When importing Iranian tea in bulk, one of the most important steps is submitting a professional Request for Quotation (RFQ) to your supplier. A well-prepared RFQ ensures you receive accurate pricing, clear terms, and supply options tailored to your market needs. At Tamila Agrifood Company, we frequently receive RFQs from importers, government procurement agencies, and wholesale distributors around the world. This guide explains how to prepare an effective RFQ for Iranian tea.

1. Why is an RFQ important in wholesale Iranian tea supply?

An RFQ helps buyers and suppliers communicate expectations clearly. It avoids misunderstandings and allows suppliers to provide:

•    Accurate bulk pricing per ton or kg

•    Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) requirements

•    Available grades & varieties of Iranian tea

•    Logistics and shipping options

•    Certifications (ISO, HACCP, Organic, Halal)

A detailed RFQ saves time and builds trust, especially for long-term supply agreements.

2. What details should be included in an RFQ for Iranian tea?

To receive a precise quotation, your RFQ should include the following:

•    Product Specifications: Type of tea (Black, Green, CTC, Herbal blends).

•    Grade & Quality Requirements: Orthodox, premium leaf, or specialty.

•    Quantity Needed: Specify in metric tons (MT) or kilograms.

•    Packaging Format: Bulk sacks, vacuum cartons, or private-label retail packs.

•    Destination Country & Port: To calculate shipping costs (FOB, CIF, DDP).

•    Certifications Required: ISO, HACCP, Organic, Halal, Fair Trade.

•    Timeline: Expected delivery schedule (urgent or standard).

•    Payment Terms Preference: Letter of Credit (L/C), T/T, or other methods.

3. Step-by-step guide to requesting a quotation

Step 1: Identify your requirements

Clearly define the type of Iranian tea and the estimated volume you plan to purchase.

Step 2: Contact a certified supplier
