What your quotation and shipment documents cover
Planning an onion container to Kuwait: agree the loading specification
Use these checks to prepare your enquiry and compare the offered lot. Targets and requested documents must be agreed in the written quotation; they are not a guarantee of every available lot.
Net bag weight and marks
Agree the net weight per bag, bag count, ventilation, stitching and buyer label before packing. Specify whether any pallet weight is included in the gross shipment weight.
Onion condition before loading
Ask for offered-lot photographs and agree the curing, size and defect tolerance. Discuss an inspection before loading rather than relying only on an old packing video.
Container plan
Confirm cargo condition, equipment type, ventilation or temperature instructions, payload limits and the final stowage plan with the logistics provider. Do not assume every 40ft container carries the same net tonnage.
Handover and arrival checks
Record the bag count, net and gross weight, seal and agreed loading evidence. Confirm port, routing, estimated transit and the buyer arrival inspection process.
