Thank you for link that you shared with us,

1. As I was gone through link of scheduled 20, were I subtracted & made our products MRL limits out
of it, but we found only 10 products MRL limits out of 22 products of ours, so we want to know
whatever MRL limits we found is that acceptable in Australia or is there anything more need to be
added ???

2. Regarding remaining 12 products which we didn't found any MRL limits on link what you sent, so
please suggest us how, and from where we can get accurate MRL limits acceptable in Australia.

3. UK, Europe has nominated some laboratories in India, and these lab's check consignments MRL
limits before shipments of this products to their respective country to avoid rejection after
shipment.

Does Australia have any such laboratory facility here in India??? just to avoid rejection
circumstances after reaching consignment there, which is what happen to our Shana products in our
last shipment
Looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Regards

, India, as we are very well know brand in Canada, UK, USA, now looking forward explore more
business opportunities here in India.

Conclud
Thanks for your mail. The product range is quite interesting and the brand is also well known in
some countries.
However, I find that the import duties are very high for juices and hence it is very difficult to sell the
juices at a competitive price in India.
There are many domestic brands and they always have offers in the supermarkets, so the price
difference is quite huge.
Besides, modern trade would require listing fees for the products and sampling / marketing
activities.
Hence, at this stage we are not too keen on undertaking import and distribution of juices.

Do let me know your thoughts.

Thank you very much for your mail, thank you for warm appreciation on our products

As your already importer of one foreign brand juice hence your much aware of import duty its
common for everyone.

Regarding modern trade listing fees and products sample for marketing activities, lets us have one
meeting at place to have comprehensive discussion for same.
