Importing GGBFS from China is straightforward when the specification, documents and shipping basis are fixed before quotation.
Miningsun supplies export-ready ground granulated blast furnace slag from China for international buyers who need stable quality, clear documentation and responsive quotation support. This guide explains what procurement teams usually ask before placing a trial order or full-container order.
Start with the specification, not only the price
International buyers should define the grade and application before asking for the lowest price. For GGBFS, the relevant specification usually includes S75, S95 and S105, the required standard (ASTM C989, EN 15167 and GB/T 18046) and the target application: ready-mix concrete, precast concrete, mass concrete, marine concrete and low-carbon cement blending.
A clear specification helps the supplier confirm available stock, test reports and suitable packaging before preparing the commercial offer.
Confirm MOQ, packaging and loading plan
MOQ depends on bulk density, packaging and the economics of container loading. Trial samples are useful for lab approval, but full-container shipments usually provide the best landed cost.
- Available packaging: 1 MT or 1.25 MT jumbo bags, bulk vessel or containerized bulk
- Common loading ports: Tianjin, Qingdao, Shanghai or Lianyungang
- Shipping terms: FOB, CFR or CIF
- Documents: TDS, COA, mill test certificate and SGS/BV inspection when requested
Check supplier reliability before payment
Ask for recent COA samples, packaging photos, loading photos and references from similar export markets. A good exporter should explain realistic lead time, testing limitations and whether the goods can be inspected by SGS, BV or another third party before shipment.
For repeat orders, lock a repeatable specification and keep batch documents for each shipment. This makes quality comparison easier when shipments arrive months apart.
