Inquiry to Delivery — Eight Defined Stages
Every shipment follows the same documented workflow — quote, sample, contract, packing, inspection, documentation, shipment, delivery. No ambiguity, no hidden handoffs. You know where your cargo stands at every stage.
Eight Stages, Zero Guesswork
Inquiry & Quote
Sample Approval
Contract & Payment
Pack House Processing
On request, we dispatch a graded sample consignment. Approval locks the variety, grade, and size specification for your order.
Produce enters our Pimpalgaon facility — sorting, grading, curing, weight checks, and carton or mesh packing to buyer specification.
Submit your product, quantity, destination port, and preferred Incoterm. We respond with a firm FOB quote within 24 hours.
We issue a proforma invoice. Payment is confirmed via LC at sight, TT advance, or D/P before packing commences.
Pre-Shipment Inspection
Documentation
Shipment from Port
Destination Delivery
Commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, certificate of origin, phytosanitary certificate — complete set dispatched to your bank or freight forwarder.
Third-party or buyer-nominated inspection at our facility. Phytosanitary certificate issued by authorised government agency.
Cargo moves from JNPT or Mundra in dry, ventilated, or reefer containers depending on product. Booking reference shared with buyer on departure.
We track until arrival and stay available for post-arrival queries. Repeat order terms discussed at this stage for consistent supply.
Three Trade Terms, Your Choice
LC, TT Advance, or D/P
Letter of Credit at sight is preferred for new buyers — clean, bank-guaranteed, globally standard. TT advance accepted for established relationships. D/P available on agreed terms for trading houses with prior history.
FOB: risk transfers at JNPT or Mundra port — you control onward freight. CFR: we book and pay ocean freight to your named port. CIF: freight and marine insurance both covered by us to destination.
All transactions conducted in USD. Proforma invoice issued before any payment is initiated. SWIFT confirmation required for TT before cargo is loaded.
Answers Before You Ask
What container types do you use?
