Garlic sourcing process checkpoints that prevent surprises
- Define your target spec. Size, grade, packaging, labeling, tolerances, and defect limits should be written down before you talk price. This prevents “same same” misunderstandings later.
- Supplier due diligence. Verify the exporter identity, capacity, history, and document consistency. A good price is useless if the paperwork or traceability breaks at import.
- Quote comparison with assumptions. Make sure everyone quotes the same Incoterms, packing, pallet rules, and inspection scope.
- Pre production confirmation. Approve packaging artwork, carton marks, pallet pattern, and photo samples before mass production.
- Sampling and lab checks (when needed). Use samples to confirm appearance, defects, and shelf stability expectations before committing full volume.
- In process quality control. Check sorting, grading, net weight, carton quality, and sealing during production, not only at the end.
- Pre shipment inspection. Confirm quantity, container loading standards, and evidence pack (photos, videos, reports) so you can defend claims if needed.
- Compliance and entry readiness. Align documents and phytosanitary steps with the importer’s process and destination requirements.
- Shipment follow up and post arrival review. Track issues, update the checklist, and lock improvements into the next order.
