What is the Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ)?

Our standard MOQ is one 20ft container (approx. 18-20 tons). For first-time trial orders, we can discuss smaller consolidated shipments.

What are your accepted Payment Terms?

We typically work with T/T (50% Deposit, 50% against BL copy) or Irrevocable L/C at sight from top-tier banks.

Can you provide samples before placing an order?

Yes, we provide free samples (up to 2kg) for quality testing. The buyer usually covers the courier/shipping cost.

Do you offer custom packaging (OEM)?

Absolutely. We can print your brand logo and design on the inner boxes and master cartons. Design assistance is also available.

What are your shipping terms?

We generally operate on FOB (Free On Board) or CIF (Cost, Insurance, and Freight) terms, depending on your preference. We work with reliable shipping lines to ensure timely delivery.

How do you ensure product quality?

Quality is our priority. We conduct rigorous testing at every stage of production, including moisture content, ash content, and burning duration checks. We also welcome third-party inspections like SGS upon request.

Behind the Scenes at Overseas Exim: Packing a 40ft Container for Export

Overseas Exim | Tamil Nadu's Coco Peat Export Specialists

For most importers, a coco peat order begins as a quote and ends as a container arriving at their port. What happens in between — in the weeks of production, testing, packing, and documentation at our Tamil Nadu facility — is largely invisible to the buyer.

At Overseas Exim (www.overseasexim.com), we believe transparency builds trust. Today, we're opening the facility doors and taking you through exactly how a 40-foot container of coco peat gets packed, quality-checked, and shipped.

Step 1: Production Completion and Batch Assembly

Before any container is packed, the coco peat batch must complete production. For a standard 40ft container of 5kg blocks, this means approximately 4,800 blocks (24 tonnes). Each block has been:

Triple-washed to target EC
pH-tested and adjusted
Machine-dried to 18-22% moisture
Hydraulically compressed and wrapped in HDPE film

Step 2: Quality Check Before Loading

Our quality control team conducts a pre-dispatch inspection:

Visual check: Random sample of blocks inspected for colour consistency, compression integrity, and packaging condition. Weight check: Random sample weighed against the specified net weight. EC and pH verification: Final spot-check on the assembled batch.

The results feed into the Certificate of Analysis issued for the shipment.

Step 3: Container Positioning and Inspection

The 40-foot standard dry container (40ft x 8ft x 8.5ft, internal volume approximately 67 cubic metres) is inspected before loading:

Structural integrity: No holes, damage, or rust
Cleanliness: Interior free from previous cargo residue or moisture
Door seal condition: Rubber seals intact to prevent moisture ingress during transit
