Suppliers can unlock buyer details and submit a quotation on Freshdi.

frozen fish such as tuna, mackerel, and pomfret. requests 1 twentyfoot container delivered CIF to the United Arab Emirates with payment by Bank Transfer. This combination (container CIF + bank transfer) means the buyer expects the supplier quote to include freight and insurance to the stated destination and to accept payment after invoice by bank transfer; suppliers should calculate landed cost to UAE and state estimated transit time. This request names no formal grade or packing details.

2. Frozen surimi fish cake

Frozen surimi fish cake specifies 20,000 kilograms packaged in 20kg cartons and prefers LC payment. This is a processed, packaged product request — suppliers must show packaging specs, shelf life, and a commercial invoice-ready pack list. This request lists packaging and frozen state; no trade term was provided, so offerors should propose a clear Incoterm in their first quotation.

3. Frozen Fish Like Salmon, Mackarel Fish

Frozen Fish Like Salmon, Mackarel Fish seeks 14–15 tons delivered CIF with payment by TT. The listed tonnage implies multi-container planning or a full small-container allocation; suppliers should confirm whether the buyer expects single or split shipments. This request names CIF and TT explicitly.

4. Indian frozen fish bombay duck iqf

Indian frozen fish bombay duck iqf specifies Grade A, IQF, clean headless, dimensions 800 x 10 MC and a quantity of 27,000 in a 40-foot HQ container to Ajman port on CIF with T/T payment. This request names a clear grade and processing state; suppliers without IQF capability or Grade A product should not bid. This request names Grade A and ships to Ajman port under CIF.

5. Frozen And Chilled Fish Like Salmon, Mackerel Fish

Frozen And Chilled Fish Like Salmon, Mackerel Fish asks for 1 twentyfoot container CIF to the United Arab Emirates with payment by Bank Transfer. The buyer does not list grade or packing; suppliers should include packaging, cold-chain handling and estimated transits in their quotation to be comparable with CIF offers.

Which Frozen Fish Grades and Specifications Buyers Named

All five RFQs provide some product naming or spec; a subset provides technical details.

Counts overlap where RFQs name multiple products (for example an RFQ listing both Salmon and Mackerel contributes to the Salmon/Mackerel count).

The single most-named value is the Salmon/Mackerel family: it appears in 3 of 5 requests, twice as often as any other specific product form listed.

If a supplier doesn’t list Salmon or Mackerel on their own offering, they are unlikely to match 3 of these 5 requests; adding those product lines or clear processing equivalence in their catalogue increases match probability.

Only some RFQs state technical specs. Distinct specs provided:

• Indian frozen fish bombay duck iqf: Grade A; IQF; clean head less; dimensions 800 X 10 Mc.
• Frozen surimi fish cake: Packaging 20kg/carton; frozen state confirmed; total 20000 kilograms.

Matching a buyer's stated figures exactly in a quotation reduces back-and-forth and speeds contract alignment; state identical pack counts and processing labels where present.

Order Size, Trade Terms & Payment Terms

Order size. All 5 RFQs include a quantity figure. Smallest-to-largest as stated: 1 twentyfoot container (frozen fish such as tuna, mackerel, and pomfret. and Frozen And Chilled Fish Like Salmon, Mackerel Fish), 14–15 tons (Frozen Fish Like Salmon, Mackarel Fish), 20000 kilograms (Frozen surimi fish cake), and 27000 40-foot HQ Container (Indian frozen fish bombay duck iqf). Figures with incompatible units are not summed. Grouped segments: container-sized trial (1 twentyfoot container requests), multi-ton bulk (14–27 tons and 20000 kg), and full-container HQ (27,000 40-foot HQ container); responding suppliers need container freight planning for CIF requests and packaging documentation for processed items.

Trade terms. 5 of 5 RFQs name a trade term: CIF appears in 4 of the 5 listed RFQs above (the surimi request did not specify an Incoterm). The majority term, CIF, implies supplier quotations should include freight to the named destination and marine insurance costs borne by the seller to the agreed arrival port; quoting a different Incoterm will not be directly comparable to CIF offers.

Payment terms. 5 of 5 RFQs name a payment term: Bank Transfer (2), LC (1), TT/T/T variants (2). None of the five leave payment entirely blank. Where buyers leave payment unspecific on platform-wide listings, offerors should propose a practical starting term (for this pool, proposing L/C at sight or 30% deposit + 70% against shipping documents is a reasonable opening).

→ Suppliers should add CIF pricing and either T/T or Bank Transfer terms in their listings so they appear in the term-filtered results used by most buyers here.
