Incoterms, payment terms, loading ports, loadability and the documents that come with the cargo — the commercial detail buyers check before they send an enquiry.
Which of these we offer for your route is confirmed with the quotation — the cards below explain what each one means for your side of the transaction.

Terms are agreed in the contract before production starts. First orders and repeat programmes are usually treated differently.
Letter of credit at sight through a bank acceptable to both parties, with documents presented against the L/C terms. Our preferred instrument for full-container programmes.
Telegraphic transfer — typically 30% advance on contract with the balance against scanned shipping documents, or 100% advance on smaller and first orders.
Documents against payment or acceptance, or open terms backed by credit insurance, considered case by case for established repeat buyers.
Hyderabad is inland, so cargo is trucked to the loading port. These figures are confirmed in writing with the quotation.
Seven stages, one point of contact throughout.
You send the product, specification, quantity, Incoterm and destination port. We come back with a quotation and a lead time.
A pre-shipment sample is couriered for approval against the agreed specification before the contract is confirmed.
Contract issued covering specification, packing, price, Incoterm, shipment window and payment terms; L/C opened or advance received.
Lots procured and inspected, moisture verified, packed in the approved material with lot coding and verified weights.
Container inspected, stuffing supervised with tally and photographs, seal applied and recorded.
Customs clearance, bill of lading, certificate of origin, phytosanitary and other documents issued, then couriered or presented to the bank.
Tracking shared until arrival, with retained samples held against the shipment in case of any query.
The set is tailored to your L/C and to the importing country's requirements. Missing or mismatched documents are the most common cause of a delayed clearance, so we prepare them against your bank's terms.
Documentation support is included, not charged as an extra
