Sea Frozen IQF Indian Mackerel

A: Typically, after you've chosen a sailing schedule, the container will be loaded two days prior to the vessel's departure. We deliberately build in this 48-hour window to ensure a smooth, well-organized loading process. During these two days, our team completes several important tasks: a final quality inspection of the finished goods, a thorough check of packaging integrity, pre-cooling of the refrigerated container to your specified temperature, and careful stacking of cartons to maximize space while maintaining proper cold air circulation. Once loading is complete, we seal the container with a high-security bolt seal and forward all shipping documents to our freight forwarder, allowing ample time for trucking to the port and customs clearance before the vessel's cut-off time. This buffer also gives us room to address any unexpected issues without missing the sailing date. We keep you informed at every stage, so you always know the status of your shipment. If you confirm your schedule at least one week in advance, we guarantee that your order will be loaded and sealed within that two-day window.

A: Our seafood is graded according to your intended use and specific requirements. We'll match you with the quality tier best suited to that product. We understand that different applications demand different standards. For example, if you are using our fish for canning or further processing, we can recommend a grade that offers good value without the premium features needed for retail display. If you are selling whole fish directly to supermarkets, we will select premium-grade products with uniform size, bright appearance, intact skin, and firm texture. Our grading system considers multiple factors, including size range, fat content, external appearance, and overall condition. Before production, we discuss your specific needs in detail and provide sample photos and clear specifications for your reference. During processing, our QC team monitors the grading continuously to ensure consistency. Before shipping, we open random cartons and share photos for your final confirmation. Our philosophy is simple: quality means giving you exactly what your market requires, no more and no less.

A: We can provide an Oil and Fat Report, a Weight Report, and a Quantity Report. The Oil and Fat Report measures the fat content of the fish, which is an important quality indicator affecting flavor, texture, and processing yield, particularly for canning and smoking applications. The Weight Report certifies the net weight of each carton and the total shipment weight, ensuring accuracy for inventory management and customs clearance. The Quantity Report confirms the exact number of cartons, pieces, or portions loaded into the container. Beyond these three standard documents, we can also supply additional test results upon request, such as histamine levels, moisture content, and microbiological analysis. All reports are generated by our in-house QC laboratory and bear our official stamp. If you require independent verification, we can arrange third-party inspections through accredited agencies like SGS or Bureau Veritas at your cost. We prepare all documentation in English and ensure proper formatting for your destination country's customs requirements.

A: During the high fishing season, we usually have inventory on hand. However, in the months when fishing is banned, supply becomes very tight. Our fishing season runs for a limited window each year when weather and sea conditions are optimal. During this period, we operate at full capacity, building up substantial frozen reserves in our cold storage to carry us through the rest of the year. Government-imposed fishing moratoriums, which typically last several months annually to protect spawning grounds and allow fish populations to recover, are a responsible practice we fully support. However, they do mean that we rely entirely on stored inventory during the ban period, so certain species or sizes may become limited or even run out. This is why we always encourage our regular buyers to plan their orders well in advance, especially for large quantities or popular items. We keep our clients informed about current stock levels and forecasted availability, so you can schedule your purchases strategically and avoid any supply disruptions.
