Initial documentation gap — resolved satisfactorily before customs clearance
Our 150 kg dried mealworm trial order was held at Dubai customs because the phytosanitary certificate initially listed an incorrect HS code. This caused a 3-day delay. However, the supplier's export team acted quickly — a corrected certificate was issued and transmitted to our broker within 6 hours of being notified. Product quality itself was fine: protein at 48.6%, larvae size uniform at 26–29 mm. The issue has since been corrected in their standard documentation template. We've placed a follow-up 300 kg order with the updated paperwork confirmed upfront.
