Buying bitumen internationally follows a well-worn path: an enquiry or Letter of Intent, a quotation on FOB or CIF terms, a contract, then secured payment. Getting the grade right at the enquiry stage saves time later — choose penetration grade bitumen like 60/70 for hot-climate paving, viscosity grade bitumen where a VG specification applies, oxidized bitumen for roofing, or cutback bitumen for prime and tack coats.
Cross-border orders are secured with a Letter of Credit, Telegraphic Transfer or Cash Against Documents. Before the cargo sails, a certificate of analysis confirms the tested properties and an independent inspector — SGS, Intertek or equivalent — can verify quality and quantity at loading. On arrival you can confirm origin through product authentication, and choose the right packaging for your port handling.
Bitumax processes orders for buyers in India, China, the UAE, Nigeria and Vietnam, among more than 80 markets. See the supply chain overview for how ordering connects to packaging, shipping and authentication, or the where to buy map for your local port options.
