TRIAL SHIPMENTS
At SRMS Ventures Private Limited, we follow a trial-based export approach to ensure quality alignment, transparency, and long-term trade relationships.
Trial shipments allow both buyers and sellers to evaluate product quality, packaging standards, documentation accuracy, and delivery timelines before scaling to larger volumes.
WHY TRIAL SHIPMENTS ARE IMPORTANT
International trade involves multiple variables such as product quality, logistics handling, documentation, and port procedures.
For new business relationships, a trial shipment helps to:
Reduce commercial risk for both parties
Confirm product quality and specifications
Evaluate packing and handling standards
Verify documentation accuracy
Build operational confidence before repeat orders
This approach is widely followed in global commodity and spice trade.
TYPICAL TRIAL SHIPMENT QUANTITY
For initial orders, we recommend:
Quantity: 1–2 MT
Packaging: Standard export packing
Delivery Terms: FOB or CIF (as agreed, Incoterms® 2020)
Trial shipments are intentionally kept small to ensure smooth execution before volume scaling.
WHAT BUYERS CAN EVALUATE
During a trial shipment, buyers can assess:
Product quality and uniformity
Curcumin level and moisture compliance
Packing strength and labeling clarity
Export documentation accuracy
Transit handling and arrival condition
This evaluation forms the foundation for long-term supply partnerships.
PAYMENT TERMS FOR TRIAL SHIPMENTS
For initial trial shipments, we follow standard international export practice:
40% advance payment by bank transfer
60% balance payment before release of shipping documents
These terms help ensure serious engagement and smooth coordination for both parties.
Payment terms may be reviewed for repeat orders after successful trial shipments.
QUALITY ASSURANCE DURING TRIAL SHIPMENT
For each trial shipment, we ensure:
Sourcing from verified suppliers
Batch-wise quality inspection
Export-grade packing
Compliance with agreed specifications
Only fresh-crop material is supplied for export orders.
EXPORT DOCUMENTATION PROVIDED
Trial shipments are dispatched with complete export documentation, including:
Commercial Invoice
Packing List
Certificate of Origin
Phytosanitary Certificate (if required)
Lab Test Report (on request)
Documentation is verified carefully before dispatch.
AFTER TRIAL SHIPMENT APPROVAL
Once the trial shipment is successfully completed and approved, we support:
Repeat orders
Increased shipment volumes
Long-term supply planning
Customized packing (if required)
Our objective is to establish stable, repeat trade relationships, not one-time transactions.
OUR APPROACH
We believe that trial shipments create:
Transparency
Trust
Operational clarity
Sustainable business growth
This structured approach benefits both buyers and suppliers and ensures long-term cooperation.
IMPORTANT NOTE FOR BUYERS
We strongly recommend beginning with a trial shipment to ensure complete quality and process alignment before scaling volumes.
This approach has proven effective in building reliable international trade partnerships.
