Claim in 48 hours.
Not at the next fair.

Photographs, the seal, and the temperature. The loading survey is the Pakistan half. Your surveyor at discharge is the other half.

Zarkaar Group, Shesha Basti Talab, Multan. Updated 2026-10-02.

The claims call is for a lot that has arrived and is wrong. You have 48 hours from discharge to open the file. Bring photographs, pulp or bag temperatures, the seal number, and the delivery note. The loading survey and the seal photographs from Pakistan are the file we already hold. A story told three weeks later at a trade show is not a claim.

We will look at condition, temperature abuse, and a shortage against the packing list. We will not reopen a grade argument that the pre-shipment lab sheet already settled, and we will not treat a late truck in your city as a defect in Multan. Destination charges, duty, and demurrage stay with the buyer.

What the call can decide

Facts that were recorded. Not a new contract.

Temperature

Mango should have travelled at 8–12°C. Onion at 0–4°C. If the reefer download shows a different life, say so and send the file. A warm carton in a photograph, with no download, is a weaker claim. We will tell you that on the call.

Shortage and damage

Count against the packing list. Crushed cartons need pictures before the load is rebuilt. Once the fruit is in your cold store and mixed with another shipper, the lot is no longer the lot we can see.

What we will refuse

A claim that the sea voyage to the USA should have worked. We do not ship that mango by sea. A claim for wheat grain we did not load. A claim whose first notice is a public post instead of this call.

Who sits in

You, and the surveyor who saw the container if you appointed one. We do not conference a whole buying office. Send the documents before the hour so the call is a decision and not a reading lesson. The written claim path is the arrival-claim page. This meeting is that path, spoken, inside the same 48 hours.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Can we raise the claim at Gulfood?
No. Forty-eight hours from discharge. A March fair does not extend a claim from last July.
Who pays the discharge survey?
You do, if you want one. We do not appoint your arrival surveyor.
Will you accept a claim without the seal number?
Send what you have. A missing seal number is a weaker file. We will say so rather than invent a match.
Does a claim freeze the next season’s price?
No. A claim is about this lot. The next book is a new proforma.

Get in touch

Send the photographs and the seal number.
