Classification
Kabuli is contracted by count and desi by size, and both are cleaned, colour-sorted and checked for admixture on the sample drawn at stuffing, so the lot that loads is the grade you bought. Export terms on pulses are set by policy; we confirm the position for the specific pulse and month in writing with every quotation.
The values above are the parameters we quote against and have verified at the load port. Where your own requirement is tighter, yours governs and we quote to it.
