Secure and reliable via direct deposit into your bank account • Eco-friendly through reduced paper use If you are working with a factor, you do not need to complete any EFT paperwork, as we will be working with your factor separately to set them up with EFT payments. Nordstrom EDI 820 is sent under the EDI ID of 01/007942915, which is the same ID used to transmit Nordstrom 850 PO and 810 Invoice. We can help initiate the implementation of the 820 document through two options. We can provide a sample file for setup or you have the option to test the 820 document with GXS, our third party enabler. Nordstrom Merch Information Compliance ([email protected]) will be able to assist with either option. Mapping for the EDI 820 can be found under EDI Mapping Documents at www.nordstromsuppliercanada.com. The EFT Payment Setup Form and EDI 820 Setup Form can be found under the ‘Contacts Us & Resources’ section of this website. Please fax the completed forms to 206-233-6331.

These requirements apply to Nordstrom, Inc. and Nordstrom Canada. These guidelines do not supersede or absolve the Supplier’s responsibility for providing proper protective packaging. Nordstrom Direct maintains additional compliance requirements to support their Direct-to-Consumer business model. General Packaging Specifications All Categories of merchandise • Our preferred method of polybagging is multiple pieces per polybag. • Pack merchandise in conveyable cartons. • Do not ship merchandise in envelopes, jiffy, burlap or plastic bags. • Pack each Purchase Order separately. • Do not mix Purchase Orders within the same carton. • Do not mix multiple DCs in a single carton. • All merchandise should be shipped in conveyable corrugated cartons. Store Pack orders Packed by store and shipped to the DC listed in the N1*ST segment according to the Store/DC Table provided in the Routing Guide. • Pack merchandise by store. • Do not mix merchandise for more than one store within the same carton. • Consolidate same styles when possible. • Store pack shipment "mark for" location is the Store. (ASN requirement for store-pack shipments is that there is one ASN for each ship-to location (DC) that the shipment is being sent to. Standard ASN requirements still apply - there must be one ASN per shipment per ship-to location (DC) per day with a unique sub-bill of lading number in the REF*BM segment of the ASN data. In the case of store-packed shipments the "mark-for" segment is the Store.) Bulk-Pack orders Packed by style, color and size and shipped to the specified DC in the PO. Bulk shipments should be packed and marked by the ship to "DC" location. • Pack merchandise by sku • Do not mix merchandise for more than one PO in a carton. • Consolidate by style, color, and size when possible.

Standard ASN requirements still apply - there must be one ASN per shipment per ship-to location (DC) per day with a unique sub-bill of lading number in the REF*BM segment of the ASN data. . In the case of bulk shipments the "mark-for" segment is the DC.) Apparel • Place a single piece of cardboard on the top and bottom of each carton for protection when opening the carton. • Ready to Wear is to be flat packed with the proper VICS hanger inserted in the garment. • Hanger packs may be used for men’s suits. • Carton width must allow the hanger to fit squarely in the carton (not at an angle). Nordstrom Supplier Compliance Manual Section 6: Packaging and Carton Label Requirements 53 Shoes • Pack shoeboxes one box deep and in the same direction with the shoebox labels facing the top of the carton. • Do not double stack. • Micro Mold Chip in each shoe box. • Keep shoe packaging to a minimum. Packaging Materials Nordstrom is an environmentally responsible company. We encourage the use of environmentally sensitive packaging materials (recycled and recyclable). Avoid excess packaging by using material that maximizes protection while minimizing an environmental impact. Acceptable Packaging Materials Cardboard partition/dividers, cardboard fittings, corrugated cardboard, and kraft paper. The use of molded polystyrene, bubble wrap, micro-foam, Instapak foam packaging, and inflated polyethylene air packets is tolerated, but discouraged due to the increasing difficulty of disposing these items. Unacceptable Packaging Materials Expanded polystyrene loose fill “peanuts”, straw, fiberglass, hard plastic, newspaper, and bamboo. Fragile Items: Glass, Stemware, and Ceramics • • • • • • • • Fragile or breakable items must be packed with cushioning material around the top, bottom, and all four sides to limit interior movement and protect against vibration, shock and compression encountered in transit. Barware must be packed in inner packs of 4. Delicate stemware pieces must be individually wrapped in bubble-wrap or 3/32”micro-foam in interior corrugated dividers in inner packs of 4. Fragile items and their component parts must be individually wrapped and padded. Multiple fragile items packed in a carton must be separated with cardboard partition/dividers (no less than 1/8” thickness) to prevent internal contact. Inner cartons must be packed tightly within the master carton to prevent movement in transit Do not over or under pack cartons. Sharp edged items (blades, knives, pruning shears, etc) must be packed with a protective guard or sheath securely attached to the item. Furniture • • • • • Items requiring more than one carton (e.g. a bed and its components) must be marked with the style on the carton in an “x of y” format. For example: if style XYZ requires 3 cartons, then: Carton 1 will be marked: Style XYZ 1 of 3 Carton 2 will be marked: Style XYZ 2 of 3 Carton 3 will be marked: Style XYZ 3 of 3 In such instances, only 1 GS1-128 carton label, on the lead carton, is required. Large component pieces (bed rails, chair legs, table legs, etc.) must be wrapped with protective padding and shipped in a separate carton. Securely cap ends of such pieces with bubble wrap, cardboard, or other appropriate padding material to protect the piece and prevent potential injury in handling such pieces. Furniture must be shipped in a carton. Contact the Floor Ready department at (877) 444-1313 option 1 or email [email protected] for exceptions. Wicker/rattan pieces must arrive with Kraft wrap or thin corrugate wrap for protection. Rugs must be folded and packed in cartons. If a rug cannot be folded, contact the Floor Ready Department at (877) 444-1313 option 1 or email [email protected] for packaging instructions. Nordstrom Supplier Compliance Manual Section 6: Packaging and Carton Label Requirements 54 • • All hardware must be secured in the package. Tape must not come in contact with finished surfaces of product. All boxes should allow for opening to inspect the piece inside, resealing, and shipping to the customer in the same box. Master Packing • • • • • • • • • • The cases for multiple stores can be combined for one purchase order into a Masterpack. Identify carton as Masterpack by writing or labeling “MASTERPACK” (in English). Ship to Address: Receiving DC# and Address PO# Identify inner cartons of the Masterpack by writing the letter “M” beside each GS1-128 carton label. Inner cartons must be store packed and marked by store number Inner cartons must have a GS1-128 shipping label properly affixed. Inner cartons must be made of shippable cardboard. Plastic bags are unacceptable. The Masterpack (outer) carton must comply with the maximum carton weight and dimension requirements. Nordstrom maintains two Masterpack ASN requirements depending on the mode of transportation used. Please review the ASN requirements section of this manual for more information.

Inch (1379 kPa) Single-wall (3 Ply) Corrugated Liner Corrugated Liner Weight and Dimensions Do not ship any single carton larger than the maximum dimension and weight: Maximum Length 36 inches Width 27 inches Height 30 inches Weight 50 lbs Maximum weight allowed for fragile product is 40 lbs. If your product requires cartons that exceed these size and weight requirements, you must contact [email protected] for approval to ship with over size cartons. Carton weight and dimensions must be written on the outer carton in letters 1.5 inches for cartons that exceed the maximum carton dimensions and weight listed above. Pack in a manner that maximizes carton space and minimizes damage during shipping. Over-packing can cause carton bulging and underpacking can cause carton crushing. Nordstrom Supplier Compliance Manual Section 6: Packaging and Carton Label Requirements 55 Carton Sealing • • • • • • Cartons (top and bottom) must be sealed with ONE KIND of tape. Use 2” or 3” (inch) patterned vinyl tape or paper-reinforced security tape. Do not use cellophane or clear tape. Do not consolidate or seal with bands, staples, strings, straps or any sealant other than tape. All tapes must be moisture/temperature resistant and have an adhesive quality that resists drying in transit. The tape pattern (if any) may be anything that will make it easy to determine that the carton seal has been broken. Carton Label Requirements for NON-EDI Shipments • • • • • • • • • • • • • Carton markings must be large enough to be easily read Mark one end and one side of each carton with the following information: Ship to Address: Must include the Receiving DC# and DC Address OR when shipping via CTE, Norcon, or Gilbert East use the carrier’s address only with the DC Number (no DC address) Carton number (format = X of Y by DC) PO number Department number Mark-for Location (*Store Pack=Store # /Bulk Pack= DC #).

............................................................................................... 59 Introduction/Getting Started The Nordstrom Canada Routing Guide provides instructions on carrier selection and shipping specifications for Nordstrom purchase orders intended for delivery to Nordstrom Canada. These instructions are dependent on the shipment classification and the shipment origin/destination as described in subsequent sections of this Guide. The Routing Guide covers transportation instructions only—refer to the Supplier Compliance Manual found at NordstromsupplierCanada.com for packing, carton marking, EDI and many other Floor Ready topics. It is imperative that the shipper follow these instructions carefully in order to make sure that their product is delivered to Nordstrom Canada as timely and efficiently as possible while avoiding shipment refusal at destination and any freight chargebacks that might be assessed as a result of incorrect routing. Please note that the information in this guide is updated periodically and can change without notice. We therefore do not recommend printing any section of this guide. We instead recommend that shippers always refer to the on-line version to make sure that they have the most current information available. Please contact [email protected] if there are specific questions about any of the information provided. Please make sure that the appropriate sections of the Routing Guide have been carefully reviewed prior to contacting us. How to Use This Guide 1) Determine Shipment Classification. See instructions in Section 1. 2) Read Section 2, “Shipping Guidelines” for an overview of Nordstrom shipment specifications and requirements. 3) Locate the Routing Instructions, based on your Shipment Classification in Section 3—“Routing Instructions by Shipment Classification”—to determine the authorized carrier. 4) Once your carrier has been determined, refer to Section 4—Carrier Pages and locate the selected carrier’s information page. Follow those instructions in order to create your shipment and arrange pickup from the selected carrier. 5) Refer to the Appendix links on nordstromsupplierCanada.com for examples of the various documents you may need. Section 1: Shipment Classification To determine the Shipment Classification of a Purchase Order (PO), first determine your shipment origin, then locate the following fields on your Nordstrom purchase order, and note the terms listed: · Purchase Type · Shipping Method · Title Pass Location From the table below, select the appropriate Shipment Classification based on the listed Nordstrom Canada PO terms: Shipment Origin Purchase Type Shipping Method 31 (truck) Canada FCA (Free Carrier) 40 (air) Title Pass Location Shipment Classification Origin (after loading on equipment) Domestic (Canada>Canada) 31 (truck) All DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) Destination (after shipping) All Origins, Delivered Duty Paid 40 (air) 31 (truck) U.S. FCA (Free Carrier) 40 (air) U.S. Origin (after loading on equipment) U.S. Origin, Nordstrom Import Shipment Classification Definitions 1.1 Shipment Classification: Domestic Canadian Suppliers shipping to Nordstrom Canada domestically (i.e. Canada-to-Canada) per Routing Guidelines found in Section 3.1. Nordstrom Canada will be responsible for freight costs for Routing Guide approved shipments unless a Freight Agreement exists between supplier and Nordstrom. Nordstrom Canada Routing Guide SECTION 1: SHIPMENT CLASSIFICATION 1.2 Shipment Classification: All Origins, Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) Suppliers will ship on their carrier of choice from any origin, delivering to Nordstrom Canada per Routing Guidelines found in Section 3.2. Nordstrom Canada will not be responsible for transportation costs, duties, taxes or other fees, and will not be Importer of Record for these shipments. 1.3 Shipment Classification: U.S. Origin, Nordstrom Import (NI) NI Shipment Classification suppliers will be tendering freight to Nordstrom Routing Guide-authorized carriers in the United States, based on origin shipping state and shipped weight (see Routing Instructions in Section 3.3). Nordstrom will be responsible for importing the merchandise into Canada, and the freight costs associated with the shipment unless a Freight Agreement exists between the supplier and Nordstrom. Note: International Origin (i.e. outside the U.S. and Canada) “Nordstrom Import (NI)” shipments are not covered by this guide. For instructions on these shipments, see nordstromsupplier.com and follow these links: Nordstrom Product Group/NPG Supplier Procedures Manual/International Shipping Nordstrom Canada Routing Guide SECTION 1: SHIPMENT CLASSIFICATION Section 2: Shipping Guidelines/General Rules The Nordstrom Canada Routing Guide is the only authorized source of instructions about carrier selection, receiving addresses and shipping specifications for Nordstrom purchase orders (PO’s). Nordstrom Buyers may select the shipping method for a PO, but they are not authorized to select the carrier. Failure to comply with this Routing Guide places full liability for loss or damage with the supplier. · Deviation from these instructions without approval from the Nordstrom Corporate Transportation office may result in a charge back, which could include a $100.00 handling charge, to be deducted from the supplier’s invoice. · If the shipper chooses to send a shipment via an unauthorized carrier, the shipment must be sent prepaid, with all charges including any accessorial charges, duties and taxes (if applicable) accessed by the carrier billing to the shipper. For U.S. origin shipments, the shipper will also assume the role of Importer of Record. If the shipper opts for collect billing via an unauthorized carrier, Nordstrom reserves the right to either refuse the shipment or reverse the freight charges back to the shipper. Use of any carrier or shipping method (routing) not specifically authorized in this guide or by Nordstrom Traffic will result in the supplier paying all transportation charges, regardless of whether or not Nordstrom might have incurred lower or higher transportation costs with the unauthorized shipping method. 2.1 Supplier/Shipper Benefits When suppliers follow the Nordstrom Canada Routing Guide instructions on carrier selection and shipping, they enjoy several benefits, including: • Discounted carrier rates when sharing freight costs with Nordstrom Canada • Pre-scheduling and prioritization of shipments for delivery at the Ship-To DC. 2.2 Small Package Shipments In an effort to decrease the number of small package shipments received at our Distribution Center, Nordstrom requests that your shipping dock make every effort to consolidate packages/Purchase Orders from your single shipping location to the Nordstrom DC so that your shipments may meet our standard shipment criteria. 2.3 Collect/Prepaid Shipments · All shipments to Nordstrom (except prepaid and D.D.P. classification shipments) must be sent “Collect“ or “Bill Third-Party” via an appropriate authorized carrier. · Small Package shipments on UPS must be billed to Nordstrom’s Third-Party Bill-To account, (see UPS pages in Section 4 “Carrier Pages” for details). · Shipment Classification “Domestic” or “NI” POs that stipulate “Vendor Pays Total Freight” or those shipments for which a Freight Agreement exists should be shipped “Collect”, or “Bill Third Party” via an authorized carrier per Routing Guide instructions. Nordstrom Canada will deduct Nordstrom Canada Routing Guide SECTION 2: SHIPPING GUIDELINES/GENERAL RULES any freight charges owed from the next check remittance. This is typically advantageous to the shipper, as they are able to take advantage of Nordstrom Canada’s contracted rates and standing delivery appointments provided to our authorized carriers. · Nordstrom Canada will not reimburse shippers for any “prepaid” shipments, whether via authorized or non- authorized carriers. Should you accidentally ship “prepaid” via an authorized carrier, please see section 2.4, “Rebilling” below. · Note: Suppliers are responsible for any loss and/or damage associated with prepaid shipments 2.4 Rebilling If a shipment is accidentally shipped on a “Prepaid” basis instead of “Collect” or “Bill Third Party” basis using one of our authorized carriers, please contact [email protected] and provide the following information: · · · · · · · Shipper name Vendor name/vendor number Carrier used Pro number/tracking number(s) Ship Date Request to rebill to Nordstrom We will contact you within 2 business days regarding your request Note: Rebill requests must be made within 30 days of ship date. Requests made later than 30 days will be denied. 2.5 Freight Chargeback Inquiries · Please note that all freight chargeback inquiries must be made within twelve months of the shipping date. In order to ensure the fastest possible resolution of any disputes, we encourage suppliers to avoid accumulating inquiries for monthly, quarterly, seasonal or annual review and to submit any questions promptly, preferably within 60 days of the shipping date. · A Freight Chargeback Statement listing chargeback reason(s) and itemized shipment information for each chargeback is emailed to vendors after the chargeback has been deducted from their remit check. These statements are emailed using address on file with our CMIO Chargebacks team. If you are currently not in receipt of these emails or you wish additional contacts receive this information please email [email protected] and we can update our records. · If you continue to have questions about your freight chargebacks after receiving the Freight Chargeback Statement, you may send your inquiry along with the Freight Chargeback Statement and supporting documentation (which may include a copy of the signed Bill Of Lading, buyer email, your Freight Contract Agreement, PO showing the freight allowance, etc.) to [email protected] Inquiries on PO’s shipped more than twelve months ago and/or submitted without supporting documentation will not be addressed. Nordstrom Canada Routing Guide SECTION 2: SHIPPING GUIDELINES/GENERAL RULES 2.6 Shipment Consolidation We urge all shippers to consolidate their shipments to the smallest possible number of shipments per week (as PO shipping windows permit). 2.7 Shipment Definitions U.S. Origin to Canada Canadian Origin, Canadian Destination Via conventional carriers, (i.e. LTL, Consolidator, Truckload or Heavyweight Air Freight Carrier): A shipment is defined as all cartons for all POs shipping to a single Nordstrom location on a single day. Each BOL is a shipment. Via Small Package Carrier, (i.e. UPS): A shipment is defined as all cartons for all POs shipping to a single Nordstrom location on a single day. 2.8 Shipping Timeframes (Ship Windows) The PO shipping window (i.e. “earliest ship date” to “latest ship date”, or “not before, not after” dates), indicates the first and last date that merchandise may leave the shipper’s dock. Merchandise shipped outside of this shipping window may be refused by the DC or the carrier, and if accepted by a DC may result in a chargeback. If either the “Not Before” or “Not After” ship window date falls on a weekend or a holiday, the order must be shipped on the weekday following the earliest ship date or prior to the latest ship date in order to be considered valid. NOTE: Prepaid shipments routed via an unauthorized carrier, and all D.D.P. classification shipments must deliver to the designated DC within the purchase order Ship Window. Shipments that are shipped within the Ship Window, but deliver outside the Ship Window, are considered non-compliant and can be refused or accepted with applicable charge-backs applied. If for any reason the supplier cannot meet the latest ship date, an extension may be requested from and granted only by the Nordstrom buyer who owns the Purchase Order. In all cases, the Routing Guide instructions on carrier selection must be followed. Buyers are not authorized to give instructions on carrier selection. Failure to comply with this guideline will result in the supplier being held liable for all freight and handling costs incurred 2.9 PO Verification Nordstrom Order Verification System (NOVS) Shippers may check the status of their PO’s via the Nordstrom Order Verification System (NOVS), which is available on Nordstrom’s Supplier Portal (http://portal.nordstrom.com). Each authorized member of your company who wishes to access NOVS must register and acquire their own user ID and password. Typically your Accounts Receivable Department will have completed the Supplier Portal set-up process and will act as the Administrator for all of your company’s individual accounts. If your company does not currently have access to the Supplier Portal, please contact us at [email protected]. Nordstrom Canada Routing Guide SECTION 2: SHIPPING GUIDELINES/GENERAL RULES All shippers are required to verify their PO’s with the carrier (except UPS small package shipments) at the time of scheduling a pickup for their shipment to Nordstrom. Carriers must verify that the shipper’s PO’s are valid and that they are ready to enter the Nordstrom Transportation pipeline prior to issuing a Pickup Number and scheduling a pickup. Carriers will not schedule a pickup until they have confirmed that the PO’s are valid. While shippers have access to the Nordstrom Order Verification System (NOVS) website, which enables them to check the status of their PO’s, they must also verify their PO’s with the carrier. The validity of a PO is dependent upon the actual ship date, which is the day the carrier signs for the PO’s on the shipping dock. A carrier’s acceptance of a po is not necessarily an indication that the ship window is valid. NOTE: All shippers are required to ship within the Nordstrom PO shipping window. 2.10 Maximum Carton Dimensions/Weights · The maximum cartons dimensions are (in inches) 36x27x30, (in centimeters) 90x70x75 · The maximum weight per carton is 50 lbs, or 25 kg · Please refer to the “Carton and Labeling Requirements” section of the Nordstrom Canada Supplier Compliance Manual found at nordstromsuppliercanada.com for more detailed information. 2.11 Maximum Shipment Weight Limits The following standard shipment weight limits are covered in this guide: · Maximum surface shipment per DC: up to 10,000 pounds (or 4500 kg) or up to 2,000 cubic feet (or 60 cubic meters) · Maximum air shipment per DC: 1,000 pounds (or 450 kg) If your shipment exceeds 10,000 pounds (or 4500 kg) per DC or 2,000 cubic feet (or 60 cubic meters) per DC, please review the Volume Shipments guidelines found in section 2.12 below. 2.12 Volume Shipments Contact Nordstrom at least 3 business days prior to your requested ship date for instructions on surface shipments (per DC) weighing more than 10,000 lbs (or 4500 kg) or having a cubic measure greater than 1,800 cubic feet (or 50 cbm) or air shipments weighing more than 1,000 lbs (or 450 kg). · To schedule a volume load pick up, please email [email protected] or call the 877444-1313 option 4 option 2. · Your shipping dock must be accessible to a standard 53 foot tractor-trailer combination. · Cartons are to be floor loaded into the trailers. If the entire load will fit on the trailer using pallets this can be allowed, but only if the pallets are not double stacked. (Note: Nordstrom cannot offer a pallet exchange for pallets tendered). Loads that are received double stacked may incur an unloading chargeback. The chargeback amount will be deducted from your invoice. Nordstrom Canada Routing Guide SECTION 2: SHIPPING GUIDELINES/GENERAL RULES · When shipping multiple PO’s, we ask that you make every effort to load by PO number, keeping all PO’s in close proximity to facilitate ease of count confirmation at the DC receiving dock. · Carriers typically allow two hours load time per trailer. Detention time begins after the second hour. The vendor must make every effort to load the trailer within two hours. In cases of extreme detention, the vendor may be subject to a chargeback to cover the resulting detention charges. If applicable, this charge would be deducted from your invoice. · Any add-on cartons to the shipment must be either emailed to [email protected] or called in to 877-444-1313,option 4,option 2 prior to pick up. · Do not list a released value or any other declared value on the bill of lading. · Bills of lading must be marked with the designated DC number and address. · The shipper must apply a numbered seal to all loads and this number must be noted on the bill of lading. Failure to properly seal the trailer transfers all shortage liability to the shipper. If you have any questions about volume shipments, please call 877-444-1313 option 4, option 2. 2.13 Declaration of Value Do not declare value on surface or air shipments, except when shipping Jewelry or Watches to departments 68, 72, 89,214 and 589. See: Jewelry/Watch Shipping Procedures (in Section 5.2 “Special Handling”). 2.14 Palletization of Freight Nordstrom does not require the palletization of cartons for shipping. We recommend you consult with the carrier about palletizing prior to arranging a pickup. If you choose to palletize, please follow these instructions: Shipments via Nordstrom Canada authorized LTL carriers or CTE: · All cartons on the pallet must be plainly visible to allow for accurate carton count. · DO NOT mix cartons for different DC’s on the same pallet · Stack the heaviest weight cartons on the bottom row · Loading the pallet more than six feet high is not recommended; use your best judgment based on burst strength of the cartons being stacked and overall stability of the pallet when building the pallet. · After carrier has counted the cartons on the pallet, shrink-wrap the pallet using heavyweight film wrapped as tightly as possible to ensure stability, especially including any single cartons on the top row. Use clear plastic film. Nordstrom Canada Routing Guide SECTION 2: SHIPPING GUIDELINES/GENERAL RULES · Nordstrom requires its carriers to sign for cartons. If a carrier is unable to confirm the number of cartons tendered for any reason (i.e. due to carton stacking method or lack of visibility for shrink wrapped pallets), shipper must either resolve the conditions that prevent the carrier from an accurate count, or accept responsibility for any shortages upon delivery to Nordstrom. · Absolutely do not mark or note the Bill of Lading: “x pallets said to contain y number of cartons.” If freight is tendered to a Nordstrom carrier in a “Said To Contain” manner and the correct number of pallets are received, all carton shortages will be treated as a vendor short- shipment. · Your Bill of Lading must contain a total carton count by DC, and the number of pallets by DC that are being shipped. Shippers must require the driver to sign for the total carton and pallet count by DC that they are receiving for all live-loaded shipments. · You must list the pallet weight separately on the BOL by DC, i.e. “2 pallets, 50 lb pallet weight”. · Note: Nordstrom cannot offer a pallet exchange for any palletized shipments. Shipments via Nordstrom carriers Norcon or Gilbert East: · All cartons on the pallet must be plainly visible to allow for accurate carton count. · Cartons for DC 868/869 cannot be mixed with cartons for any other DC on the same pallet.

Note: The Nordstrom Canada Third-Party Account is different than the account used for shipments from the U.S. to Nordstrom U.S. Distribution Centers. · Please provide your supplier number, contact information and p.o. number(s) you are shipping. We will email our 3rd Party Account and Address to you no later than the next business day after receiving your email. If you are shipping on behalf of a supplier (i.e. 3rd Party Warehouse/Shipper) please advise what supplier you are shipping on behalf of, the po number(s) you are shipping, and your contact information. · Once we have provided you with the account number, please keep it in a secure location and use it for all Nordstrom UPS shipments going forward. Should we change the UPS account number for any reason, we will update the Routing Guide alert section on the home page of Nordstrom Canada Routing Guide SECTION 4: CARRIER PAGES NordstromsupplierCanada.com. You will then need to follow the above process to receive the new account number. Please check the Routing Guide regularly to be sure to get any updates. Note: This account will only be valid for shipping Nordstrom purchase orders. UPS will re-bill the charges for any incorrect use of this account to the shipper’s account, along with a per-package rebilling fee. UPS General Instructions · You must use the 3rd Party Bill To account number to bill third party to Nordstrom. · In order to transmit electronic Package Level Detail (PLD) for each shipment, you must use a UPS shipping system, such as World Ship, UPS Internet, or a UPS compatible shipping system. · It is important to complete the “End of Day” process when using UPS systems like World Ship at least once per day for your shipment data to be transmitted to UPS. This is a critical step that is needed to ensure your packages are shipped and received without delay. Failure to perform this task could result in a freight chargeback due to incorrect pickup date being shown on the tracking information reported by UPS to Nordstrom. · The use of hand-written air bills is not authorized. Your shipment could be delayed or returned unless system-generated shipping labels are created using a UPS system or UPS-compatible shipping systems. · Important: The day your UPS shipment is created is the date that is transmitted to Nordstrom as the actual ship date. Keep this in mind if you are creating UPS labels prior to actual ship date, as it could result in a charge back if the reported ship date falls outside the p.o. ship window. · All packages must have the Nordstrom Canada PO number (example: “12345678”) clearly entered in the “Reference 1” field of the shipping system and appear on the shipping label. If you do not have a daily pickup from UPS: When preparing a shipment on UPS World Ship system, and scheduling a pickup for your packages on line, only request a pickup for the first package you process. DO NOT request more than one pickup per day. Please be sure that the UPS shipping label does not cover up the GS1-128 carton label. We suggest that all small package shippers track each shipment to delivery. · · · Important If Nordstrom is paying the freight charges for your shipment, DO NOT ship on your own account and ask that Nordstrom reimburse you—we must have UPS charges billed to our account in order to receive our contracted rates. Service Selection For shipments to Nordstrom Canada, you may use the following based on the mode of transportation listed on the po. Nordstrom Canada Routing Guide SECTION 4: CARRIER PAGES · If PO specifies “Air”, use UPS Express Saver service level. · If PO specifies “Surface”, use UPS Standard service level. Please contact [email protected] prior to shipping if you are being requested to use any other service level unless previously authorized by either Nordstrom Traffic or Nordstrom Expedite teams. Nordstrom will not pay for use of any other service level without prior permission. UPS Claims/Liability The shipper must file all cargo claims with UPS directly. · The shipper is responsible for all loss and damage regardless of the purchase order terms. Nordstrom Canada pays for merchandise that is received in good repair only. If your shipment is never received or is received short or damaged, the balance of your invoice must be covered by your cargo claim with UPS. UPS allows a timeline of 9 months from the day of delivery or from the scheduled day of delivery if delivery was not made for the filing of claims for domestic packages. · International package claims must be filed within 60 days of the date of delivery. Liability Limits: UPS liability limits for air and ground shipments (U.S. origin > Canada, Canada origin>Canada) is $100 per package or actual value of the contents of the package, whichever is less. Damage Claims: Concealed damage must be reported to UPS within 9 months of the date of delivery (Domestic) and within 60 days of the date of delivery (International). A written claim must be submitted to UPS for standard Limit of Liability loss and damage claims. Time Limit for Filing Claims for Loss or Damage to Property As a condition precedent to recovery, all claims for loss or damage to property must be filed in writing or electronically with UPS within the following time limits: · Domestic shipments, claims must be filed within nine months after delivery of the package or in case of failure to make delivery then within nine months after a reasonable time for delivery has elapsed. · International shipments, claims must be filed within sixty days after delivery of the package or in the case of non-delivery, within sixty days after a reasonable time for delivery has elapsed. · Written claims must be sent to UPS (address on the UPS Claim form found at https://www.ups.com/myups) Attn: Cargo Claims. Nordstrom Canada Routing Guide SECTION 4: CARRIER PAGES · Shippers tendering unauthorized packages are responsible for paying the list rate charges published by UPS. Verification of Delivery Nordstrom strongly recommends that Proof of Delivery (POD) inquiries be made within 90 days of the ship date. It is always best to verify delivery within two weeks of the ship date. Additional Instructions for Shipment Classification: U.S. Origin, Nordstrom Import (NIA) Required Export Documentation: · HTS Number (Harmonized Trade Schedule)—if available · Commercial Invoice per purchase order With these documents you will be able to successfully create shipping labels on any UPS or UPScompliant shipping system. If you do not have the HTS number for the items being shipped, and have previously completed the Nordstrom Pre-Classification form for these items, you may create your UPS Shipping labels on a UPS system (like UPS.com, or UPS WorldShip). These systems help the shipper create the required export documentation on-line. Please select the link titled “Creating a UPS Export Shipment” on nordstromsupplierCanada.com for specific instructions on how to create your shipments. If you do not have the HTS number for the item(s) being shipped, and have NOT previously completed the Nordstrom Pre-Classification form, you must complete the Pre-Classification form BEFORE you ship. Your shipment will be refused or returned to you if you ship without having completed this form. For assistance, please contact [email protected] Tips: · For multiple carton shipments of the same purchase order on the same day, create a “shipment” by purchase order when creating the UPS shipping labels. Your Commercial invoice and other export documentation would apply to this shipment. · When creating the Commercial Invoice document on line with a UPS shipping system (or compatible system), it is not necessary to attach a paper copy of that invoice to the shipping carton. Your invoice will be created electronically and transmitted with the package data. Nordstrom Canada Routing Guide SECTION 4: CARRIER PAGES Section 5: Shipments Requiring Special Handling The shipment types discussed in this section require special handling above and beyond the general shipping guidelines. 5.1 Dangerous Goods Shippers are legally and solely responsible for identifying, packaging, marking, labeling and documenting each Dangerous Goods shipment. Documentation for all Air shipments must be in compliance with IATA regulations, Ground or Surface shipments must comply with 49 CFR or Transport Canada regulations depending on origin. Shippers must also comply with any additional government regulations in effect at the time of shipment. · Shipments from the U.S. to Canada must comply with all applicable 49CFR/IATA regulations. · Shipments within Canada must comply with all applicable Transport Canada Transportation of Dangerous Goods (“TDG”) regulations. 5.2 Jewelry and Watch Shipping Procedures Shipment Classifications These instructions apply to both “Domestic” and “Nordstrom Import” shipment classifications. There are additional instructions for “Nordstrom Import” shipments listed below. Nordstrom purchase orders that consist of jewelry and watch items destined for departments 68, 72, 89, 214, 533 and 589 require Declared Value protection based on the invoice value at the time of shipment. Nordstrom’s authorized carrier for these shipments is UPS. All jewelry and watch po’s shipping to Nordstrom Canada for these departments will ship direct-to-store. See Section 9 for a list for store addresses. Shipping Jewelry and Watches via UPS When shipping jewelry or watches via UPS, it is very important that the correct packaging, labeling and account number be used. All of these instructions are designed to ensure that your shipment arrives at its destination without loss, damage or delay. Shippers must follow these instructions exactly in order to be reimbursed for lost or damaged packages. Failure to do so will result in the shipper being liable for any loss or damage incurred with the shipment. Creating a UPS shipment · You must create your UPS shipment on a UPS system like World-Ship, I-Ship, UPS.com, or other UPS-Package-Level Detail compliant shipping system, and use a system-generated shipping label on each carton. Hand-written awb’s or shipping labels are not permitted, and if used will result in the shipper being liable for any loss, damage or delay. Nordstrom Canada Routing Guide SECTION 5: SHIPMENTS REQUIRING SPECIAL HANDLING · An “end of day” manifest upload must be performed at least daily, to make sure that the shipment details are uploaded to UPS. Failing to do so could result in delayed visibility to tracking information for your packages, or denial of declared value coverage by UPS in the event of loss or damage. Check with UPS if you have any questions about this process, and to confirm that your system is compatible. · The Nordstrom po number you are shipping must be entered in one of the Reference Fields of the shipping label. · The Nordstrom department number, found on your purchase order, must also be entered in one of the reference fields, i.e. “Dept. 89”, or “Dept 214” etc. · Do not include p.o. number or department number on the same line as the consignee name/address of your shipping label. This information belongs in the reference fields as described above. · For packages that will contain items with a declared value of $1,000 or more, it is recommended that you create a duplicate shipping label per carton by using the “reprint label” function of your shipping system. This duplicate label will be applied to the inner carton (see “Packaging Procedures” below) as extra protection in case the label on the outer shipping carton is somehow damaged or removed. · IMPORTANT: Do NOT create a new shipping label for this task—make sure you are only reprinting (or photocopying) an existing label. Service Level Use UPS Worldwide Expedited service level when creating your shipping labels. You may ship on any business weekday except Friday. High-value packages should not be in transit over a weekend or holiday. Nordstrom UPS 3rd Party Account Number Use Nordstrom’s Third-Party UPS inbound account number for all fine jewelry/watch shipments to Nordstrom Canada. Contact Nordstrom at [email protected] to receive the correct UPS account number. Please provide the following information when requesting the Nordstrom Account number: · · · · Vendor name Shipper name (if different than vendor name) Nordstrom p.o. number that you will be shipping State in your message that you are a Fine Jewelry shipper Nordstrom will respond with the account number as soon as possible, but not later than the next business day. This account number must be used to bill freight and declared value charges third-party; “Collect” or “Bill Receiver” options will not be accepted, and will result in charges being billed directly to the shipper by UPS. Nordstrom Canada Routing Guide SECTION 5: SHIPMENTS REQUIRING SPECIAL HANDLING Note: This account will only be valid for shipping Nordstrom purchase orders. UPS will re-bill the charges for any incorrect use of this account to the shipper’s account, along with a per-package rebilling fee. Declared Value Guidelines It is very important that all shipments for Fine Jewelry departments destined for Nordstrom Canada be shipped with values declared per below table. IMPORTANT: Nordstrom will not reimburse shippers for loss or damaged shipments for which our Declared Value guidelines were not followed. Invoice Value (U.S. or CAN Dollars) per Package Value to Declare $100-$299 Do not declare value $300-$1,999 Actual invoice value $2,000-$4,999 $5,000 $5,000-$50,000 Actual Invoice Value If the invoice value is more than $50,000 per package, split the shipment between as many packages as required to keep the maximum declared value per package at $50,000 or less. If the shipment cannot be split (i.e. one item valued at more than $50,000) please contact [email protected] for instructions on how to ship. Customer-Owned Goods/Repaired Items Contact [email protected] for routing instructions for Customer-Owned merchandise. Packaging Procedures All jewelry and watch shipments sent to Nordstrom Canada via UPS must be double boxed to ensure that they are securely packaged. Please follow these shipping and packaging procedures exactly: · · · Place the jewelry and/or watch item(s) in a plastic bag. Place the plastic bag in a UPS Small Box or other sturdy corrugated cardboard carton, taping the bag to the bottom of the carton to prevent any rattling or shifting inside the box. Mark the top of this inner box with the correct Nordstrom store number, PO number and department number. If you created a duplicate shipping label (as recommended in “Creating a UPS Shipment” above), apply the extra label to the inner carton---this will allow UPS to deliver the carton should the shipping label on the outer carton become damaged or lost. Nordstrom Canada Routing Guide SECTION 5: SHIPMENTS REQUIRING SPECIAL HANDLING · · · Verify the shipping value and contents per your company’s security procedures and seal the box. Place the small box inside a UPS medium or large box or other sturdy corrugated cardboard carton, adding packing material as needed to prevent the inner box from moving during transit, and then seal the outer box. Attach the UPS shipping label to the top of the outer carton. Carton Markings The outside of the shipping carton must not provide any indication (including label or brand names) that the shipment may contain jewelry, watches or other high value items. In addition to the shipping label (see “Creating a UPS Shipment” above), each carton should be marked with the following information: · · · · Nordstrom Canada p.o. number Nordstrom store number Nordstrom Department Number (i.e. “D 89”, “D 214” etc) Write on the carton the month shipped, as the month number with a circle around it. (i.e. a package shipped in December would be represented by a circled number “12”) Do NOT use a UPS Drop-Box or UPS Store for shipment. You must contact UPS and ask for a pickup if you do not already have a daily pickup with UPS. Additional Instructions for Shipment Classification: Nordstrom Import (NIA) Required Export Documentation: · Commercial Invoice per purchase order · See UPS Carrier Pages in Section 4 for general instructions for this Shipment Classification 5.3 Furniture and Residential Shipments All furniture shipments and some residential shipments require special handling.
