Specifications

Understanding Product Requirements

Buyers can describe the specifications that matter for their intended use and destination. Topics an enquiry may cover include:

  • Product form and description, such as whole or ground
  • Required grade or characteristics, where applicable
  • Packaging preferences
  • Quantity and unit
  • Intended use, where relevant
  • Requirements of the destination country

Please state your requirements in your enquiry. Whether a particular specification can be met has to be confirmed for each enquiry; no grade or value is assumed in advance.

Documentation

Documentation & Destination Requirements

Documentation needs vary with the product, the destination, the buyer and the regulations that apply. When you submit an enquiry, list the documents you expect and any destination-specific requirements, so that what can be provided is discussed openly.

Import rules change over time. We recommend that buyers, with their qualified advisers, confirm the current requirements for their product and destination with the competent authorities.

The enquiry process

Three steps to a well-specified enquiry

  1. Identify Your Product

    Select the product that matches your sourcing requirement in the catalogue.

  2. Share Your Specifications

    Communicate your quantity, preferred product characteristics, packaging preferences and destination.

  3. Discuss Documentation Needs

    Include any documentation or regulatory requirements relevant to your enquiry in the quotation form.

By product

Start from a product page

Each product page lists the details buyers usually specify for that product, with a button that opens the quotation form with the product already selected.
