Export Quotation Template for Indian Manufacturers
International buyers evaluate your professionalism from the first document you send. These export quotation templates cover all required fields for US, UAE, Europe, and Southeast Asia buyers.
Incoterms matter: Most first-time exporters quote CIF or DDU without understanding the freight and insurance liability they're taking on. For initial export quotes, FOB Indian port is recommended — it's the safest for your first few shipments until you have freight forwarding relationships in place.
