How a mango pack actually clears
- Fruit is graded and hot-water treated at 48°C; the HWT log is kept per lot.
- NPPO inspects at the packhouse and issues the Phytosanitary Certificate for that consignment.
- USA-bound fruit is packed in APHIS-approved cartons and routed via Dubai irradiation (PPQ 587). Direct sea to the US is not a mango option.
- Halal and KCCI Certificate of Origin are raised in parallel. Gulf buyers should assume both are required.
- Scans go to the importer 48 hours before B/L. Originals follow the payment terms on the Proforma Invoice.
Grain, cotton, onion
Rice, corn, and cotton add fumigation and a mill/lab sheet (moisture, broken %, grain length, aflatoxin or staple as relevant). Onion ships on phyto + Halal + origin, reefer. Wheat grain is not documented for export while the national ban holds — we will not pre-issue a phyto on cargo we cannot legally load.
If your destination adds a protocol we have not listed (Japan, Australia, New Zealand mango rules, for example), put the country in the inquiry. We confirm the chain before we take a deposit — we do not discover a missing certificate at the port.
