Use it with the related HERBSEA product pages so the supplier can connect the request with the right ingredient, specification and document package.
Selection Criteria
| Review point | Buyer input | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| RFQ scope | Ingredient name, application, target specification and expected order quantity. | Keeps supplier replies comparable. |
| Quality file | COA fields, specification sheet, sample lot and packing note. | Supports QA review before commercial approval. |
| Commercial fields | MOQ, packing size, lead time, shipment terms request and destination market. | Turns technical interest into a quotation path. |
| Reply format | Ask each supplier to answer the same fields in one table. | Makes procurement review faster and clearer. |
Practical Recommendation
Keep the request short, specific and attached to one sourcing file. Confirm application, target specification, sample quantity, COA fields, packing, MOQ expectation and destination market before comparing supplier replies.
