Loading and transit

Cartoned dry cargo, so standard dry container loading applies. East-coast routings via Suez and west-coast routings via transhipment differ significantly in transit time, so the discharge port is confirmed at enquiry.

Deep-sea services from Nhava Sheva and Mundra to the east coast via Suez, or to the west coast via transhipment. Transit times differ significantly by coast, so quote the discharge port at enquiry.

Trade considerations for United States

  • Food consignments require the importer's registration and prior-notice filing; the importer of record handles this.
  • Labelling and ingredient declaration requirements are agreed before production.
  • Contaminant and residue limits are written into the contract with the inspection basis.

General guidance for buyers planning a shipment. Requirements change and are confirmed against the applicable rules for your product and destination before any order is placed. This page does not state that Abhaam Corp holds approvals or existing customers in United States.
