What to Ask Your Supplier Before Importing Dates

For Business4 min readBy Tibra Foods

A practical checklist for importers, distributors and retailers sourcing Saudi dates.

Product and packaging

Confirm the variety, size and pack formats you need, such as retail packs or bulk cartons, and whether private label is possible. Ask for samples before placing a large order.

Quality and freshness

Ask how dates are selected, sorted and packed, and request information on packing dates and recommended storage so your stock reaches customers in good condition.

Shipping and documents

Agree the quantity, delivery destination and timelines up front, and ask which export documents the supplier prepares. Check the import rules, duties and permits in your own country early.
