Freshdi lists Flounder suppliers from 5 countries, led by China at 20.0%, as of 16 November 2026.
Only 5 suppliers are currently offering Flounder on the platform, and none have updated their listings in the past 90 days. This means the supply is static, and buyers should treat each supplier as a one-time opportunity rather than a long-term source—there’s little room for negotiation or follow-up on pricing or terms. Just 5 listings are live for Flounder, which suggests a narrow range of available grades, pack sizes, or specifications. A buyer looking for a specific product detail may not find a match and will likely need to reach out directly to suppliers for custom options. Flounder is sourced from 5 different countries, with China making up 20.0% of the supply. While the distribution is spread across several nations, China’s share is small, meaning buyers can explore alternatives from other countries if they need to avoid reliance on a single origin.

Trade terms and how to compare quotations
A reference for every category: what the usual trade and payment terms mean, and the points to check when you compare quotations.
| Term | Type | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| EXW | Incoterm | The buyer collects the goods at the seller's premises and pays every cost from there. |
| FCA | Incoterm | The seller hands the goods, cleared for export, to the buyer's carrier at a named place. |
| FOB | Incoterm | The seller loads the goods on the vessel at the port of loading; freight is the buyer's. |
| CFR | Incoterm | The seller pays sea freight to the destination port; the risk passes once loaded. |
| CIF | Incoterm | Like CFR, and the seller also insures the goods until the destination port. |
| CPT | Incoterm | The seller pays carriage to a named place; the risk passes at the first carrier. |
| CIP | Incoterm | Like CPT, and the seller also insures the goods to the named place. |
| DAP | Incoterm | The seller delivers to a named place, ready for unloading; import duties are the buyer's. |
| DPU | Incoterm | The seller delivers and unloads the goods at a named place in the destination country. |
| DDP | Incoterm | The seller delivers to the buyer's place and pays import duties and taxes too. |
| FAS | Incoterm | The seller places the goods alongside the vessel at the port of loading. |
| T/T | Payment term | A bank transfer, often a deposit before production and the balance against documents. |
| L/C | Payment term | A letter of credit, under which the buyer's bank pays once the shipping documents match its terms. |
| D/P | Payment term | Documents against payment, where the buyer gets the shipping documents once it pays. |
| D/A | Payment term | Documents against acceptance, where the buyer gets the documents by accepting to pay later. |
| CAD | Payment term | Cash against documents, where payment is made when the shipping documents are presented. |
| Bank Transfer | Payment term | A direct transfer between bank accounts, agreed in the contract. |
| Escrow | Payment term | A third party holds the payment until the buyer confirms delivery. |
| Cash | Payment term | Payment in cash, usually only for small or local orders. |
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.
