The new assessment would reflect the following parameters and terms:
| Basis | FOB China |
| Location | Ports: Lianyungang, Zhoushan, Liaoning, Basuo |
| Cargo Size | 2kt-4kt |
| Laycan | Loading 20-40 days forward from the day of publication |

| Credit Terms | L/C 30 days |
| Specifications | Minimum purity of 99.5% |
Market information for products with other specifications and non-standard terms may be considered for the assessment and may be subject to normalization to the standard specifications and terms.
The new assessment would be published in Polymerscan, Fiber Marketscan, PCA177, Platts database, and on S&P Global Energy Core.
