Initial documentation gap — resolved promptly by the team
Our first shipment of 3,000 cans arrived without the AQIS-compliant import documentation we'd specified in our purchase order, which caused a brief customs hold in Sydney. It was frustrating given the timelines involved. However, the supplier's logistics team responded within hours, provided the correct phytosanitary and processing certificates electronically, and the shipment cleared within two days. Product quality was fine — protein content verified at 53% DM, well within spec. They've since updated their Australia-specific documentation checklist. Second order processed without any issues.
