Factors that influence final pricing
- Container size and complexity. A standard 20ft container with single-product cargo costs less than a mixed-load 40ft container.
- Travel time to packhouse. Inspections in Sheikh Zayed/Giza are at base price; remote regions (Upper Egypt, Aswan) include travel uplift.
- Sampling and lab analysis. Optional pesticide MRL testing, microbiology, or heavy metals add laboratory fees.
- Standards required. Multi-standard verification (BRC + IFS + GlobalGAP + buyer-specific) adds checklist complexity.
- Urgency. Same-day or next-day inspections include rush surcharge.
