First-time buyers usually want to know exactly what happens between sending a specification and receiving a container. Here's the order it actually happens in.
You share product, quantity, target specification and destination port. We confirm what we can match and flag anything that needs a trade-off.
We return a costed quotation under EXW, FOB, CFR or CIF — whichever Incoterm suits your shipping arrangement — with validity and payment terms.
On agreement, we issue a proforma invoice. Payment structure (advance, LC, or DP/DA) is set based on order size and buyer history.
Raw material is sourced or pulled from inventory and scheduled into cleaning, grading and lab testing against your spec.
Goods are packed to your specified format. A pre-shipment sample or inspection report can be shared before container loading on request.
Fumigation certificate, phytosanitary certificate, certificate of origin and commercial documents are prepared in parallel with packing.
FCL containers are stuffed at our facility or a nearby CFS; LCL shipments are consolidated. Customs clearance is filed for departure.
Bill of lading, invoice, packing list and certificates are couriered or sent digitally ahead of vessel arrival so your customs clearance isn't delayed.
| Incoterm | Who Arranges Freight | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| EXW | Buyer, from our warehouse | Buyers with their own India-based freight forwarder |
| FOB | We deliver to vessel; buyer covers ocean freight | Most first-time and repeat buyers |
| CFR | We arrange freight; buyer covers insurance | Buyers wanting a landed price without insurance hassle |
| CIF | We arrange freight and insurance | Buyers wanting a single all-in quoted price |
Our standard arrangement for confirmed bulk orders — most efficient cost-per-tonne for buyers ordering a full 20ft or 40ft container.
Consolidated shipping for smaller trial orders, particularly useful for first-time buyers building trust before a full container commitment.
From confirmed order to vessel departure, depending on commodity, packing format and current shipping line schedules.
