How it is used

Households and restaurants fry it until crispy, cook it in sambal and curries, or add it to rice porridge and vegetable dishes for a rich, savoury taste. Many buyers in Asia and Indonesian diaspora communities look for these traditional species, which are hard to find outside Borneo. Importers can choose retail packs for supermarkets and souvenir shops or bulk bags for wholesale and repacking.

Documents and quality control

For every export order, the team prepares the standard shipping documents such as the commercial invoice, packing list and bill of lading or air waybill. Additional documents, for example a certificate of origin, health or phytosanitary certificate, halal certificate or laboratory analysis, can be arranged when the destination country or the buyer requires them. Before loading, the team checks quantity, labels and packing against the agreed specification and can share photos or videos of the goods so the buyer knows exactly what is being shipped.
