Specification Control
The final specification is determined by the contract or purchase order. Where a sample is agreed, the approved sample is the reference against which the consignment is checked. Inspection scope, the appointed surveyor and the documents required at load port are agreed in writing before the order is confirmed.

Confirmed per order
Nine points are settled before an order is confirmed: grain length, moisture, broken percentage, purity, foreign matter, milling and polishing, Sortex requirement, crop, and packaging.
The percentages on this page are indicative. They do not form a guarantee applying to every shipment, and they do not replace the contract specification.
Where a certification applies to a producer or supplier, it is held by that party and is attributed to it accordingly.
A specification that cannot be measured at load port is not a specification — it is an expectation.
