Dried Galangal Slices for Buyers in the Netherlands
Keep the accepted slice reference intact from Dutch intake to the final customer. Repacking or onward delivery must not leave the cut specification ambiguous.
Agree Who Inspects Before Repacking
If a Dutch warehouse or repacker opens the bags before onward sale, agree when a representative sample is taken and who judges fragments and appearance. Two businesses may expect different slice ranges. Find that out before a downstream complaint, not after.
For a customer that uses the slices directly, keep the trial notes with the commercial specification. If the onward customer mills them, compare the larger-piece option before assuming the defined cut has value.
For onward sales from the Netherlands, agree whether the Dutch receiver may approve a variation or must consult the final customer first. Record the sample reference in that handoff. A warehouse should never have to guess whether extra small pieces are acceptable when a different business further down the chain holds the customer specification.
Keep the Import Identity Through the Handoff
Use NVWA's guidance on non-animal food for your Dutch representative's entry review. We suggest one operational step: keep the imported product and lot identity when packs are changed, so customer feedback can still be traced to the incoming material.

Questions Before Ordering
Can Repacking Change the Acceptance Standard?
Only by agreement with the customer. Record the incoming slice specification and any agreed sorting or presentation step separately.
Who Should Approve Slices Sold Through a Dutch Trader?
The party responsible for the final use supplies its requirements. The trader and the receiver agree how those requirements are checked at intake.
