Commodity and trade insights
We are preparing practical articles for business buyers on product grades, packaging, international trade terminology and shipment documentation.
Buying commodities in bulk
An effective procurement enquiry specifies the grade, quantity, packaging, required documents and named destination port. These details help prevent ambiguity and speed up commercial discussions.
FOB and CIF enquiries
FOB and CIF are commonly used international trade terms that allocate different responsibilities to buyers and sellers. Ask for the exact Incoterms rule and named port in any written quotation.
