How to Choose a Palm Leaf Plate Manufacturer for Australia
- Australian biosecurity, done in full. AFAS-accredited methyl bromide fumigation, three fumigation certificates, a Government of India phytosanitary certificate with the Trogoderma declaration, and packing, process and storage declarations. A gap in any of these can hold the container at the border.
- Container scale and loading time. How many pieces fit a container (300,000–350,000 in a 40ft high-cube for a normal mix) and how quickly the factory loads it after the order is confirmed.
- Certified quality systems. Ask for ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certificates and who issued them, plus food-contact test reports.
- Clear export terms. The Incoterm (for example FOB), the port of loading, payment terms and transit time to your discharge port.
- Private label and samples. Whether your own branding is available, at what minimum, and whether samples are free.
