Two kinds of shipping
This page covers export containers (mango, rice, grain, cotton, onion) and domestic Multan / South Punjab delivery for fertilizer, seed, and feed. They are not the same truck, and they are not the same clock.
Domestic khaad, seed, and feed
- Multan city: same-day, free, if the order is confirmed before 2:00 PM PKT.
- South Punjab: next day; transport billed on the WhatsApp quote.
- Toori (straw): trolley only, roughly 50 km of Multan.
- Cash on delivery accepted on domestic bags. Rate-lock needs a 20% transfer first.
Incoterms
Default: FOB Karachi. CIF available on request — we arrange freight and marine insurance at our procurement cost; you reimburse on B/L. EX-Works Multan available for buyers with their own Karachi forwarder.
Payment timing
- New buyers: 50% T/T advance against Proforma Invoice + 50% on document copies (B/L + Phyto + Halal). Originals released after second tranche clears.
- Established buyers: L/C at sight from a Tier 1 bank, or 30-day documents-against-acceptance.
