El protocolo de calidad de cinco pasos
Each step is a documented gate. No shipment moves without the prior gate signed off.
1. Auditoría del socio origen
Each producer cooperative, processor or exporter is audited on storage, pest control, batch traceability and historical phytosanitary record before the first PO.
Gate 1
2. Muestra pre-embarque + COA borrador
A 100 to 500 gram sample courier with the draft Certificate of Analysis confirms purity, germination, moisture, pathogen and aflatoxin where applicable.
Gate 2
3. Pruebas laboratorio acreditado ISTA
Seed lots run ISTA tests for purity, germination and dodder. Spices run aflatoxin (EU 2023/915), SHU and ASTA. Oilseeds run Sortex grade, FFA, moisture and admixture.
Gate 3
4. Fito + COO + fumigación en puerto
At Jebel Ali, the lot clears the UAE phytosanitary inspection, receives the Certificate of Origin from the Dubai Chamber, and undergoes fumigation where required.
Gate 4
5. Sign-off del comprador antes de liberar L/C
The full export pack — BL, commercial invoice, packing list, COA, phyto, COO, fumigation certificate — issues to the buyer for sign-off.
