Questions
Answers buyers usually want first
How do I request a quote?
Use the enquiry form on the Contact page or email business@sownargroup.com. Tell us the commodity, the quantity, the destination port and the specification you need, and we reply within one business day with availability and an indicative price.
What is your minimum order quantity?
It depends on the commodity and the season. As a guide, most buyers work in full-container quantities (one 20-foot container upward). Smaller trial quantities can sometimes be arranged; ask and we will tell you what is realistic.
How do you assure quality?
Every lot is tested against the specification in your contract through accredited laboratories and inspection agencies, and only what passes is shipped. You receive the laboratory's certificates directly, which is what most buyers and customs authorities want.
Which export documents do you provide?
The standard set is a commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin, phytosanitary certificate and bill of lading, along with NEPC-related export documentation. Fumigation certificates, third-party inspection reports and any destination-specific certificates are arranged on request.
What payment terms do you accept?
A confirmed irrevocable letter of credit, agreed per contract. We will discuss what works for the size of the order.
