A useful first reply
Let us know whether the product is within your supply scope and who should discuss it with NTI. If the specification or delivery request is unclear, send your questions first.
Supplier inquiries
Working with NTI on a Buyer Request
Customers ask NTI to source industrial products. We contact suppliers to discuss product requirements, request quotations, and clarify delivery details.

Confirm changes to bank or payment instructions through the established NTI contact before acting.
Clarify the fit
NTI checks the buyer’s requirement against the supplier’s product information and proposed scope. We may ask about a model, drawing, materials, capacity, available documents, or delivery location before requesting a firm quotation.
Prepare the quotation
Once the scope is clear, state the offered goods, price and currency, delivery terms, expected lead time, quotation validity, exclusions, and available technical or quality documents. Explain differences from the request so the buyer can compare offers.
Local-market suppliers
If you normally sell only in your home market, tell us the domestic delivery terms you can offer. NTI can discuss the cross-border arrangements needed for the project.
Confirm changes safely
Before acting on a change to bank, beneficiary, routing, or payment instructions, confirm it with the same NTI contact through an established channel.
