Services ยท Quality & Compliance

Tested before
it travels.

Quality is a system, not a sample. We check every lot against your spec and your market rules.

Quick answer

Aromik tests every lot before export: moisture, pesticide residue, microbial and sensory checks against your approved sample and destination market rules, with certificates and results attached to the Lot Passport.

Our approach

Catch it in Colombo, not at your port.

A rejected container costs far more than a test. We test every lot at partner facilities and accredited labs, and we do not load anything that fails your standard.

  • Testing against your approved reference sample
  • Residue screening against EU, UK, US or GCC limits
  • Retained samples kept for every shipped lot
  • Results and certificates shared before loading

FAQ

Quality & Compliance questions.

The questions we hear most from importers and brand owners.

Which labs do you use?

We use partner factory labs for routine checks and accredited independent laboratories for residue and microbial testing. Third-party inspection such as SGS can be arranged on request.

What happens if a lot fails?

It is not shipped. We replace it with a lot that passes and tell you about any effect on timing.

Can I inspect before shipment?

Yes. You or your appointed inspector are welcome to inspect before loading.
