Pan-India dispatch from Kochi
Domestic supply runs in bulk lots from Kochi to any state. Rates are ex-factory; GST and transport are itemised separately, so you can compare landed cost against a local supplier line by line. Most of our domestic volume goes to packing-case manufacturers, pallet makers and exporters who crate machinery for shipment. These are buyers who order by the truckload and reorder on a schedule, and the operation is set up for exactly that.
If you build packing cases, the thickness and grade logic is worked through in plywood for packing cases.
The export desk
Perumbavoor sits about 40 km from Cochin Port. Export is quoted in USD, FOB Cochin by default, to 28 countries across six continents; the three lanes below are the ones worked hardest. Start at the export hub for documentation and container-loading detail.
GCC. UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar, Kuwait and Bahrain take packing and shuttering grades for projects and re-export.
Sri Lanka. Kochi to Colombo is one of the shortest export lanes out of India; two to four days on the water is typical. Building-supply buyers get lane detail on exporting to Sri Lanka.
Israel. Okoume-faced panels into Ashdod and Haifa, quoted FOB. Terms are on exporting to Israel.
Payment on standard products is 50% advance with the balance before dispatch; custom production is 100% advance. Payment is by bank transfer (T/T).
How the quality holds
Grades are made to Indian Standards: IS 303 covers the MR and BWR packing and commercial grades, and IS 710 covers BWP marine plywood. Panels are measured before loading, thickness and dimensions checked against the order, and the goods conform to the grade and standard on your proforma invoice when risk passes.
One detail that saves exporters paperwork: plywood panels themselves are exempt from ISPM-15 treatment and marking, because plywood is processed wood. Where assembled boxes and crates need marking, their solid-wood members are treated and IPPC-marked by a DPPQS-registered treatment provider; the treatment method follows the destination's rules, and a treatment certificate is supplied where the quotation states it. The two treatment routes are compared in heat treatment vs methyl bromide.
