Every shipment is entered in our Verified Exporter page. Buyer references and BL copies available to qualified buyers on request.

If we fail to ship by the contractual deadline in your signed proforma, or if the lot fails your appointed pre-shipment inspection (SGS, Bureau Veritas, Intertek or your own surveyor), the affected milestone is refunded within 14 days of written notice.

We load only after QC passes. You release 70% only after B/L.
