Define the product and acceptable range
A generic name for Iranian Dried Fruits is not enough for offer comparison. Select the required form or grade from Raisins and selected dried fruit categories by variety and process and define the standard, application and acceptance limits.
Quality variables and measurement method
Product type, drying process, moisture, size, color, additives, SO2 and microbiological limits should be explicit.
Connect evidence to the lot and the decision
Core evidence may include Moisture, additives, sulfur dioxide where relevant, microbiology and origin; each item should be checked for issuer, date, batch or shipment reference and the decision it is intended to support.
Packaging, storage and transport
Typical packaging: Food-grade bulk cartons, bags or destination retail packs. Review its fit with the transport route, climate, destination handling and damage or contamination risks.
Price basis and offer comparison
Raw-material quality, processing, sorting, additives, packaging, order size and destination tests shape price.
Warning signs before contract
Undeclared additives, contamination, high moisture, old stock and grade mixing are material risks.
Questions to resolve before discussing price

- Which evidence is required before payment and before shipment?
- How will rejection, correction, damages or dispute resolution work if the lot is non-conforming?
