IMPORTANT
INFORMATION. PRICING The prices quoted in our export price list are Free On Board (FOB) Nairobi. Please note that these are wholesale prices and will only apply to quantities of more than 12 items per order. PACKING AND FORWARDING ON CHARGES
COLLECT Freight, Forwarding and handling charges are
determined and affected on the basis of the product fragility, weight and
volume. This means packaging and
forwarding charges can never be charged on a uniform basis.
The reason being that packing differs from one kind of product to the
other, or the size of the whole consignment.
However, prior to the shipment of the goods we do
advise the freighting company to inform our customer in advance with respect to
the good charges collect fee payable to the forwarding freighters.
It is also important to note that conventionally and particularly when it
comes to air freighting the freight companies will always charge according to
the weight or the volume thus whatever is greater between weight and the volume
is what will determine the airfreight charges.
In addition to that, it is worth noting that when the weight goes beyond
100kg, the freight charges come more cost effective on part of the importing
body/ organization. The method of freight entirely depends on the
consignees' request. We organize
for airfreight, sea freight and parcel post.
The costs obviously depend on the weight/volume of the products ordered
the mode of transport and port of destination.
Special airfreight rates are offered to consignments weighing more than
100kgs. In case of sea freight, it
is quicker to book a space in a liner if goods can fill-up a full container load
of either 20ft or 40ft. The
dispatch of loose cargo cannot be guaranteed as such goods are subject to delay
at the port of loading for undetermined periods, until they have been
consolidated into a container load for delivery to one port of destination.
Maximum post package is 10kgs and or 20kgs for some countries per box and
overall measurement of 105 inches within an allowance of 36 inches.
Shipping rates are provided on request.
Rates may change without notice. DOCUMENTATION Export documentation is fully processed at this end
to include necessary certificates of exemption of duty where they are obtainable
such as EUR 1 for EEC and GSP certificate of origin for other states.
Incase your country's customs requires a particular kind of special
certificate please let us know when ordering to make arrangements for such. TERMS OF
TRANSACTION Our terms will remain strictly (F.O.B.) Free on Board
unless prior arrangements have been made between the consignee and our selves.
Buyers will be expected to meet all the freight charges on their end.
Also it may be necessary to make insurance arrangements.
Since the organization will not be responsible for any damage or loss of
goods while on transit. Delivery
time is usually less than 10 weeks after receipt or our order confirmation
together with the pro-forma invoice. The
time is exclusive of the transshipment period.
Our delivery time takes in consideration that all the products are solely
handmade with minimum production capacity level.
Otherwise we always stimulate our producers to honor the agreed upon
delivery time and at times make deliveries in as short as 4 weeks time. PHOTOS Please
note that goods are handmade. We
therefore cannot guarantee those delivered will be exactly identical to the
pictures in the photos. A slight
variance in the sizes of items of the same price should be expected, though we
guarantee the BEST quality and making as close as possible to the product
specification. PREFERRED
METHOD OF PAYMENT Owing to the limited amount of capital at our
disposal, and the ability to advance material cost payment to our producers, we
prefer to receive full payments of the orders amounting to US$3000 against our
pro-forma invoice and 70% advance deposit on orders of more than US$3000 and the
balance upon receipt of the final invoice together with the shipping documents.
The
most preferred and efficient payment method is through the Bank Swift system or
by a Telegraphic Transfer (T.T) Alternatively, a confirmed irrevocable letter of credit accepting the shipment may be opened with the Crafts of Africa Bankers. The truth is most of our artisans are a hand to mouth people. In this respect and in the interest of a good working relationship, and a healthy working capital, it is important that a prompt payment of the balance be made upon arrival of the goods at the port of destination with ‘sight’ letter of credit {(S)LC}.
