This combination (large CIF shipment + documentary/standby payment instruments) means the buyer expects freight and insurance included to the Chinese port and will favor suppliers experienced in documentary negotiation and issuing pre-shipment paperwork.

This request names ICUMSA 45 and ships to Chittagong under CIF.

4. Refined Sugar ICUMSA 45

Refined Sugar ICUMSA 45 seeks 50,000 MT per month of refined ICUMSA 45 (refined state) with a stated monthly supply requirement.

This request names ICUMSA 45 and indicates recurring monthly volume.

5. I want to buy Sugar Like Sugar Icumsa.

I want to buy Sugar Like Sugar Icumsa. requests 200–300 bags (50 kg packaging) delivered by road within India; target price and payment are negotiable.

6. Icumsa 45 Sugar

Icumsa 45 Sugar asks for 50 Tons FOB with payment by Letter of Credit (L/C). The FOB term means the supplier quotes unit price ex‑shipper port and the buyer arranges or pays sea freight from the named port; suppliers should include packing list, commercial invoice and certificate of analysis when replying. This request names ICUMSA 45 and trade term FOB with L/C payment.

Which Sugar Grades and Specifications Buyers Named

Counts overlap where a single RFQ names more than one descriptor (for example "Refined" and "ICUMSA 45").

ICUMSA 45 appears in 5 of 6 requests, 2 times more often than the next distinct spec grouping (refined state references). If a supplier does not list ICUMSA 45 in their catalogue, they risk missing most of these requests and should either add it or state equivalent grades with clear conversion notes.

Only some RFQs list technical specs beyond grade. Distinct specs that do appear:

• "Sugar" — Payment instruments: DLC and SBLC (documentary/guarantee details present).
• Refined Icumsa 45 Sugar 50kg Packaging - White Sugar Icumsa 45 Sugar Wholesale — Packaging: 50 kg bagging and approx. 100 x 20-foot containers (container stuffing required).
• Refined White Sugar – ICUMSA 45 – Premium Quality — Category: Class 1.
• Refined Sugar ICUMSA 45 — Supply frequency: 50,000 MT per month (repeat monthly volume).

Matching a buyer's stated figures exactly (grade, packaging, quantity) in your quotation reduces back-and-forth and increases chance of selection.

Order Size, Trade Terms & Payment Terms

Order size. Five of the six RFQs include a quantity figure and one gives only "200 (300 bags)" styled counts. Smallest to largest as stated: 24 Tons (Refined White Sugar – ICUMSA 45 – Premium Quality), 50 Tons (Icumsa 45 Sugar), 200 (300 bags) (I want to buy Sugar Like Sugar Icumsa.), 2,700 Tons (Refined Icumsa 45 Sugar 50kg Packaging...), 12,500 metric tons ("Sugar"), and 50,000 MT per month (Refined Sugar ICUMSA 45). Grouping: sample/small orders (24–50 T, RFQs 3 & 6); small bagged/local deliveries (RFQ 5); containerized/short bulk (2,700 T, RFQ 2); large bulk and recurring supply (12,500 T and 50,000 MT/month, RFQs 1 & 4). Responding requires matching logistics: palletized bagging for small/containerized loads; export documentation and large-scale loading capacity for bulk shipments.

Trade terms. Five of six RFQs name a trade term. Breakdown: CIF is named in three RFQs (RFQs 1, 2, 3), FOB in one (RFQ 6), and By Road in one (RFQ 5). The majority CIF share implies quotations should include freight and insurance to the named port when matching most buyer expectations; a quote on a different term is not directly comparable to CIF offers received by those buyers.

Payment terms. Five RFQs name a payment term. Breakdown: L/C appears in multiple RFQs (RFQs 2, 3, 6), DLC/SBLC in RFQ 1, and negotiable/undisclosed in RFQ 5; one RFQ (RFQ 4) does not state a payment method. Two buyers leave payment or shipping terms open; treat that as an opportunity to propose a concrete starting term such as "L/C at sight" or deposit plus balance against shipping documents.

→ Add CIF and L/C (and clearly listed FOB alternatives) to your listing and first-quote template so these buyers can filter and compare your offer accurately.
