Classification
Drumstick is harvested tender, before the seed hardens, and moves mostly by air so that it arrives as it left the packhouse. Where a sea route is short enough for the product we quote it; otherwise we quote air and say why.
The values above are the parameters we quote against and have verified at the load port. Where your own requirement is tighter, yours governs and we quote to it.
