Frequently Asked Commodity Inquiries
Common questions regarding specifications, ports, and international contract procedures.
What is the difference between ICUMSA 45 and other sugar grades?
ICUMSA (International Commission for Uniform Methods of Sugar Analysis) measures the color index of sugar. A lower number indicates higher refinement and fewer residual color impurities. ICUMSA 45 is the purest commercial white sugar available on the global market.
Can we request private-label bag printing for 50kg bags?
For long-term contracts and orders exceeding 5,000 MT, custom packaging markings and private labeling can be arranged subject to mill lead times and regulatory compliance.
What payment instruments are standard for sugar export?
Standard international trade transactions utilize an Irrevocable, Transferable or Non-Transferable Documentary Letter of Credit (DLC / SBLC) payable 100% at sight against presenting compliant shipping documents, or confirmed T/T deposits for containerized lots.
