Flowchart

Direct Trade Procedure

1. Lot Selection & Inquiry

Browse our catalog of verified single-origin or commercial lots. Send a general inquiry or specify your criteria using our RFQ form.

2. Sample Evaluation

Request product samples (typically 200g - 500g of green or roasted beans). Samples are prepared by QC and sent via international courier (DHL/FedEx).

3. Price Negotiation & Contract Signing

Upon sample approval, sales managers issue a formal Proforma Invoice. We agree on volume, shipping terms (FOB/CIF/DDP), packaging preferences, and payment terms.

4. Milling, Sorting & Quality Control

Beans are processed, color-sorted, and verified for moisture levels (11-12.5% max) in our partner mills. Certificates of Analysis (COA) are generated.

5. Customs Clearance & Loading

Containers are loaded at Indonesian ports (Belawan, Tanjung Priok, or Tanjung Perak). Customs declaration, phytosanitary inspection, and fumigation are performed.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is the Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ)?

The MOQ varies depending on the lot. Specialty micro-lots usually start from 1,000 kg (1 MT), while commercial grading beans typically require a minimum of 18 MT (equivalent to a full 20ft FCL container).

What payment terms are accepted?

For standard contracts, we accept Letter of Credit (L/C at sight) or Telegraphic Transfer (T/T). The typical T/T structure is 30% deposit upon contract signature and 70% balance against copy of Bill of Lading (B/L).

Do you charge for coffee samples?

Coffee samples are free of charge (up to 500 grams). However, buyers are required to cover the international courier shipment fees (DHL, FedEx). Tracking numbers will be provided immediately.

What is the typical shipping lead time?

Once the Proforma Invoice is signed and the deposit/LC is received, standard lead time ranges between 30 and 45 days. This includes milling, sorting, bags bagging, customs clearance, and container shipping.
