Reliable Export Logistics for Green Coffee
Our logistics and export process is designed to ensure that every shipment of green coffee reaches our buyers in optimal condition. From origin preparation to international delivery, we follow strict quality control and export procedures to maintain the integrity of each coffee lot.
We work with experienced export partners, freight forwarders, and shipping lines to ensure that shipments move efficiently from origin to destination markets, including the United States and other global coffee hubs.
Export Process
Our export workflow follows a structured process to ensure transparency and reliability for every buyer.
1. Coffee Selection & Quality Evaluation
Coffee lots are selected based on quality standards, grading results, and cupping evaluations aligned with the protocols of the Specialty Coffee Association.
2. Sample Approval
Green coffee samples are sent to buyers for roasting and cupping evaluation before confirming commercial shipments.
3. Contract Confirmation
Once the buyer approves the coffee, a sales contract is issued confirming the agreed quantity, price, and shipping terms.
4. Export Preparation
Coffee is prepared for export through cleaning, grading, moisture testing, and final packaging to ensure the beans meet international export standards.
5. Container Loading & Shipment
Coffee is loaded into export containers and shipped via international cargo vessels to the buyer’s destination port.
Packaging Standards
To preserve freshness and quality during long-distance shipping, our green coffee is packaged using industry-standard materials:
- 60 kg jute bags
- Hermetic GrainPro liners for moisture protection
- Palletized packaging when required
- Container desiccants to reduce humidity during transit
These packaging methods help maintain bean stability during ocean transport.
Export Documentation
Each shipment includes all necessary export documentation required for international coffee trade. This typically includes:
- Commercial Invoice
- Packing List
- Bill of Lading
- Certificate of Origin
- Phytosanitary Certificate
- Quality and grading reports when required
These documents ensure smooth import clearance in destination markets and compliance with regulatory authorities such as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
Shipping Terms
We typically operate under internationally recognized shipping terms, including:
- FOB (Free On Board) – coffee is delivered to the export port and loaded onto the vessel nominated by the buyer
- CIF (Cost, Insurance and Freight) – shipping, freight, and insurance are arranged by our team to the destination port
Shipping terms can be tailored to suit the buyer’s logistics preferences.
Shipping Destinations
We regularly export green coffee to international coffee markets including:
- United States
- Europe
- Middle East
- Asia
Transit times vary depending on the shipping route and destination port, but our team provides shipment updates and vessel tracking once cargo has been dispatched.
Commitment to Reliable Supply
Our goal is to provide buyers with dependable export logistics supported by transparent communication, professional documentation, and consistent shipping schedules.
By combining origin sourcing expertise with international logistics experience, we ensure that our green coffee arrives ready for roasting and distribution in global markets.
