Do I need to have experience in international trade to work with you?

Not at all. Many of our clients are new to importing. We guide you through every step—from understanding Incoterms to navigating EAEU customs. If you know what product you want and who you want to sell to, we handle the rest.

What products do you source?

We specialize in agricultural commodities from 9 origin countries:
Coffee: Arabica & Robusta (washed, natural, honey process) from Ethiopia, India, Vietnam, Kenya, Burundi, Ivory coast,Honduras, Indonesia, UAE
Cocoa: From Vietnam, Ivory Coast, Indonesia
Nuts: Cashews from India, Vietnam, Ivory Coast, UAE
Spices: Black pepper, cardamom, turmeric, cinnamon and more from India, Vietnam, UAE
Tea: Orthodox and specialty teas from Kenya

Which countries do you deliver to?

Our primary markets are:

  • Armenia (our home base)
  • Russia
  • Georgia
  • Kazakhstan, Belarus, Kyrgyzstan
  • Other CIS countries upon request

How do you ensure product quality?

Quality is built in, not inspected in. Our process includes:

Pre-harvest checks: Field visits to verify crop health

Processing oversight: Monitoring drying, fermentation, and grading

Pre-shipment inspection: Final verification against your approved sample

Lab testing: Moisture content, defect analysis, contamination screening (when required)

Traceability: Every lot tracked to cooperative, washing station, or farm level

 

Can I get samples before placing a full order?

Absolutely. We encourage it. Once we identify suitable suppliers, we arrange pre-shipment samples (typically 300-500g for coffee, appropriate quantities for other products) sent via express courier to your location. You test, cup, or process the sample in your facility. We only proceed to contract once you approve. You only pay for the courier delivery.

Can you source custom specifications (grade, processing method, packaging)?

Yes. We tailor sourcing to your needs:

  • Grade: From commercial to specialty (e.g., coffee G1-G5, cashew W180-W320)
  • Processing: Washed, natural, honey, fermented—based on your flavor or functional requirements
  • Packaging: 60kg jute bags, grain-pro lined, vacuum-sealed, or private-label retail packaging
  • Blending: Multi-origin blends to achieve specific flavor profiles or price points

Just tell us your specs, and we'll find the right match.

✓ Manage the application process with relevant authorities

✓ Include timelines and costs in your proposal

Let us know your product category early, and we'll guide you through the process.

What shipping options do you offer?

Option Best For Typical Transit to Armenia
Sea Freight (FCL) Large volumes, cost efficiency 30-70 days (origin-dependent)
Sea Freight (LCL) Large volumes, cost efficiency 35-75 days (origin-dependent)
Air Freight Urgent orders, high-value products 3-10 days airport to airport
Multi-Modal Complex routes, landlocked destinations Customized timeline

Which Incoterms do you support?

We work with all major Incoterms to match your risk preference (origin-dependent):

 

  • FOB (Free on Board): We deliver to origin port; you manage freight and destination
  • CIF (Cost, Insurance, Freight): We arrange freight/insurance to destination port; you handle clearance
  • DAP (Delivered at Place): We deliver to your warehouse; you pay import duties/taxes
  • FCA (First Carrier): FCA (Free Carrier): We deliver goods, cleared for export, to a carrier or named place in the origin country (e.g., our warehouse, terminal, or your forwarder's facility). You assume responsibility for main freight, insurance, and import clearance.

Not sure which to choose? We'll advise based on your experience and goals.

What if my shipment is delayed?

While we optimize for reliability, delays can happen (weather, port congestion, etc.). If so:
✓ We notify you immediately with cause and revised timeline
✓ Explore alternatives (e.g., partial air freight for urgent needs)
✓ Adjust downstream logistics to minimize impact
✓ Document lessons to prevent recurrence
Our on-ground teams and partner network help us respond quickly to disruptions.
