Does the size grade count per kilogram change the net weight I receive?

The size grade defines the number of crabs in one kilogram. A lower count per kilogram means larger individual crabs, which affects how many units you get for the same weight. The glaze percentage is added on top of the net weight. You pay for the total weight including ice, but only the net weight counts as product. Always check both the size grade and the glaze percentage to calculate the true yield.

How does the competent-authority establishment number affect clearance?

The competent-authority establishment number links the specific processing facility to the health certificate. Customs officials check this number against the destination country's approved list. If the number on the certificate does not match the facility that processed the Fresh Crabs, the shipment will be rejected. Buyers must confirm this number appears on the seller's documentation before payment.

Why does the catch date matter for Fresh Crabs?

The catch date indicates the age of the product. Fresh Crabs degrade quickly, so the catch date determines the remaining shelf life. A later catch date means fresher product and a longer window for distribution. Buyers should request the catch date on the listing to ensure the product meets their storage capabilities.

What happens if the glaze percentage is higher than stated?

A higher glaze percentage increases the total shipment weight without adding product. The buyer pays for ice that melts and becomes waste. This raises the effective price per kilogram of edible crab meat. Sellers may quote a low price with high glaze to appear competitive. Always verify the glaze percentage to understand the true cost.

How does reefer plug availability impact the landed cost?

Reefer plug availability determines whether the container can be plugged in at the destination port. If plugs are scarce, the buyer may face demurrage charges while waiting for power. This adds unexpected costs to the landed price. Buyers should confirm plug availability at the destination port before finalizing the order.

Does the species of Fresh Crabs affect the health certificate?

Yes, the species determines the specific health requirements. Different species may have different disease risks or regulatory classifications. The health certificate must accurately list the species to match the catch documentation. A mismatch between the species on the certificate and the actual shipment will cause clearance delays.

What is the risk of using an old quota opening date?

Quota openings set the legal limit for export. An old quota date may no longer be valid, meaning the seller cannot legally export under that quota. Buyers risk paying for a product that cannot be shipped. Always verify the current quota status and opening dates in South Africa before placing an order.
