AAA IQF Indian Mackerel

A: Absolutely. You can mix various sizes of the same product, and you can also blend different product types together. This flexibility is particularly useful for buyers who want to test multiple items or serve diverse market segments without committing to separate full containers. For example, you could load Pacific mackerel, round scad, and Spanish mackerel in one 40-foot container, with each species occupying a portion of the total space. Similarly, you could combine different pack sizes or product forms such as whole round and gutted fish within the same shipment. We will work with you to plan the loading arrangement carefully, ensuring proper separation, labeling, and weight distribution. Each pallet is clearly marked with product details so your team can easily identify and sort the goods upon arrival. The only requirement is that all products share the same temperature storage conditions, which they do. We are happy to advise on the most efficient mixing combinations based on your order quantities and destination market.

A: Certain items can be tailored to your specifications, while standard products may not be eligible for customization. For example, we can adjust portion sizes, such as cutting fish into specific weight ranges, or modify packaging specifications including carton dimensions, bag weights, and inner liner materials. We can also print your company logo, barcode, and multilingual product information on the outer cartons upon request. However, for some of our standard high-volume product lines, we maintain fixed specifications to ensure production efficiency and consistent availability, so customization options may be limited. We recommend discussing your specific needs with us at the time of inquiry, so we can confirm feasibility and provide a clear cost estimate. Any custom work may require additional lead time and setup costs, which we will clearly communicate upfront. We always send a digital proof for your approval before production starts.

A: We typically opt for ocean freight, as it's both more convenient and more cost-effective for large-volume frozen seafood shipments. We use refrigerated containers that maintain a stable temperature of minus 18 degrees Celsius or lower throughout the entire voyage. Our logistics partners book vessel space with major shipping lines, handle trucking to the port, and manage all export customs clearance procedures. We also prepare all necessary shipping documents, including the bill of lading, commercial invoice, packing list, and certificates of origin or health. Transit times vary by destination, generally ranging from one to six weeks. We provide you with the estimated time of departure and arrival once the vessel sails. For urgent or small-quantity orders, we can explore air freight options, but we always advise that this is significantly more expensive. Whichever method we use, we ensure the cold chain is never broken.

A: In most cases, we have ready stock on hand. If production lead time is needed, we'll notify you ahead of time. Because we process and package our products immediately after freezing and store them in our cold storage facility, we can often ship standard orders within a few days of confirmation. This means you do not have to wait for production to begin after placing an order. However, if you require custom specifications such as special sizing, unique packaging, or logo printing, we may need additional time to set up and complete the run. In such cases, we will give you a clear production schedule and keep you updated on progress. Typically, customized orders require about one to two weeks of lead time, depending on complexity and current workload. We always communicate timelines clearly so you can plan your shipments accordingly.
