Planning Your Import Schedule

Lead Times

Typical order-to-shipment lead time is 2–4 weeks for standard products. Custom size grades or large volumes may require 4–6 weeks. Plan ahead during peak import seasons (Q4 for Japan/EU).

Aquaculture vs Wild-Caught

Vannamei and black tiger prawns from aquaculture are available year-round. Wild-caught species including tuna, squid, mackerel and crab follow seasonal fishing patterns influenced by monsoon and spawning cycles.

Pricing by Season

Peak season typically means higher availability and more competitive pricing. Off-season availability may be limited to frozen carry-over stock. Contact us for current pricing — we update rates monthly.
