Please be advised according to incoterms and UN regulations all exports to Iraq are on pre- payment basis. However, we are willing to work on once transferable L/C.

Q5: In relation to Cement, what do these types of cement mean?
Type N: for exterior, above-grade walls Type N is a medium compressive-strength (750 psi) mortar made of 1 part Portland cement, 1 part lime and 6 parts sand. Type N is recommended for most exterior, above-grade walls exposed to severe weather, including chimneys.
Type N/R: As above but an optional suffix, R, may be added to the cement type (for example, N-R) if laboratory testing (C 227) indicates the cement is resistant to alkali-silica reactivity (ASR).
Type V: principally where soils or groundwater’s have a high sulphate … This type of cement gains strength more slowly than Type I cement and is used only in concrete exposed to severe sulphate action – principally where soils or groundwater’s have a high sulphate content. This cement is particularly effective for structures such as sewage treatment plants and septic tanks.
Q6: What does the price depend on?
Please remember that Commodity prices are dependent on a number of factors which must be taken into account, as these will affect your final price! These factors include: total volume, shipment size & frequency, payment terms, discharge rate and season.
