How Neway packs, loads and ships biomass fuel. This page covers packing formats, container loadings, dispatch ports, lead times, trade terms and the ordering process.
Packing formats
15 kg retail-grade bags
Multi-layer PE bags stacked six to eight high on wooden or PLP pallets, stretch-wrapped. Approximately 15–18 pallets per 20-ft container. Best for buyers who break down deliveries by bag at the plant gate, or where destination quarantine rules require heat-processed sealed packaging.
1,000 kg jumbo bags (FIBC)
Bulk FIBC jumbo bags, 25–28 per 20-ft container, layered with an air gap for ventilation. Best for buyers with bulk silo or hopper unloading and forklift handling.
Both formats run on the same line — you can mix them in the same container by arrangement.
Container loadings
| Container | 15 kg bags on pallets | 1,000 kg jumbo bags |
|---|---|---|
| 20-ft standard | approx. 22–24 t (about 1,500 bags) | approx. 25–28 t (25–28 units) |
| 40-ft standard | approx. 26–28 t (volumetric limit) | approx. 30–33 t (weight limit) |
Actual net weight is verified at the weighbridge before the container is sealed, and stated on the packing list and Bill of Lading. Variation of ±2% is normal industry practice for packed biomass cargo.
Dispatch ports
- Kandla — closest major port to Bhiwani; shortest inland haulage
- Mundra — similar haulage distance, good liner connectivity
- Nhava Sheva (JNPT) — available on buyer preference
Transit to Busan is approximately 16–17 days by sea.
Lead times
| Scenario | Lead time |
|---|---|
| First shipment (new buyer) | 2–4 weeks from PO — production 1–2 days, lab COA 2–4 days, stuffing and clearance 5–7 days |
| Subsequent shipments | 7–10 days against running stock |
| Annual contract | Monthly rolling schedule, 15 days’ notice per container batch |
Trade terms
- FOB Kandla / Mundra — we deliver the container to the port and hand over the Bill of Lading. You arrange ocean freight and insurance from there.
- CIF — product, inland haulage, Indian export clearance, ocean freight and marine insurance all included. CIF keeps your landed cost stable and removes the vessel-booking work from you — we arrange the shipper side end to end.
- Letter of Credit — L/C at sight accepted, and recommended on your initial one or two containers while the trading relationship is being established.
Payment terms
- Standard: 30% TT advance against proforma invoice, 70% TT against copy of Bill of Lading.
- L/C at sight accepted for first orders.
- Trade finance — we can work with your bank’s L/C or our own bank.
Ordering process
- Enquiry / RFQ — you send quantity, destination port and packing preference.
- Proforma invoice — firm price with 7-day validity, specification on a COA basis.
- Advance and optional samples — 30% TT. We can courier a 2–3 kg sample in advance, courier cost shared.
- Production and COA — the line fills to order, the lab issues the COA, and a pre-shipment photo report is sent to you.
- Stuffing and clearance — container sealed and weighed, Bill of Lading issued, documents couriered or emailed.
- Balance payment — 70% TT against B/L copy, or L/C presentation.
Container preparation and labeling
- Clean, dry, leak-checked 20-ft and 40-ft containers before loading
- Wooden pallets IPPC-marked (heat-treated) per ISPM-15
- Bilingual label — English with Korean or Vietnamese as required: product name, net weight, lot number, calorific value, moisture, manufacturing date, exporter details and caution text
