Routing Guide V2.1 – 2021/2022

August 1, 2021

To all US Suppliers,

This letter is to remind all US Suppliers of the requirement to follow the Kontoor Brands (“KTB”)
Logistics Routing Guide for all shipments within the US and inbound from international distribution
centers/vendors. The Routing Guide has been distributed to all Suppliers by KTB in the past, but is
provided again with updates following this letter.

Unless the sale of your product includes the price of freight, ALL shipments are required to ship
BILL TO 3RD PARTY to our locations using the mode and carrier specified in the Routing Guide. To further
emphasize, US suppliers are not to prepay and then add “Freight” or “Handling” to the invoices. In these
cases of Prepay/Add, we will short-pay the invoices, excluding these added freight charges.

Further instructions included are as follows

 Documentation requirements (required docs, content, and transmission methods)

 Reference Field population (small parcel)
 Acct # to use (small parcel)
 Bill To instructions to insure proper carrier billing (LTL and TL)

Chargeback Procedures are in effect (as defined in the Routing Guide) for instance of non-
compliance. Please sign page 23 and return to the email address indicated.

If any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact your Procurement contact, or contact
Kontoor.Routing@kontoorbrands.com .

Sincerely,
