A few practical answers.
Do I need a complete technical specification?
No. Start with the product, approximate quantity and destination. Add the application and any grade or packing requirements you already know. The remaining details can be discussed.
Are the photographs a record of available stock?
No. Website product and workplace images are AI-generated illustrations. Ask for current photographs, analysis and sample information for the actual material being proposed.
Are prices and delivery arrangements fixed?
No. Availability, pricing, payment, preparation and delivery arrangements are reviewed for each proposed order. The website does not confirm an order or guarantee a shipment.
