Load container and transport to port (airport) of departure

Activities and Associated Documentary Requirements: 1. The shipment of cashew under this BPA is referring to the use of Sihanoukville Port although the majority of cashew exports are done by truck loading containers cross border to Vietnam. It should be noted that the documents required for products to be exported or transited to Vietnam are bill of products, packaging invoices, Certificate of Rules of Origin (in some cases), and Phytosanitary documents if necessary 2. Standardized packaging, quality assurance, pre-shipment inspection and traceability are important issues for exporters of cashew kernels. Food safety issues and buyers’ compliance with their own HACCP, ISO or BRC control systems mean they are compelled to ask suppliers for compliance in these areas. Over the past ten years, the packaging of bulk cashew nut kernels has not changed since the phasing out of tin packing and the introduction of vita, flexi, or corvac packs. (See Annex 2.5: Packing list). 3. Cashew bulk packing standardized within international specifications well known to the trade are as follow:(a) 50 lb/22.68 kg net weight cartons; (b) Containing either 2x25 lb or 1x50 lb vacuum or gas back flushed flexi packs; (c) Shipped in sealed 20ft dry van containers, each containing 700 cartons (net weight 15.76 mt); (d) Each carton to bear the product name, grade, weight and the name and address of the factory that processed the cashews. 4.Cargo Insurance.
