Comparing Indonesian Shallots with Thai Buyer Preferences

A larger bulb size is not automatically preferred by every buyer.

Product acceptance may depend on regional cooking preferences, retail expectations, and the characteristics of the intended customer segment.

Sample evaluation and clearly defined grading criteria are recommended.

Quality Inspection Before Export

An agreed inspection may assess:

Product origin.
Bulb size distribution.
Firmness.
Skin condition.
Sprouting.
Rot and decay.
Mechanical damage.
Cleaning and trimming.
Packaging condition.
Lot identification.

Buyers may also request appropriate pesticide residue or plant health documentation according to Thai import requirements.

Thailand Import Compliance

Fresh shallots are plant products and may be subject to Thai plant quarantine and customs requirements.

Before contracting, the Thai importer should verify current import eligibility, applicable permits, phytosanitary conditions, inspection procedures, and any other relevant restrictions.

Requirements should be confirmed with the responsible Thai authorities or a qualified customs and import adviser.

IEC does not guarantee that every proposed shallot shipment is eligible for import into Thailand.

Shipping from Indonesia to Thailand

International shipment planning should consider the Indonesian loading location, destination port, transit time, cargo ventilation, and destination clearance procedures.

Sea freight may be considered where commercially and technically suitable.

The buyer should also evaluate whether the planned route can preserve acceptable product quality through arrival.

Packing for Thai Wholesale Distribution

Potential packaging formats may include ventilated mesh bags or other approved commercial packing.

The importer should specify the net weight, handling requirements, lot markings, and any required labeling.

Packaging must be agreed with the supplier and checked against Thai import requirements.

Commercial Terms and Price Comparison

Thai buyers may request FOB, CFR, or CIF quotations.

A quotation should identify the named port, quantity, packing, shipment period, payment conditions, and included services.

Total landed cost should account for freight, insurance where applicable, customs charges, inspection, and inland distribution.
