Buyer questions
Which frozen chicken and poultry parts sell best in Liberia?
Market demand in Liberia commonly includes Chicken Leg Quarters, Whole Chicken and Chicken Wings; the exact mix is agreed with each buyer.
Do you sell less than a full container?
No. This corridor is quoted in full container loads (FCL) of about 26 t net (25–27.5 t depending on product and packing), which keeps the landed cost per kilo competitive. Mixed loads combining several items in one container are possible.
Which Incoterm applies?
Quotes default to CIF Monrovia: the seller pays freight and insurance. Under CFR, the seller pays freight and the buyer insures the goods. Under FOB, the buyer books and pays the freight. CPT is also available on request.
Which authority handles frozen fish permits in Liberia?
The Bureau of National Fisheries handles fish import permits and arrival inspection, while other frozen foods follow the current Ministry of Commerce procedures.
Are Liberia's frozen-food procedures subject to change?
Yes. Administrative rules have changed recently, so the importer should confirm the current permit and inspection file before shipment to Monrovia.
