The clearer the inquiry, the faster and more accurate the reply. Here is a short list of what is worth including when contacting any food supplier.
Product and pack
Name the product and pack size if you know it, or describe the intended use (retail or food service) so the right size can be suggested.
Volume and destination
Give an approximate quantity, the destination country and any preferred shipping method. These directly affect a quotation.

If your market has requirements for labelling, language or documentation, mention them from the start.
