ICC Commodities is able to supply cement out of India, China and Europe. We have been supplying SABS approved cement to South Africa since 2007. The specs below are specs for our SABS approved cement. For other destinations the specs need to be confirmed at time of order.
As well as bulk shipments we are able to ship smaller quantities in containers to some destinations.
