Include Any Domestic Sea Leg in the Receiving Plan
Confirm Entry and the Receiving Scope
Ask the importer or broker to confirm entry eligibility and the food safety, plant-health, testing, and document requirements for the actual dried product, origin, processing, and intended use. This page does not establish admissibility or a universal certificate requirement.
Define Both Product and Journey
Confirm botanical identity, use, and cut or piece tolerance even if both parties know the commodity. Product familiarity does not remove the need for a sample and written acceptance criteria.
Map the journey after discharge where relevant. A domestic leg can be included or excluded by the actual commercial scope; it is not inherently absent from every quotation.
Assess Handling After Import
List the planned transfers, pallet breakdown, inner-unit distribution, and repacking. Assess outer strength, sealing, pack size, and traceability with the parties handling the material.
Confirm packing feasibility, assessment, and costs before production. Neither a larger piece nor an inner label guarantees that repeated handling will preserve the product.
Agree Storage and the Assessment Point
Agree the liner, outer pack, storage instructions, sampling basis, moisture limit, and assessment point against the proposed route and handling. A packing choice does not guarantee shelf life or arrival condition. Identify whether acceptance is assessed at import, final delivery, or another agreed point; do not assume those stages require different numeric limits.
