Industrial & Other Categories
Materials, equipment, agri-industrial inputs and sourcing to specification.
In short
Beyond its core families, SELA INTERNATIONAL LTD handles construction materials, equipment and spare parts, agri-industrial inputs, and any product category requested against a specification. This last mode — mandated sourcing — is the core of the trading-house business: the buyer describes a need (technical specification, volume, target budget, destination market) and SELA identifies capable suppliers, negotiates, inspects and delivers. Off-catalogue enquiries are handled by the Port Louis team within 48 working hours.

Frequently asked questions about this family
Which products can SELA source?
SELA INTERNATIONAL LTD covers four families: food and beverage (cereals, oils, sugar, spices, seafood, canned goods, drinks), non-food consumer goods (hygiene, cleaning, packaging, home textiles, household equipment), furniture and interiors (indoor and outdoor furniture, bedding, lighting, project fit-out), and industrial and other categories (materials, equipment, agri-industrial inputs). Any off-catalogue request is handled as sourcing to specification.
What is the minimum order quantity?
Minimum quantities depend on the product and the origin factory. In practice, most operations start at one full 20-foot container per reference. For fit-out projects and multi-reference packages, consolidation makes it viable to work with smaller quantities per item. SELA INTERNATIONAL LTD states the applicable minimum in every quotation.
Which Incoterms does SELA trade on?
SELA INTERNATIONAL LTD contracts under the Incoterms® 2020 rules, mainly FCA, FOB, CFR, CIF, DAP and DPU. The choice depends on the corridor and on the buyer’s in-house logistics capability. Every offer states the rule, the named place and the edition, and is usually quoted on at least two bases so that landed costs can be compared.
How does SELA control quality before shipment?
At SELA INTERNATIONAL LTD, pre-shipment inspections are entrusted to independent third-party bodies and follow an AQL sampling plan compliant with ISO 2859-1, with thresholds fixed in the purchase contract. The full report is passed to the buyer, including where its findings are adverse, and, where the purchase contract so provides, gates release of the balance payment to the supplier.
