Introduction

For global food buyers, understanding how a B2B export order works from start to finish can make international sourcing smoother, faster, and risk-free. At Manjulam Impex, we simplify this process by offering structured steps, transparent communication, and documentation support.

Here’s a breakdown of what happens once you reach out to us  from your first inquiry to final delivery at your port.

Initial Inquiry & Requirement Match

This is where your export journey begins:

  • You share your product needs ( wood-pressed oil, A2 ghee, pickles)

  • We confirm specs: quantity, packaging, certifications, labeling

  • Our team checks country-specific import norms (Halal, organic, FSSAI, COA etc.)

  • Sample/trial batch options are offered for testing

At this stage, MOQs, pricing estimates, and available variants are shared transparently.

Quotation & Proforma Invoice

Once you finalize the product specs:

  • A Proforma Invoice (PI) is issued with HS code, SKU-wise rates, INCOTERMS (FOB/CIF), and estimated shipping time

  • Includes all cost breakdowns: product + packaging + logistics

  • Terms of payment (advance, LC, etc.) are clearly defined

This PI becomes your go-ahead document for placing the order.

Order Confirmation & Production

After PI approval and advance payment:

  • Production is booked and begins as per your packaging requirements

  • Custom labeling or private label options are executed

  • Food-safe export packaging (leak-proof, climate-stable) is prepared

  • COA, lab tests, Halal/organic docs are generated

 Each batch is quality-checked and batch-tested for export standards.

Final Packing & Export Documentation

Before shipping:

  • All goods are packed SKU-wise and palletized (if needed)

  • Documents prepared: Packing List, Commercial Invoice, Certificate of Origin, FSSAI, COA, shipping bill

  • Buyer receives soft copies for pre-clearance coordination

  • Labels follow destination country norms

Every export doc is compliant with Indian and global trade laws.

Shipping, Tracking & Delivery

Finally:

  • Goods are shipped via air/sea under FOB, CIF, or Ex-Works terms

  • Tracking number, container details, and ETA are shared

  • Buyer receives hard copies via courier for customs clearance

  • Post-shipment support is offered for delays, clearance, or document resends

 You stay informed at every step  till goods safely arrive.
