Bitumen 80/100 grade is a semi-soft grade of bitumen which is appropriate for cold regions. This grade is notably used in northern Africa especially Kenya and Tanzania market. Although this bitumen grade has been used in many countries, it has been mostly used in East African countries such as Kenya and Tanzania. Infinity Galaxy company is proud to have the responsibility of exporting bitumen grade 80/100 to great costumers of these two countries. It should be noted that having PVOC (Pre-Export Verification of Conformity) and GIS (Government and Institution Services) documents is mandatory for exporting bitumen grade 80/100 to Mombasa port of Kenya. Besides, the drums must have the specific marking approved by Mombasa customs in Kenya. For exporting to other East African countries, PVOC (Pre-Export Verification of Conformity) and GIS (Government and Institution Services) inspection are not required anymore. Only SGS inspection is needed for the commodity entrance.
