International buyer guide - August 2026

Makhana importer checklist before you request a wholesale quote.

Use this checklist to turn a general product enquiry into a buyer-ready request for roasted makhana snack packs, bulk fox nuts, samples, gifting, or private-label discussions.

Final price, MOQ, availability, samples, documents, payment terms, freight, and production timing must always be confirmed in a written commercial response.

Before the first quote

Confirm the commercial basics first.

Destination

Provide country, delivery city or port, target launch date, and your preferred quote basis where applicable.

Buyer checklist

Six steps for a more useful export conversation.

These questions avoid generic pricing and help both buyer and supplier understand the true scope before any commitment.

1. Product and quality request

Describe the product you need: classic or flavoured roasted makhana, raw or bulk fox nuts, expected grade, flavour direction, and whether you need a sample before a commercial order.

2. Retail pack or bulk format

Confirm pouch size, carton count, bulk format, gifting format, barcode needs, and whether a BandEvi Gourmet label or private-label discussion is required.

3. Quantity and timeline

Give a realistic first-order estimate, repeat-buying plan, preferred launch date, and any deadline that may affect sample, label, or production planning.

4. Destination-market review

Confirm with your qualified local adviser or importer the requirements relevant to your destination, including product labels, ingredients, allergens, import process, and accepted documents.

5. Commercial and freight basis

Ask for a written product quote first, then discuss the appropriate commercial and freight basis only after pack, quantity, destination, and timeline are understood.

6. Written approval

Approve final product, label, price, payment terms, documents, lead time, and shipment terms in writing before production or payment.
