How buying works
A clear path from enquiry to destination port
Transparent steps for importers, distributors, and institutional buyers — from RFQ in Kollam to cargo on your corridor.
The export journey
Four steps. One commercial rhythm.
Each stage is designed so your team knows what to send, what you will receive, and when documentation and packing move forward.
- 01
Step 01
Share your requirement
Tell us the products, packing preference, destination country, and approximate quantity through our RFQ form or WhatsApp.
A clear brief helps us match grade, pack format, and corridor expectations without back-and-forth delays.
- Product names / SKUs from our catalog
- Destination country and preferred port
- Approximate quantity and target timeline
- Pack preference: retail, institutional, or private label
02Step 02
Receive a formal quotation
We respond with product availability, packing options, and commercial terms (FOB/CIF) suited to your shipment.
Quotations are written for commercial review — not informal chat estimates — so your buying team can compare landed options.
- Availability and indicative lead time
- Packing configurations and labelling options
- FOB or CIF terms for your corridor
- Notes on documentation relevant to the shipment
03Step 03
Confirm order & documentation
After confirmation, we coordinate packing, labelling, and export documentation supported by our IEC, ICEGATE, FSSAI, APEDA, and Spices Board registrations.
Once commercial terms are accepted, we lock packing specs and prepare the export file your forwarder or destination broker will expect.
- Order confirmation and packing lock
- Labelling / private-label coordination
- Export documentation aligned to Indian registrations
- Shipment-file support for your destination market
04Step 04
Ship to your destination
Goods are packed for export and shipped from India to Europe, UK, USA, Canada, GCC, Africa, East Asia, and other agreed destinations.
Cargo moves from Kerala packing into the agreed ocean corridor — with commercial follow-up until your team has what it needs at destination.
- Export packing and container / LCL coordination
- Dispatch to Europe, UK, USA, Canada, GCC, Africa, or East Asia
- Tracking and commercial updates on request
- Support for repeat and programme orders
Before you enquire
What helps us quote accurately
You do not need a perfect purchase order on day one — these four signals are enough for a serious first quotation.
- 01
Product & grade
Which catalog items you need, and any grade or blend preferences.
- 02
Pack format
Retail packets, institutional bags, cartons, or private-label requirements.
- 03
Corridor
Destination country, preferred port, and whether you buy FOB or CIF.
- 04
Volume signal
Trial quantity now, and whether you expect a recurring programme.
Commercial terms
FOB and CIF — quoted to fit your corridor
We quote the Incoterm that matches how you prefer to control freight and insurance. Final numbers are always confirmed in a formal quotation.
FOB
Free on Board
You arrange main carriage from the Indian load port. Useful when your forwarder already controls the lane into Europe, the UK, USA, Canada, GCC, Africa, or East Asia.
CIF
Cost, Insurance & Freight
We include freight and insurance to your named destination port — a clearer landed conversation for buyers who want one commercial package.
Compliance backbone
Documentation supported by active Indian registrations
Packing and paperwork sit on IEC, ICEGATE, GST, FSSAI Central, APEDA e-RCMS, and Spices Board e-RCMS — so destination buyers can diligence a real export counterpart.
