1 Tons(sample) of Instant tea Sought by a Verified Importer in Sri Lanka
An importer in Sri Lanka has posted an active requirement for instant tea, indicating a volume of 1 Tons(sample). Delivery is sought into Colombo on CIF terms, with settlement by an irrevocable letter of credit. The buyer's own note adds: "Sample required; Type-Green. Black; Style-Instant". Suppliers preparing an offer should be ready to evidence instant tea on a current certificate of analysis, covering grade and variety, moisture content, foreign-matter percentage, shelf life, and the microbial and heavy-metal limits the category attracts, reported against accredited laboratory methods. At first contact, a clear specification and valid certificates count for more than a headline price. Quality and quantity are normally established by an independent inspector such as SGS, Bureau Veritas or Intertek, with sample drawing and loading supervision at the export port. Instant tea moves as food-grade bulk or palletized cargo, so the offer should name the packing format, the load port, lead time and the available quantity, rather than vague availability claims. Trade terms most often negotiated are FOB at the supplier's export port and CIF or CFR to the buyer's port, here Colombo; under CIF the seller arranges freight and marine insurance to the discharge port. Quote Incoterms 2020 explicitly so risk transfer is unambiguous. Payment is commonly an irrevocable letter of credit at sight or T/T with a partial advance against shipping documents, which matches the instrument this buyer has specified. A complete first response covers specification compliance against the buyer's note, an indicative price with a validity window, MOQ, packaging, port of dispatch, lead time, and certification copies.
