  • Nut count
  • Moisture content
  • Foreign matter
  • Packaging options
  • Available quantity
  • Export grade

Confirming these details ensures the shipment aligns with your purchasing requirements.

Step 4: Request Product Samples

Sampling allows buyers to assess product quality before making a bulk purchase.

Samples can be evaluated for nut size, cleanliness, moisture level, appearance, and overall suitability for processing or export distribution.

Step 5: Confirm Pricing and Commercial Terms

After approving the sample, both parties should finalize the commercial agreement.

This typically includes pricing, payment terms, Incoterms, shipment schedules, delivery timelines, and other contractual obligations. Clear agreements promote smooth and transparent transactions.

Step 6: Finalize the Supply Contract

A formal contract protects both the buyer and supplier.

The agreement should clearly define product specifications, order quantity, quality standards, pricing, payment conditions, shipment schedules, and delivery responsibilities before export preparation begins.

Step 7: Verify Product Quality

Before shipment, Palmadex conducts final quality inspections to confirm the raw cashew nuts meet the agreed specifications.

Inspection areas typically include moisture content, nut count, cleanliness, foreign matter, packaging condition, and overall export readiness.

Step 8: Review Export Documentation

Complete and accurate documentation is essential for successful international trade.

Typical export documents include:

  • Commercial Invoice
  • Packing List
  • Certificate of Origin
  • Phytosanitary Certificate
  • Bill of Lading
  • Inspection Reports (where applicable)

Proper documentation supports efficient customs clearance and minimizes unnecessary delays.

Step 9: Coordinate Shipment and Delivery

Reliable logistics help ensure products arrive safely and on schedule.

Palmadex coordinates packaging, container loading, export documentation, shipping schedules, and transportation with experienced logistics partners to support efficient global deliveries.

Step 10: Receive Your Shipment and Build a Long-Term Partnership

After delivery, inspect the shipment to verify it meets the agreed specifications.

Many buyers establish long-term relationships with Palmadex because of our dependable supply, consistent product quality, and professional export support. Strong partnerships help ensure reliable sourcing for future orders.
