How to Send an RFQ on VietnamExporter
Sending a Request for Quotation (RFQ) is the most effective way for buyers to receive accurate pricing, production details, and trade terms from Vietnamese exporters. A clear RFQ helps suppliers respond faster and provide quotations that match your sourcing needs.
Step 1: Browse Products or Select a Category
Start by exploring products on VietnamExporter or navigating through relevant product categories. This helps you narrow down suppliers that specialize in the products you are sourcing.
Step 2: Choose a Specific Product
Once you find a suitable product, open the product detail page. Each product page provides basic specifications, images, and supplier information to help you evaluate suitability before requesting a quote.
Step 3: Click “Request a Quote”
On the product page, click the Request a Quote button. This action opens the RFQ form where you can submit your sourcing requirements directly to the exporter.
Step 4: Fill in RFQ Information
To receive an accurate quotation, provide clear and complete details, including:
-
Required quantity and expected MOQ
-
Product specifications or customization needs
-
Target price range (optional)
-
Delivery time / lead time
-
Shipping terms (EXW, FOB, CIF, DDP)
-
Preferred payment terms
The more detailed your RFQ, the more precise the supplier’s quotation will be.
Step 5: Submit the RFQ
After reviewing your information, submit the RFQ. Your request will be sent directly to the exporter responsible for the selected product.
Step 6: Wait for Supplier Response
Suppliers will review your RFQ and respond with pricing, lead time, and trade conditions. You may receive follow-up questions if additional clarification is required.
