In our vanilla export business, establishing a minimum order quantity is crucial for optimizing logistics and costs. By setting a minimum order quantity of 10 kg, we ensure more efficient management of inventories and shipments, while preserving the superior quality of our vanilla. This preventive measure against excessive order fragmentation ensures that each batch of vanilla remains in its best condition. It also encourages our customers to anticipate and plan their purchases, which contributes to the stability and reliability of our business operations. A well-designed minimum order policy is therefore essential to maintaining our reputation for excellence in the highly competitive vanilla export sector.

At our company, we make it our mission to ensure the safety of your goods during transport to their destination. To that end, we have made it our policy to opt for all-risk insurance, which offers comprehensive protection against the eventuality of loss or damage to goods throughout their journey. With regard to Incoterms, we are equipped to handle FOB (Free On Board), DAP (Delivered At Place), and CIF (Cost, Insurance and Freight) terms, thereby ensuring optimum coverage and compliance at every stage of the shipping process.
For shipping vanilla, air freight is the optimal method to guarantee freshness and uniform quality. This method is also suitable for small quantity orders, with shipments of up to 10 kg or 1,500 kg by air.
For exotic products requiring large-volume orders, sea freight is the preferred method. This allows us to manage freight efficiently according to the size and nature of the products to be shipped. Each mode of transport is carefully chosen to optimize costs while ensuring the best possible preservation of products in transit.
Tracking your shipment is easy and intuitive. Once we apply the tracking label to your package, the unique number is recorded in the carrier's system. You'll receive this number by email, allowing you to track your package live. You will then have access to precise information about the current location of your package, the various stages it has already passed through, and the estimated delivery date.

Obtaining a sample of our products is a simple process. Please contact us directly via WhatsApp or using the contact form on our website. This initial step will enable us to engage in a personalized conversation to understand precisely what your specific needs are. Our aim is to provide you with a tailor-made service, which is why we will take the time to negotiate with you the details of sending a sample that will perfectly meet your expectations. We are determined to ensure your complete satisfaction by offering you quality products and impeccable customer service.
Please be advised that the maximum weight permitted for a sample is strictly limited to 1.7 kg. This limitation is in place for a specific reason: the total weight of the sample, once packed, must not exceed 2 kg. Please note that exceeding the 2 kg threshold would require a customs declaration, which would entail additional administrative procedures and, consequently, a significant increase in the cost of the order. Conversely, a sample weighing less than 1.7 kg is deemed to have no commercial value and is thus not subject to such a declaration. This policy is designed to maintain the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of the shipping process while ensuring compliance with current customs regulations. It is therefore crucial to respect this weight limit to avoid unnecessary costs and potential delays in delivery. In short, the 1.7 kg weight limit is a preventive measure to ensure smooth, cost-effective management of sample shipments.
