(Urgent inquiry to Ukrainian and/or Russian suppliers) Dear Sir/Madam, Have a nice time. First, let us thank you a lot for your kind attention to our inquiry. 8th Star International Trading is an Iranian general trading company established in 1997 in Mashad-Iran. Our import and export activities include various items and products but the most important business operation in which our company has an import experience of over 4 years is the regular import of Fatty acid and Soap stock. As an end-user, we use these items (fatty acid & soap stock) in the factory of our sister-company, which is one of the largest detergent factories of Iran. The fatty acid and soap stock, which we regularly import from Turkmenistan and Kazakhstan, are usually made from cotton seeds oil. Now, we are going to develop the variety of said goods and we plan to import fatty acid and soap stock, which are made from sunflower seeds, soy beans, rape, palm, etc specially with the origin of Ukraine and Russian Federation. We prefer the fat content of fatty acid to be over 97% but quotations with lower fat content will be also considered and replied. Fat content of our required soap stock should be not less than 60%. Our expected term of delivery: 1st priority: DAF Sarakhs rail way station (Border of Iran-Turkmenistan) for rail shipments. 2nd priority: DAF other land-borders of Iran for truck shipments. 3rd priority: CFR port Anzali or port Amir-abad (Caspian Sea) for marine shipments. 4th priority: CFR port Bandar Abbas or Bandar Shahid Rajayee, Persian Gulf. Note: * Unfortunately we are not able to accept quotations based on EXW, FOB or FCA. * According to our experience, the most real and possible term of delivery for these goods is the first priority mentioned above (DAF Sarakhs rail way station).  Conditions of conveyance and packing description: * Fatty acid should be certainly shipped by rail way cisterns or marine cisterns. * Shipment of soap stock is possible by cisterns and also during cold seasons, soap stock can be packed in two-ply poly-bags (PE inner layer and PP outer woven layer) and transported by ordinary wagons, truck or containers. We are going to establish a long-term partnership with prime suppliers of said goods from UKRAINE and RUSSIA and in case we find workable prices and good qualities, we will sign a long-term purchase contract. Hereby we would like to remind you that this is not short-term purchase or one-time order. We are waiting for your kind prompt reply. Best regards Alireza Moinafshar
