Labeling of bags:

US$ 1.00 up to US$ 4.00 per MT depending on the size of the logo and colors that are to be used. It will only be done on contracts of 12,000,000MT or higher due to the time invested in changing the labeling configuration on the mills machinery. Between 4-5 hours setting it up and the same for reconfiguration back to normal.

What about Target Prices for high quantities of cement?

Many agents/brokers make the mistake to present LOIs with total unrealistic target prices as low as $45 per MT or even lower. Hunting for suppliers who could match this serious requests from serious buyers the agent is under the absolute wrong impression that high quantities of cement would automatically lower the prices dramatically... Nothing is further from the truth!

If you are one of these brokers, please be informed that none of our suppliers, neither 21st Equity Commodities is interested to do any business with you for various reasons:

1. Only uninformed people think that quantities of cement determine the price. The product is 20% of the CIF prices. This is the year 2009, we do not deliver cement with ships under sail and neither do we make use of slave labour! Transport, shipping costs, loading, port duties, and export duties, insurance, certificates such as GOST, SABS, EQM etc. required for various countries, all that makes up the price per MT.

2. Secondly, you may work for free, nobody in our company does. Before we start working on such requests, we want to see some documentation of you/ your clients intent.

3. Thirdly, we dictate the procedures and NOT you because cement is a Sellers market commodity.

4. So if you would kindly send us your clients ICPO plus the BCL we can probably start to negotiate lower prices for you. As of now, we only see a dream price from somebody who has not shown that he can pay for the commodity...

The reason why we require a BG or SBLC in certain options:

The MRLC will be opened and cannot be canceled by either the buyer or seller. BUT the bank can. If there is, for any reason, not enough money in the buyers account, the bank will not open that months L/C.

Due to shipment every 7-10 days, the next months shipment will already be at sea when payment is to be made! The Supplier has already sent the next shipment and there is no L/C available for payment!

Due to the fact that the cement is already paid for by the Supplier, they will require payment for that from the buyer! Then and only then, will the Supplier use the BG or SBLC to pay for that shipment! The BG or SBLC is to guarantee the monthly payment method.

Why shipment every 7-10 days? The mills do not wait for the vessel to return to port to reload for the next months shipment. That will have the effect of the buyer only receiving there allocation of monthly cement every third month! Thats why they ship every 7 to 10 days to deliver as per contract their monthly quota!

We will only accept above stated payment options. The buyer may use the BG (SBLC) to pay for the last months shipping as the current draft contract is setup for.
