Free Samples

Free Samples,
Courier Paid by You.

Samples are free for buyers who mean business. Send us your company name, port and volume, and ask for up to 3 products to compare.

Each sample is a small pack of our standard grade, so you can see the size, the colour and the cleaning for yourself before you order.

Antaara’s Position

We send samples in 5 to 7 working days, once you pay the courier, and that cost is adjusted against your first order of at least one 20ft container. Once you approve a sample, we send you the proforma invoice for your order.

50% + 50% · 60% + 40%

Two-Stage Payment
for Standard Orders.

With standard packing, you pay 50% once your order is binding and the other 50% before shipment. We use the advance to source your goods.

Your goods leave the packing warehouse only after your balance reaches us or your L/C is in place. The Bill of Lading is issued once they are loaded on the ship, which keeps the money and the goods safe for both of us.

Antaara’s Position

When you choose custom packing or your own label, the terms are 60% in advance and 40% before shipment. That packing is made only for your order, so it cannot be sold to anyone else if your plans change later.

L/C · Letter of Credit

Payment Secured

by a Letter of Credit.

A Letter of Credit is a written promise from your own bank to pay us once we present documents that match the credit, under one clear set of rules.

On request, Antaara accepts an irrevocable letter of credit at sight for the balance. All L/C charges, including confirmation, are paid by you.

Antaara’s Position

The advance always comes first by bank transfer, and the L/C covers only the balance. It must be confirmed by a bank we nominate or by a bank in India we accept, so please send us the draft before your bank opens it.
