What We Do

Seamless Logistics from
Farm Gate to Destination

Once your cocoa is graded and approved, our logistics team takes full ownership of the export process. We coordinate directly with freight forwarders, shipping lines, and Brazilian customs authorities to ensure every container departs on time and arrives in perfect condition.

Whether you need FOB Santos pricing or a fully managed CIF delivery to your destination port, ASG Commodities can structure the shipment to your exact commercial requirements — backed by complete documentation packages that satisfy EUDR, phytosanitary, and banking requirements.

The Process

How Your Shipment
Gets From Brazil to You

Our logistics process is built around transparency and predictability. From the moment you confirm your order, you'll have a dedicated shipping coordinator and real-time updates at every milestone.

01

Order Confirmation & Container Booking

Once your contract is signed, we book your container on the next available vessel from Santos. We work with major shipping lines including Maersk, MSC, and CMA CGM for weekly sailings.

02

Packaging, Stuffing & Sealing

Cocoa is packed in 60kg or 70kg food-grade bags, palletised to your specification, and container-stuffed under supervision. A full tally and packing list is generated at this stage.

03

Brazilian Customs Export Clearance

Our customs broker files all SISCOMEX declarations, phytosanitary inspections, and MAPA certificates. We manage the entire Brazilian export process with zero delays.

04

Ocean Freight & Live Tracking

Cargo departs Santos with a full set of originals: bill of lading, certificate of origin, packing list, commercial invoice, and insurance certificate. Live vessel tracking is shared with you.

05

Arrival, Clearance & Delivery

We issue arrival pre-alerts and coordinate with your import agent. For CIF/DAP/DDP shipments, we manage the full destination clearance and arrange inland delivery to your facility.
