Factors that weigh in the buying decision

In practice this means recurring quotations, growing volumes and constant pressure for perfect documentation and on-time delivery.

The detail that makes the difference

Choosing a supplier of Coal Ore should not be a lottery: review track record, supply capacity, current certificates and references from other buyers. A supplier that answers in 24-48 hours, accepts independent inspection and closes Incoterm, packaging and lead times in writing is worth more than a small discount.

Before closing a large volume of Coal Ore, request a sample and an independent laboratory analysis. The cost of that control is minimal compared with a rejection at destination.
