Why source from Türkiye
- Among the world's leading exporters of cement, ceramic tiles, steel, and marble
- Full range: structural elements, fine finishes, and raw materials from one hub
- Competitive pricing — manufacturing scale, export infrastructure, and lower logistics vs Far East
- Strategic hub: proximity to Europe, MENA, and Africa — lower freight and faster transit
- EN / CE / ISO certified production at major export manufacturers
Step 1 — Define your requirement
- Product name, grade/spec (e.g. CEM I 42.5R, S420 rebar)
- Quantity and unit (tons, m², pieces)
- Destination country and port
- Preferred incoterm (EXW, FOB, CIF, CFR, DDP)
- Payment preference (T/T bank transfer recommended)
- Required documents (CO, invoice, packing list, mill test certificate)
Step 2 — Request a quote (RFQ)
- Submit free-text RFQ at zerixa.ai — AI parses product, quantity, destination
- Zerixa benchmarks multiple verified manufacturers internally
- Quote delivered within 24 hours with price, lead time, and incoterm breakdown
- No membership fee; one contract, one invoice
Step 3 — Contract & payment
- Proforma invoice issued after quote acceptance
- T/T (SWIFT bank transfer) — proforma invoice, then wire to Turkish export account
- Typical structure: 30% advance + 70% before shipment, or 100% against documents
- LC at sight available on request for qualifying project tenders
- Contract specifies specs, delivery window, inspection terms
- Optional third-party inspection (SGS, Bureau Veritas) before shipment
Step 4 — Production, QC & shipping
- Manufacturer produces to agreed spec; Zerixa coordinates QC
- Export documents prepared: commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin
- Shipment from Turkish port (FOB/CIF) or door delivery (DDP)
- Bill of lading / CMR tracking shared with buyer
Common mistakes to avoid
- Vague specs leading to wrong grade delivery
- Choosing CIF without confirming port handling costs at destination
- Payment terms that don't match production lead time
- Skipping pre-shipment inspection on first order with new supplier
