Frequently Asked Questions on Quality & Phytosanitary Clearance

Clear answers on laboratory standards, maximum residue limits (MRLs), and lot traceability.

How does Agro Metal verify aflatoxin and mycotoxin safety levels?

We utilize HPLC (High-Performance Liquid Chromatography) testing on all peanut, maize, and pulse lots. All export batches conform strictly to European Commission thresholds (Total Aflatoxin < 4 ppb / Aflatoxin B1 < 2 ppb) and FDA standards.

How are containers sealed and verified prior to bill of lading issuance?

Containers are sealed with ISO/PAS 17712 High-Security Bolt Seals in the presence of customs officers and independent marine surveyors. Exact seal serial numbers are recorded directly on the Bill of Lading and Certificate of Origin.

Can Agro Metal furnish Organic and Fair Trade documentation?

Yes. Sourced lots from certified cooperative smallholders can be supplied with USDA Organic, EU Organic equivalent, and Fair Trade transaction certificates upon request.

What microbiological, heavy metal, and pesticide residue testing protocols are performed prior to export?

Every export lot is tested for pesticide Multi-Residue Limits (MRLs covering over 500 compounds), heavy metals (Lead, Cadmium, Arsenic, Mercury), and microbiological counts (Salmonella, E. coli, Total Plate Count, Yeast & Mold) in ISO 17025-accredited analytical laboratories to ensure compliance with destination market standards including EU, US FDA, Japanese MHLW, and GCC GSO.

How are moisture levels controlled to prevent mold growth and maintain shelf stability during transit?

We enforce strict commodity-specific moisture ceilings (e.g., maximum 12% for green coffee, 12% for sesame seeds, 10% for cloves, 14% for pulses, and 28-33% for vacuum-packed Bourbon vanilla). Real-time digital capacitance moisture analyzers calibrate moisture content during intake, post-Sortex drying, and prior to final container stuffing.
