TAFRICTÜRKİYE–AFRICA B2BTAFRICTÜRKİYE–AFRICA B2BFresh, verified buying requests from Africa for exporter companies.
Africa's housing and infrastructure drive keeps demand high for building materials: cement, steel, ceramics, sanitaryware, profiles and finishing products. This page collects verified buying requests and shows Turkish exporters what buyers need: standards, MOQ, and CFR delivery to Lagos, Tema, Dakar or Abidjan.
Buyers name the standard: rebar grades (B420C/B500), cement type, ceramic PEI rating, or the norm the destination recognises (EN, BS or a national spec). Add the mill test certificate or technical datasheet up front. It's the fastest way to build trust remotely.
Heavy building materials are priced per tonne (steel, cement) or per m²/piece (ceramics, sanitaryware) in USD, CFR to the destination port. Bulk vessels handle clinker and large steel lots; containers handle bagged cement, tiles and fixtures. State a short price validity as scrap and freight move.
Beyond invoice, packing list and certificate of origin, most building materials need a pre-shipment inspection (SGS/Bureau Veritas). Nigeria adds Form M and SONCAP where in scope; Francophone markets run COTECNA/BIVAC. Confirm the destination programme before you ship to avoid a container stuck at port.
On Tafric every request is verified before publication, so you engage importers tied to real construction schedules, the kind who keep a supplier who hits the delivery date. Deliver the first order well and it becomes a recurring monthly line.
Commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin and, for most building materials, a pre-shipment inspection report (SGS/Bureau Veritas) plus a mill test certificate for steel. Nigeria adds Form M and SONCAP where in scope; many Francophone countries require COTECNA/BIVAC conformity. Verify the destination programme before shipping.
