What each table answers

The container loading table gives tonnes and bag counts for 21 seed types in a 20-ft and 40-ft high-cube, with the bulk density that explains why Rhodes grass loads at 10–12 MT and alfalfa at 18–20 MT, plus worked examples for mixed loads. The export calendar marks sowing, harvest, cleaning and shipping months in Pakistan for every crop and lines them up against the sowing windows of the northern and southern hemispheres, with an order-by month for each. The phytosanitary table lists the plant-health authority, the documents required at entry, the main ports and the transit time from Karachi for the 20 countries that take most Pakistani seed, followed by the additional declarations most often requested on the certificate. The HS code table gives every six-digit heading used for the product range with its heading text and the related codes for grain, gum and by-products. The conversion tables cover lb/acre and kg/ha, area units from the feddan to the mu, bushel test weights and the number of hectares a bag or a container will sow.

How the tables relate

Start with the calendar to see when a crop ships, size the order with the container table and the sowing rate tables, then check the phytosanitary table and HS codes for the paperwork. Agronomic figures behind the tables are in the variety profiles.
