  1. Send your inquiry

    Contact us by WhatsApp, email or Instagram with your product, quantity, destination country and preferred shipping terms (FOB, CIF or CFR). We respond within 1 business day.

  2. Receive our quotation

    A formal quotation states the specification, unit price in USD, minimum order quantity, estimated lead time and payment terms. It is valid for 14 business days.

  3. Request a sample (optional)

    Samples are shipped by DHL or FedEx at the buyer's cost. The size depends on the commodity, typically 5 to 10 kg for briquettes and 100 to 200 g for vanilla. Delivery usually takes 5 to 10 business days.

  4. Confirm your order

    Send your official Purchase Order. We verify it against the accepted quotation.

  5. Sign the Sales Contract

    We send two original copies. Production or sourcing begins only after both parties have signed.

  6. Pay the down payment

    After signing we issue a Proforma Invoice. Production and procurement start once the down payment is confirmed.

  7. Production and quality control

    We source or produce your order and run quality control before packing. A QC report and a Certificate of Analysis from an accredited laboratory are prepared at this stage.

  8. Cargo ready and shipment

    After QC we arrange packing and container stuffing. We send stuffing confirmation photos, and the shipping documents follow after the vessel departs.

  9. Pay the balance

    When the vessel has departed and the Bill of Lading is ready, we ask for the remaining balance. The original B/L is released once the balance is confirmed.

  10. Receive your cargo

    Use the original documents to clear customs at the port of discharge. Please tell us once the cargo is received so we can follow up on quality feedback.

Frequently asked questions

Can you supply a commodity that is not on your product list?

Send us the commodity, the specification you need, the volume and the destination port. We reply within 1 business day and tell you what we still need to verify with our suppliers. If supply is confirmed, you receive a formal quotation with a written specification. If it is not, we tell you plainly. A commodity we ship regularly is added to the product list.

Can I mix commodities in one order?

Yes. You may order several commodities in one container. Each commodity has its own documentation. Please mention this in your first inquiry so we can advise the best container arrangement.

Can I visit your warehouse or farms before ordering?

Buyer visits to our production and sourcing locations are welcome. Please coordinate with us at least 14 days in advance, and we will arrange the visit at no additional cost.

What happens if the product does not match the specification?

Submit a written claim with supporting evidence, such as photos or a lab report, within 14 calendar days of cargo arrival. We give a first response within 24 hours, investigate, and offer a resolution within 7 business days.
