What is your minimum order quantity?
MOQ depends on the product, typically one 20 ft container for food and bulk goods or one pallet for smaller lines. Each product page lists its MOQ.
Which payment terms do you offer?
We work with letters of credit, bank transfer (T/T) and, for established buyers, open account terms. Terms are agreed per contract.
How long does shipping take?
Sea freight typically takes 10 to 35 days depending on the lane, and air freight 3 to 7 days. We confirm transit times with every quote.
Can I inspect goods before shipping?
Yes. We arrange pre-shipment inspections by our team or an independent agency of your choice, with photo and lab reports.
Do you provide samples?
Samples are available for most products. We ship by courier and credit the sample cost against your first order.
