BEYOND THE CLOSE-UP

The working context.
The details behind a request.

Handling, sampling and presentation deserve a place in the discussion. Use your inquiry to describe the practical requirements at your end.

03 /PACKING & DELIVERY

Plan beyond the product.

01

Bagged material

Specify bag weight, lining, closure and labelling requirements.

02

Bulk handling

Describe the handling method and unloading facilities at your destination.

03

Loading plan

Include pallet preferences and any container or vehicle constraints.

Include the destination country and delivery point. Packing format, preparation time, documents and delivery terms are agreed for each proposal.

04 /BEFORE AN AGREEMENT

Three things to make clear.

01

Agree the specification

State the properties and testing methods your operation requires.

02

Review the actual material

Request current analysis and discuss sample requirements before agreement.

03

Confirm the commercial details

Review quantity, packing, preparation time and delivery terms together.

05 /A FEW HELPFUL ANSWERS

Before you ask.

Can I request a particular particle size?

Include the required mesh or particle-size range in your inquiry. Availability and preparation requirements need to be reviewed for that request.

What should I include for an application-specific inquiry?

Describe the process, preferred material type, required performance tests and acceptance limits. Attachments can be discussed once a sales channel is connected.

How do I start an inquiry?

Choose ‘Request this product’ and add your quantity, destination and specifications. The current form prepares a draft for copying or download; it does not yet send your details to a sales team.
