Quick answer
What should you prepare?
To request a commercial refrigeration export quotation, send the destination, application, model or capacity, quantity, electrical requirements and delivery scope. Mark unknown specifications as open. Compare offers only after the model configuration, packing and included services are aligned.
What to send and what to check in the quotation
| Buying decision | Send with your inquiry | Check in the supplier response |
|---|---|---|
| Equipment selection | Chilled drinks or frozen storage; available space; model shortlist | Exact model, usable layout, temperature range and cabinet dimensions |
| Destination configuration | Country, site conditions, voltage, frequency and plug | Configuration-specific specification and applicable document scope |
| Order size | Quantity per model; trial order or repeat order | MOQ, availability and any sample or customization charges |
| Delivery | Destination port/place, required date and preferred trade scope | Named delivery term, packing, production timing, freight and exclusions |
| Service | Local service arrangements and spare-parts needs | Warranty coverage, claim evidence and agreed parts list |
1. Identify the destination and use
State the destination country, buyer type and application. Explain whether the equipment is for distribution, a supermarket project, a restaurant, a bakery, a branded program or another commercial use. This determines which selection and compliance questions should come first.
2. Provide a product list or floor-plan context
For a distributor inquiry, list the categories, capacity positions and expected channel. For a store or foodservice project, provide a floor plan, location, available dimensions, temperature zones and equipment schedule where possible. Mark any dimensions that cannot change.
3. Define technical and market requirements
Include target temperature, ambient condition, cooling preference if known, voltage, frequency, plug, refrigerant and required certification or documentation. If a requirement is unknown, label it as open rather than selecting a value without technical review.
4. State the commercial planning inputs
Provide estimated quantity, target delivery date, destination port or address, branding scope and whether the quotation should include samples, spare parts, special packing or mixed models. The supplier can then identify which terms require a separate option.
5. Review quotation boundaries
Check whether the quotation clearly identifies model, configuration, quantity, unit basis, packing, Incoterm, payment, validity, lead time, warranty and exclusions. Website information is general; the issued quotation and contract should define the binding commercial scope.
Minimum inquiry checklist
Sending these inputs together reduces assumptions and makes offers easier to compare.
- Company, contact person and destination market
- Buyer type and commercial application
- Product category, model reference or floor plan
- Quantity and target date
- Voltage, frequency, plug and required documentation
- Branding or private-label scope
- Delivery location and trade scope

South American beverage cooler purchasing case
This buyer's initial eight-unit order and proposed nine-unit follow-up illustrate why model mix and order documentation belong in the brief. The case does not establish a standard MOQ for other orders.
