How stable is this supply base?
Three separate questions, answered in order: is the product fresh, is the market busy, and can the sellers be trusted.
Is there much new product?
Dried Cod had 4 new listings in the last 30 days, up from 1 the month before, only a handful of new listings in either month. The catalog is growing slowly, so most offers remain from earlier periods, and the recent additions are few. That means buyers see a mix of older and newer offers, with little change in the overall range of available options. Compare listing dates when evaluating similar offers to see which one is closer to current availability.
Is the market busy?
2 of the 10 suppliers joined in the last 12 months, a mix of long-standing and new suppliers. The pool includes sellers with established listing records and a smaller number of newcomers who are still building their presence. Buyers have a broader selection, but the newer ones have less history to assess. Review each supplier's listing history before contacting them for a first order.

Name the Incoterm with a place, and agree it and the payment term in writing before production starts.
| Point | What to check | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Incoterm and place | Every quotation names the same Incoterm and port or place. | Prices on FOB and on CIF differ by the freight and the insurance. |
| Specification | The grade, size or composition quoted matches the one asked for. | A lower grade can hide behind a lower price. |
| Quantity and MOQ | The price is for the quantity ordered, above the minimum order. | Unit prices change with the order size. |
| Packaging | Packing type, size and labelling are stated and the same. | Custom packing adds cost. |
| Payment term | The payment term and the deposit asked. | It moves the risk between buyer and seller. |
| Lead time | The production and shipping time to the destination. | A late shipment can cost more than a higher price. |
| Documents | The certificates and export documents included. | Missing papers can block customs. |
| Validity | How long the quoted price holds. | Quotations are often valid for a limited time only. |
Ask every counterpart to quote on the same basis: only then does the lower price win.
