- UK food labelling. Retail packs are labelled to the Food Information Regulations 2014 — English, allergens emphasised, net quantity, origin and a UK importer address — printed before dispatch.
- Export documentation. Commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin, bill of lading or air waybill, and a phytosanitary certificate where the product needs one.
- Fumigation certificate. Containers are fumigated with phosphine before sealing and certified, so stored-grain insects do not travel with the cargo.
