Pricing and terms
One quote. Here is what is in it.
Every order is priced to its specification, quantity and destination, so there is no price list. There is one quote, and it states what is included, what is not, how you pay and how long it holds.
Included, by delivery term
You choose how far we carry the order.
Within India we quote ex-works or delivered to your door; for export, FOB, CFR, CIF and DAP. If you are not sure which suits you, say so and we will advise.

Terms in plain view
What you would otherwise have to ask.
These are the terms every order follows. Your quote carries the specific terms that apply to your order, and you approve them before anything is bought.
- In every quote
- The goods to your specification, quality testing, the certificates and commercial documents your order needs, and the transport your delivery term includes — to your door in India, or to the port and through export clearance.
- GST, within India
- Your quote shows the GST that applies, and you receive a GST tax invoice for input tax credit.
- Never in a quote
- For export: import duties and taxes, import clearance, and charges at your port or beyond the named delivery point. These stay with you or your broker.
- Payment
- The payment method, currency and any advance are stated on your quote and agreed before you approve the order.
- Quote validity
- Freight and crop prices move, so every quote carries the date until which it holds.
- Minimum order
- Stated per product, with your quote. Tell us the quantity you need and we will say whether it can be sourced.
- Samples
- Ask for a sample in your requirement. Whether one is available, and on what terms, is confirmed with your quote.
- Cargo insurance
- Under CIF, the insurer, the clause and the insured value are written on your quote — not left to the minimum cover a CIF sale requires.
- If a lot fails
- A lot that fails the agreed specification at pre-shipment testing is not loaded.
- Claims after shipment
- What triggers a quality claim, the remedy, the window for raising it and who to contact are written into your contract. Loss or damage in transit is a claim on the cargo insurance.
- How we earn
- How we are paid for the service is stated on your quote, before you approve the order.
