What is your typical Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ)?

Our standard marine container MOQ is 1 full refrigerated container load (FCL) of either 20ft or 40ft depending on the fruit's storage limits. For perishable air cargo shipments like our select Kashmiri cherries, we accommodate custom volume commitments starting at 3 Metric Tons.

How do you ensure zero cold-chain breaks during sea transit?

Every shipment relies on state-of-the-art Carrier/Daub refrigerated container equipment pre-cooled to species-specific limits (0°C to 4°C). We integrate physical USB and automated cellular telemetry loggers inside cargo units to monitor live temperature, relative humidity, and air circulation vents.

Can VGF Global execute private branding and carton design?

Absolutely. We routinely custom-brand double-walled corrugated or solid-fiber board boxes to fit your destination market's specific dimension and layout requirements. Note that customized carton printing requires a 10-day preparation lead time prior to the harvest period scheduling.

What certifications are provided with international orders?

Each outbound vessel container includes an official Phytosanitary Clearance Certificate from APEDA/Indian Ministry of Agriculture, a certified Chamber of Origin certificate, detailed packing lists, and sea waybills. Organic or specific pesticide retention reports can also be prepared.

What payment terms and schedules do you accept?

We operate on a 30% advance telegraphic deposit (T/T) schedule, with the remaining 70% balanced against scanned shipping documents and Bill of Lading sheets. For seasoned corporate clients with recurring ocean agreements, we accept confirmed Letters of Credit (L/C).

How does Indian Customs clearance and fumigation schedule operate?

Our logistics team handles state-level export clearance, dockside pre-cooling, and forced-air container fumigation processes under direct phytosanitary monitoring. All procedures are coordinated prior to port entry to achieve faster customs clearance cycles.
