Versa Logistics — freight & transportation

What does Versa Logistics do?

Versa Logistics is a Kochi-based freight and transportation company. We arrange FCL and LCL sea freight, freight forwarding, export documentation support and road transportation, with regular container shipments from India to Jebel Ali and Khorfakkan in the UAE and onward to other markets.

Do you ship 40ft containers from India to the UAE?

Yes. Shipping 40ft containers to the UAE is our core lane. We have moved 15 × 40ft containers of coffee beans to Jebel Ali Port in Dubai and 2 × 40ft containers of coffee beans to Khorfakkan Port in Sharjah, and we offer a regular service on this route.

Which Indian ports do you ship from?

Our home gateway is Kochi (ICTT Vallarpadam). Depending on your cargo location, carrier schedules and freight rates we also book from other west-coast ports such as Tuticorin, Mangalore, Nhava Sheva and Mundra.

How long does sea freight from Kochi to Jebel Ali take?

Transit on a direct sailing from Kochi to Jebel Ali is typically around a week. Services with transhipment take longer. Allow additional time for booking, stuffing, customs and port handling at both ends — we give a realistic door-to-door timeline with every quote.

Can you transport cargo from my farm or warehouse to the port?

Yes. We arrange container trucking and cargo haulage from farms, curing works, warehouses and factories across Kerala and South India to the port, timed to the vessel cut-off.

Do you handle export documentation?

We prepare and coordinate the shipping documents — commercial invoice and packing list alignment, bill of lading instructions, certificate of origin and phytosanitary certificate applications where required — and work with licensed customs brokers for customs filing.

Do you only ship coffee and spices?

No. Agricultural commodities are a specialty, but Versa Logistics carries general cargo for any shipper — food products, building materials, machinery, packaged goods and more.

How do I get a freight quote?

Call +91 97464 33133, +91 97467 33133 or +91 79072 15816, message us on WhatsApp, or use the contact form. Tell us the commodity, weight or volume, container type, origin, destination port and ready date.

Versa Traders — coffee & spices

What products does Versa Traders export?

Versa Traders exports three core commodities: unroasted green coffee beans (Arabica and Robusta), green cardamom (small cardamom) and black pepper. All are export quality and available in bulk quantities.

Do you provide samples before a bulk order?

Yes. Samples are provided to buyers before they commit to an order, drawn from the lot being offered so what you test is what you receive. Share your address and required grade, and we will arrange dispatch.

What quality documents come with your coffee and spices?

Each order is supported by a quality analysis report covering the agreed parameters, plus export documents including a phytosanitary certificate, certificate of origin, commercial invoice, packing list and bill of lading. Fumigation certificates, independent laboratory reports and third-party inspection can be arranged on request.

Is Versa Traders a certified exporter?

Yes. Versa Traders holds the registrations and certification required to export coffee and spices from India, and each shipment carries the certificates the destination market requires.

What quantities can I order?

Bulk quantity is available. Most buyers order in full container loads — 20ft or 40ft — and we also supply smaller trial lots for new buyers. Scheduled monthly or quarterly shipments can be arranged for regular buyers.

Which countries do you export to?

Versa Traders sells globally. The UAE is a key market — our group has shipped 17 × 40ft containers of coffee beans to Jebel Ali and Khorfakkan — and we supply buyers across the Middle East and other regions.

What Incoterms do you offer?

We quote FOB Indian port as standard, and CFR or CIF to your destination port when you would like Versa Logistics to arrange the freight.

How do I request a price?

Tell us the product, grade, quantity, packing, destination port and preferred Incoterm by phone (+91 97464 33133, +91 97467 33133, +91 79072 15816), WhatsApp or the contact form. Prices follow the market, so quotes are valid for a short, stated period.

Documents, payments & trade terms

What is the difference between FOB, CFR and CIF?

Under FOB the seller loads the goods on the vessel and the buyer pays freight and insurance. Under CFR the seller also pays freight to the destination port; under CIF the seller pays freight and insurance. In all three, risk passes to the buyer once goods are loaded at origin.

What documents are needed to export coffee or spices from India?

Typically a commercial invoice, packing list, shipping bill, bill of lading, certificate of origin and phytosanitary certificate, plus a quality report and any fumigation or product certificates the buyer requires.

What is a preferential certificate of origin under India–UAE CEPA?

It is a certificate that lets eligible Indian-origin goods enter the UAE at reduced or zero duty under the India–UAE Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement. It must be issued for the specific consignment.

Which payment terms are common for bulk coffee and spice orders?

A partial advance with the balance against shipping documents, cash against documents through banks, or a letter of credit for larger orders.

What is a telex release?

A telex release lets the consignee collect cargo at the destination without surrendering paper original bills of lading, once the shipper authorises release — usually after payment.

What is VGM?

VGM (verified gross mass) is the declared weight of a packed container, which must be submitted to the carrier before the container can be loaded on a vessel.

Where can I find definitions of shipping and spice trade terms?

Our glossary explains terms such as FCL, LCL, bill of lading, CEPA, AGEB, MG1, TGEB and Robusta Parchment in plain English.
