Our Rice import procedure in eight steps: terms, payment options and the documents you will receive, written out so there are no surprises between quotation and delivery.
The commercial side of the import procedure. Each option below is written into the proforma invoice before production starts. Terms are agreed per contract and may vary by destination and shipment size. Additional certifications or embassy legalisations are arranged at extra cost.
Every order follows the same import procedure, whether it is a first trial container or a repeat contract. The eight steps below run from your first message to the release order at your destination port, with the documents you receive at each stage.
Submit through the quotation form, email info@greenriceexports.com or WhatsApp +92 314 2222040. Variety, form, quantity, pack size, destination and any private label needs.
A call, meeting or chat to confirm specification, market requirements and timing.
We quote with Incoterms (FOR, FOB, CNF or CIF) for your review. You confirm the order.
You share company details. We issue the proforma invoice. You return it signed and authorised.
Advance payment by bank transfer, or a letter of credit as agreed. For private label, brand artwork is supplied for printing.
On confirmed payment or LC and final artwork, bags are printed and Rice is packed. Goods move from our facilities in Punjab or Karachi to Karachi Port, clear customs and load on the vessel.
On loading you receive scanned shipping documents: commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin, bill of lading, fumigation certificate, phytosanitary certificate, insurance certificate and laboratory test report where the contract calls for residue testing. You complete payment; originals are couriered to the consignee or surrendered to the shipping line. Additional certifications or legalisations are charged extra.
You take possession of the cargo against the original or scanned documents and the release order.
Send these with your first message and the import procedure moves straight to a quotation. Missing details are not a problem, we ask for them on the call, but every answer given up front saves a round of email.
If you are new to importing Rice from Pakistan, the import procedure on this page is the same one our long standing buyers follow, and we walk you through each step on the first order.
Shipments load at Karachi Port, where our two Karachi units sit a short drive from the terminals. Sailing options are checked before we quote.
