Frequently asked questions

Why do I need a supply agreement specific to nonmetallic minerals?

Nonmetallic mineral products often have stringent quality specifications (e.g., particle size, chemical composition) and are subject to industry standards. A tailored agreement ensures both parties are clear on these specs and testing procedures, reducing disputes.

What Incoterms should I use for bulk mineral deliveries?

The choice depends on your logistics and risk tolerance. For example, FOB places risk on the buyer once goods are loaded, while DAP means you bear risk until delivery. Your agreement should clearly state the Incoterm to avoid misunderstandings.

Can I include a price adjustment clause for raw material cost changes?

Yes, it's common to include a mechanism that adjusts prices based on indices like the Producer Price Index for nonmetallic minerals. This protects both parties from significant cost fluctuations.
