Wholesale Bitumen Requirement: 500 - 30,000 Metric Tons for an Importer in Sri Lanka
A verified buyer in Sri Lanka is sourcing bitumen, indicating a volume of 500 - 30,000 Metric Tons. Delivery is sought into Colombo, Sri Lanka on CIF terms, with settlement by a documentary letter of credit, so responding sellers should be positioned to perform on a seaborne cargo rather than a small parcel. The buyer's own note adds: "Type: Penetration Grade 60/70". A credible offer evidences bitumen on a certificate of quality: for crude grades, API gravity, sulphur content, BS&W, pour point and density; for refined products such as gasoil or jet fuel, the sulphur grade, cetane number, flash point and density, against the usual ASTM or ISO test methods. Proof of product, a statement of available quantity, and a refinery or allocation reference carry more weight than price alone at first contact. Quality and quantity are normally established by an independent inspector such as SGS, Saybolt or Intertek, with sampling and a dip test at the load port and re-inspection at the discharge port. Bitumen moves as bulk liquid cargo, so the offer should name the load port, the nominated vessel or laycan window, and the volume that can genuinely be lifted, rather than any packaging or container detail. Trade terms most often negotiated are FOB at the load port and CIF or CFR to the discharge port, here Colombo, Sri Lanka; under CIF the seller arranges the vessel and marine insurance through to discharge. Confirm Incoterms 2020 so the point of risk transfer is unambiguous. Payment on cargoes of this size is usually an irrevocable documentary letter of credit at sight or a standby letter of credit confirmed bank to bank, which matches the instrument this buyer has specified. A complete first response covers grade compliance against the buyer's note, a delivered price tied to a recognised benchmark with a clear validity window, proof of product, the load port and laycan, the inspection regime, and the bank instrument the offer can perform against.
Frequently Asked Questions About Bitumen Buy Leads
What quantity of bitumen does this buyer need?
The buyer has indicated a requirement of 500 - 30,000 Metric Tons. Confirm your available volume against it, state your MOQ if it sits below this figure, and give the production or shipment schedule you can hold to.
What shipping and payment terms did this buyer specify?
The buyer has specified CIF shipping and settlement by a documentary letter of credit. Quote your price on those Incoterms and set out the documents you can present against a documentary letter of credit.
Where does this buyer want bitumen delivered?
The buyer has named Colombo, Sri Lanka as the delivery point. Factor the freight, insurance, and transit time to that discharge port into a CIF or CFR offer, and state the vessel or routing your price assumes.
What bitumen specification has this buyer outlined?
The buyer's own note adds: "Type: Penetration Grade 60/70". Match your certificate of quality and supporting documents to these points in the first response, and flag any deviation from the buyer's stated requirement up front rather than after a sample.
Is this bitumen buy lead still active?
This buy lead is currently open and accepting quotations. It was posted on October 29, 2026. Requirements that pass six months without activity are automatically marked closed, so the most recently posted leads are the most likely to convert.
How do I submit a quotation on this bitumen requirement?
Use the Submit Quotation button on this page to send your offer directly to the buyer. A complete quote covers your price and its validity window, MOQ, load port and laycan, and the certifications you can provide. The buyer's contact details are released once you submit a quotation, so there is no need to source them elsewhere.
What HS code applies to bitumen?
Wholesale bitumen is classified under a specific HS heading that sets the duty and documentary regime in the destination market. Confirm the exact ten-digit national tariff line with a licensed customs broker before shipment, and keep that code identical across the commercial invoice, packing list, and certificate of origin so the consignment clears in one pass.
Which Incoterms and payment methods are standard in bitumen trade?
Bulk bitumen usually moves FOB at the load port or CIF and CFR to the discharge port, quoted on Incoterms 2020 to fix the point of risk transfer. Payment is commonly an irrevocable letter of credit at sight, a telegraphic transfer with a partial advance against shipping documents, or platform-mediated escrow on a first order.
