A clear request for quotation reduces delays and makes supplier offers easier to compare. For drilling-grade barite, the RFQ should cover the technical specification, packing, quantity, destination, schedule and documentation requirements.
1. State the exact grade
Identify whether the requirement is for Barite API 4.2 or Barite API 4.1. If the project has an approved specification sheet, include it with the enquiry.
2. Provide the quantity and schedule
State the total metric tonnage, the required delivery date and whether the purchase is a single shipment or a repeating schedule. This affects availability, packing preparation and logistics planning.
3. Identify the destination and Incoterm
Include the destination port or delivery city and the preferred Incoterm. If several delivery options are acceptable, list them so the commercial team can structure alternatives.
4. Confirm packing and site handling
Kasbonex Global’s current barite offer is supplied in 1.5-ton jumbo bags. The buyer should confirm that unloading and lifting equipment is suitable for the packing format and that the storage area protects the product from moisture and contamination.
5. List the required documents
- Certificate of analysis
- Safety data sheet
- Packing list and weight information
- Inspection certificate, if required
- Shipment and commercial documents
6. Explain the approval process
If the order requires a pre-shipment sample, independent laboratory review or third-party inspection, state that at RFQ stage. Late additions can change cost and timing.
7. Include commercial contact details
Provide the buyer’s company name, procurement contact, technical contact and preferred communication channel. This makes it easier to resolve specification questions without slowing the quotation.

Frequently asked questions
Can I request a quotation without a complete specification?
Yes, but the offer may need technical clarification before it can be finalized. Supplying the approved limits at the beginning produces a more useful response.
Why must the destination be included?
Freight planning, route availability and delivery terms depend on the destination and shipment basis.
