Roque Valente terms and conditions

· Moisture content; the more humid the heavier. When dried, a larger quantity can be shipped, however, what will be gained on the shipping costs, is lost on lead time and drying costs (± 50,00/ m³).

· Before shipping, Roque Valente sends the goods by truck to the port. The truck is a flat fee service and size wise it is 260 wide x 1200 cm long with a maximum of 260cm loading height.

Breakbulk

From our experience, clients prefer breakbulk shipment due to handling. When packs arrive they are easily loaded on your truck for its final destination. Unloading containers with heavy packs (up to 5000KG) has always been more problematic. From our experience, damaging is furthermore less likely when shipping breakbulk compared to containerized shipments. Therefore, wherever available, we recommend breakbulk shipment. The following destinations offer breakbulk shipment:

· Offered by seaboardmarine; the Mexican Gulf region, including Caribbean, Houston and Florida

· Offered by grimaldi; Western Europe, including Emden, Hamburg, Tilbury, Antwerp, Le Havre, Bilbao, Lisbon, Casablanca

Small order quantities

Small orders are possible provided that the destination is one of the aforementioned serviced by breakbulk delivery. Amounts may vary starting from 5m³. Mixed species/ products orders available. For more incentives please check our retail site.
