Vietnam Cashew WW160–WW320 & A180 — CNF (CFR) to Aqaba, Jordan: Buyer’s Playbook
Importers serving Jordan’s retail and roasting channels need dependable supply, clear paperwork, and predictable logistics. Therefore, this CNF (CFR under Incoterms 2020) playbook outlines how we plan shipments to Aqaba—from grades and packaging to the document set, palletization, and cost items you handle at destination. Moreover, we clarify the CNF vs. CFR terminology so your team, broker, and insurer stay aligned.

Grades, Packaging & Palletization
Grades available: WW160, WW180, WW240, WW320; plus A180 (salt-roasted) for value-added programs. In addition, we support two proven packaging formats: vacuum PE (10 kg / 20 kg per bag, carton-packed with desiccant) and tins (11.34 kg / 22.68 kg per carton). Palletization is typically ≤ 1.8 m including pallet for safe handling; higher stacks can be arranged if your lane permits. Private label and bilingual side/end-panel labeling are available with supplied artwork (English/Arabic).
Quality Targets & Compliance
For WW grades we target Moisture < 4.9% and Broken < 7% as typical benchmarks, with tighter specs by request. For instance, A180 (salt-roasted) follows process controls with defined oil/salt ranges per spec sheet. We can align aflatoxin testing frequency and reporting to your buyer’s program and provide Non-GMO / Allergen statements when required. Our handling and language are Halal-ready; however, if you require formal Halal certification, please inform us so we can align audit scope and timing.

CNF vs. CFR — and What You Handle in Aqaba
Terminology: Many buyers still say “CNF”, while the official Incoterms 2020 term is CFR (Cost and Freight). Under CFR/CNF, the seller covers ocean freight to Aqaba; however, insurance is not included—buyers usually arrange cargo insurance (or request a switch to CIF). In Aqaba, you should plan for destination THC/port fees, D/O, customs/inspection, and any local lab tests requested by your broker or client.
Documents for Jordan (Aqaba)
A standard file for kernels includes: Commercial Invoice, Packing List, Bill of Lading, Certificate of Origin, Phytosanitary Certificate, Fumigation Certificate (if required by buyer/route), Aflatoxin Test Report (if required), and Non-GMO/Allergen statements (if required). However, your customs broker has the final say—share their checklist and we will mirror it in the draft set before shipment.
Lead Time, Booking & Manufacturing Footprint
Lead time depends on grade mix (WW160/WW180/WW240/WW320 and/or A180), chosen packaging, vessel space, and any pre-shipment reports. Moreover, we recommend locking plans in monthly or quarterly blocks to secure allocations during peak windows. Our manufacturing footprint—raw kernels at Thon 7, Long Ha Commune and white/roasted-salted at Thon Tan Luc, Phu Rieng Commune, Dong Nai Province (previously part of Binh Phuoc before July 1, 2025)—supports consistent output for Jordan and neighboring markets.
Next Steps
Share your preferred grades and monthly volume, packaging format, destination (Aqaba), and any document/labeling requirements. We will return a clean CFR (CNF) quotation, an indicative lead-time window, and draft documents for your broker’s review.
