Export terms
Bitumen bags are a bagged packaging format for bitumen, used as an alternative to steel drums or bulk tanker/vessel supply. Tiger Bitumen packs bulk bitumen sourced in tankers and vessels into 1 Metric Ton PP woven bags in steel cages, and new drums, at its packaging facility in the Karachi Export Processing Zone, prepared for export according to the buyer’s specification.
Which format suits a given order depends on shipment volume, destination, the buyer’s unloading facilities, and storage requirements. Tiger Bitumen’s export team can help work through these factors before packaging is confirmed.
Bulk tanker/vessel supply moves large volumes in a molten state and requires the buyer to have tank-receiving and reheating infrastructure at destination.
Steel drums package bitumen into individual metal containers Tiger Bitumen's own drums are supplied in 150 kg and 180 kg sizes.
Bagged bitumen can be handled and loaded using suitable pallet and cargo-handling equipment, depending on the confirmed packaging configuration rather than the tank-side infrastructure bulk supply needs.
1 MT PP Woven Bag in Steel Cage / Tiger Bitumen's confirmed bagged export format a woven polypropylene bag housed in a steel cage, holding 1 Metric Ton (1,000 kg) of bitumen. The steel cage provides structural support for handling and transport
Bag weight: Tiger Bitumen’s standard bag weight for bagged bitumen export is 1 Metric Ton (1,000 kg) per bag a PP woven bag housed in a steel cage.
Packaging material: The bag is constructed from woven polypropylene (PP) fabric the standard outer material used across the bulk bag industry and is housed within a steel cage that provides structural support for handling and transport. Tiger Bitumen has not published further construction detail such as liner type, coating, fabric weight, or cage specification confirm these with the export team if your order requires them.
Palletising & loading configuration: Export shipments are placed on pallets as part of Tiger Bitumen’s preparation process. Exact configuration bags per pallet, bags per container, stacking pattern depends on destination and the buyer’s own handling capability at the receiving end, and should be confirmed directly with the export team before the order is finalised. At the receiving end, and should be confirmed directly with the export team before the order is finalised.
Penetration Grade bitumen (including 35/50, 50/70, 60/70, 70/100 and 80/100) and Oxidized Bitumen (including 85/25, 95/25 and 115/15) are Tiger Bitumen’s most prominent product lines, and the grades most consistently referenced across its export materials.
Tiger Bitumen’s broader product range also includes Performance Grade, Viscosity Grade, Australian Standard, Cutback, Coat and Emulsion Bitumen. Tiger Bitumen describes its steel-caged 1 MT bag packing for bitumen in general terms, without publishing which specific grades are confirmed available in bagged format. No grade should be treated as a confirmed bagged product on this basis alone confirm with the export team which grade is available in bagged packaging for your specific order.
Handling: Bagged bitumen can be handled and moved using suitable pallet and warehouse handling equipment, depending on the confirmed packaging configuration and site capability.
Storage: Tiger Bitumen has not published detailed storage specifications for bagged product (maximum stacking height, ambient storage limits, etc.). Storage requirements depend on grade and local conditions — confirm storage guidance for your specific order with the export team ahead of arrival.
A bagged bitumen export order moves through the same structured process Tiger Bitumen applies across its shipments:
The confirmed 1 MT PP woven bag in steel cage, or new steel drums, prepared according to shipment volume, destination and the buyer's unloading facilities.
Typically a Commercial Invoice, Packing List, Bill of Lading, Certificate of Origin, Certificate of Analysis, and an SGS inspection report where required.
Product inspected, containers loaded, packaging verified, cargo moved to port, shipping schedule confirmed.
Sea freight by container (20ft containers), under FOB, CFR or CIF terms depending on the buyer's preferred logistics arrangement.
Transit time depends on shipping route, destination country, vessel schedule, weather and port conditions, so it isn't a fixed number.
On arrival, buyers should verify documents, inspect packaging, confirm quantities, and have unloading arrangements ready.
Suitable asphalt and road infrastructure applications
Projects requiring practical bitumen handling on site
Suitable waterproofing applications
General construction and infrastructure supply needs
Where practical material handling matters more than bulk volume
Managing smaller or phased volumes rather than full bulk shipments
Application suitability remains subject to grade confirm fit with the export team for your specific project.
Tiger Bitumen describes the following as benefits of its steel caged 1 MT bag format:
These are stated as general characteristics of the format, not guarantees for every shipment or an explicit comparison against drums or bulk supply. Bagged bitumen isn’t a replacement for bulk or drum supply in every case the right format still depends on project volume, site infrastructure and handling capability, which is why Tiger Bitumen’s export team works through these factors with each buyer rather than defaulting to one packaging type.
Bulk tanker/vessel supply moves large volumes in a molten state and needs tank-receiving infrastructure at destination. Drums package bitumen into individual metal containers (Tiger Bitumen supplies 150 kg and 180 kg drums). Bagged bitumen can be handled and loaded using suitable pallet and cargo-handling equipment instead, depending on the confirmed packaging configuration.
1 Metric Ton (1,000 kg) per bag a PP woven bag housed in a steel cage is Tiger Bitumen's standard bagged export weight.
The bag itself is woven polypropylene (PP), the standard outer material used across the bulk bag industry, housed within a steel cage that provides structural support for handling and transport. Further construction detail should be confirmed with the export team.
Tiger Bitumen's confirmed bagged packaging is the 1 Metric Ton PP woven bag in steel cage. If your order requires a different quantity, contact the export team to discuss options.
Penetration Grade and Oxidized Bitumen are Tiger Bitumen's most prominent product lines. Bagged format availability isn't confirmed grade by grade in Tiger Bitumen's published materials, so confirm with the export team which grade is available in bagged packaging for your order.
Bags are placed on pallets and loaded into containers as part of Tiger Bitumen's export preparation process. Exact pallet and container configuration depends on the format, destination and your handling capability, and is confirmed per order.
Typically a Commercial Invoice, Packing List, Bill of Lading, Certificate of Origin, and Certificate of Analysis, with an SGS inspection report where required.
