Questions buyers ask

Questions About Sourcing Solutions

What does consolidation actually save?

One inspection window instead of several, one certificate format, one shipment and one set of paperwork for customs and site acceptance.

Can small line items be added to a bigger order?

Yes. Combining low-volume grades with the main scope is what keeps them economic to buy.

Can we appoint our own inspector?

Yes. Third-party inspection is available on request and is best booked at order stage.
