Quality is checked before it ships, not after it lands

Five control points between a supplier's warehouse and your port. Inspection costs are quoted separately and can be nominated by the buyer.

  1. 01

    Supplier verification

    • Registrations: GST, IEC, Udyam / MCA, FSSAI, BIS or drug licence as relevant
    • Unit visit: capacity, hygiene, storage and process controls
    • Past export documents and certifications checked against issuing bodies
  2. 02

    Specification lock

    • Written specification per contract: grade, size, moisture, purity, residues, packing
    • Reference sample sealed and retained by both sides
  3. 03

    Lot testing

    • NABL-accredited Indian laboratory reports for food and chemicals
    • Destination-specific tests where needed: pesticide residues and ethylene oxide for EU spices, aflatoxin for nuts, microbiology for ready-to-eat foods
  4. 04

    Pre-shipment inspection

    • Independent inspection (SGS, Bureau Veritas, Intertek or the buyer's nominee) on request
    • Quantity, packing, marking and container condition checked before sealing
    • Photos of stuffing and seal numbers shared with the buyer

    Documents
