Frequently Asked Questions
What minimum order quantity do you accept for cardamom exports?
We accommodate various business sizes with minimum orders starting at 100kg for premium grades and 250kg for standard grades. For first-time customers, we also offer smaller sample orders of 25kg to verify quality before larger commitments.
How do you ensure cardamom freshness during shipping?
Our cardamom is vacuum-sealed and nitrogen-flushed immediately after final quality checks. This process removes oxygen that could degrade essential oils and extends shelf life to 18-24 months when properly stored. For longer sea shipments, we use specialized container liners to control humidity.
What payment terms do you offer for international customers?
We offer flexible payment options including Letter of Credit (L/C), 50% advance payment with balance against shipping documents, and for established customers, open account terms with 30-day payment cycles. All transactions are processed through secure banking channels with major international banks.
How do you handle quality issues or disputes?
While extremely rare due to our rigorous quality control, we maintain a fair resolution policy. All shipments are insured, and we offer replacement guarantees for any quality issues identified upon arrival. Independent third-party inspection services can be arranged at loading for additional assurance.
Can you provide organic certified cardamom?
Yes, we maintain separate organic-certified supply chains with full traceability. Our organic cardamom meets USDA, EU, and Indian organic standards with proper certification documentation provided with each shipment.
