Quotation basis
Confirm the currency, quotation validity, delivery term and named destination. The quotation should identify which freight, insurance, customs and handling costs are included or excluded.

B2B
Commercial framework
Commercial terms depend on the product, supplier, volume and destination. The quotation sets out the proposed terms in writing for agreement before an order.
Minimums
Minimum orders depend on supplier requirements, product format, packaging and transport. Tell us your target quantity so we can check a suitable order configuration.
Documentation
The documents included depend on product, supplier and destination. Required health, origin, catch, traceability and establishment documents are confirmed before quotation; none are implied by this page.
Payment
The payment method, timing and any required commercial documentation must be agreed in writing before an order. No standard credit or payment arrangement is implied.
Samples
Ask whether an evaluation sample is possible for the selected product and destination. Availability, sample cost, transport and any import requirements must be confirmed before dispatch.
We aim to acknowledge specification requests within one business day; a complete quotation may require supplier confirmation.

Before requesting a seafood wholesale quote
A clear purchasing brief makes it easier to compare suitable offers. Use these three checks when preparing your enquiry.
Product, volume and destination
State the species or commercial product name, required format, order quantity and unit, destination country and port or city. Include a preferred delivery date and expected repeat volume. For conservas, specify the species, preserving medium, container size and intended retail or foodservice use.
Grading, packaging and weight
Ask which grading convention applies: pieces per kilogram, weight per piece or another supplier-defined range. Specify whether quantities refer to net product weight, drained weight or another declared basis. For glazed frozen products, ask for the glaze declaration. Confirm inner packs, outer cartons and storage requirements in the quotation.
Catch origin is not the processing location
Ask for catch area, landing country and processing country as separate fields. Processing or landing in Spain does not by itself establish Spanish catch origin. This distinction is particularly important for octopus. Certification, establishment approval and destination eligibility must be checked against the actual supplier and lot documentation.
B2B
Before accepting a supplier quotation
A product name and a price do not define the full offer. Compare proposals against the same written purchasing brief.
Match the offered product
Check the species, grade, presentation and origin statement against your request. If the supplier proposes an alternative cut, calibre or format, ask for the change to be stated explicitly.
Confirm what the quantity means
Read the declared weight basis, units per inner pack and packs per carton together. Ask the supplier to clarify any difference between your requested quantity and the offered pack configuration.
Separate availability from delivery
Confirm the proposed lot, the quotation validity and the agreed delivery window. An indication of stock does not itself confirm that transport or destination requirements have been arranged.
Close the documentation gaps
List the supplier and product documents still required, who will provide them and when they must be reviewed. Agree the final specification and commercial responsibilities in writing before an order.
A clearer conservas enquiry
For each requested SKU, specify the species, preserving medium, container size, required net or drained weight and order quantity. State retail or foodservice use, destination and labelling needs. Ask whether mixed-SKU cases are possible; do not assume the same minimum applies across a producer’s range.
