THE GREEN BEAN BUYING GUIDE
Origin SearchThe buyer searches for coffee beans in origin market and identifies the grower or mill. NegotiationThe buyer negotiates with exporters looking for Coffee type, Quality, Quantity, Shipment and Timing Price negotiation process begins! Offer QuoteThe exporter attempts to secure a requested sale order with their stock or with beans from other mills. When they have arranged the stock for an export order they will prepare an offer quote. The quote specifies nearly all of the details of the transaction but final details will appear on a sale contract when the offer is accepted. ContractIf the quote is accepted, the buyer and seller sign a contract to formalise the purchase. The contract should contain the terms "Replace" and "No Approval, No Sale" (NANS). Once the contract is signed, the buyer arranges shipping from port. SampleBuyers insist on a pre-shipment sample (PSS) to ensure they are getting what they are paying for. PSS should be available immediately. The seller prepares the sample and forwards it to the buyer, but it may take weeks before the contract coffee becomes available. Sample ApprovedBuyer approves sample. If the sample does not live up to the expectations set out in the contract, the buyer should reject the sample and request an alternative sample of different stock. Arrange OrderThe seller prepares the coffee for export, taking it out of storage and ensuring it is hulled and graded before it is ready for export. At the same time, the buyer needs to have secured shipping so that their order can be packed and loaded for transport seamlessly. ShippingShipment to Australia can take anywhere from two weeks to eight weeks depending on the country of origin. Once the beans arrive at an Australian port, it takes around a week to clear customs. Sample on ArrivalThe buyer should sample the coffee again to ensure there are no differences between the PSS and the product landed in Australia. Once this sample is approved the buyer can complete the transaction. DeliveryThe importer takes ownership of the shipped product. Transaction is complete and the the coffee can be delivered to the importers warehouse or the clients roasting facility. |
