Evidence by Order
What is standard, optional, or shipment-specific?
Sampling & inspection
A representative sample or physical inspection may be arranged when relevant. Selection method and acceptance responsibility are agreed first.
Laboratory testing
Parameters, analytical methods, acceptance limits, sampling, provider, timing, and cost must be agreed. Testing is not implied unless confirmed.
Traceability
Required lot identification and supporting records are discussed for the product and supply route. Available evidence can vary by produce type and supplier.
Packing
Material, ventilation, unit size, markings, label responsibility, and air-freight handling requirements are confirmed subject to product and destination suitability.
Documents
The commercial and shipment document set depends on product, destination, Incoterm, authority eligibility, and the parties’ agreed responsibilities.
Clear Responsibilities
Important boundaries for international buyers.
COSWIFT reviews its export-side scope against the commercial agreement. The importer remains responsible for independently confirming destination-country import eligibility, permits, product registration, labelling, tax, customs, food-safety, and local compliance obligations.
Crop conditions, seasonal availability, agricultural variation, laboratory timing, carrier capacity, and regulatory changes can affect a proposed order. Material changes should be reviewed before acceptance or dispatch.
