Everything a serious importer needs to know — answered clearly. Can't find your answer? Contact our sales team directly.
What is your minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
Our standard MOQ is 1 × 20ft refrigerated container, which is approximately 20 tonnes of product. For new partners, we can discuss smaller trial shipments — contact our sales team to discuss your specific requirements and situation.
What certifications do your products carry?
All our products are covered by FSSC 22000 certification, ISO 45001 Food Safety Management, EU Export Approval, EUR.1 preferential origin certificates (enabling reduced import duties under the EU–Morocco Association Agreement), and ONSSA (Moroccan Food Safety Authority) approval. Full documentation is provided with every shipment.
What are your Incoterms and shipping options?
We work with FOB (Laayoune / Agadir), CIF, and CFR to any major port worldwide. Typical transit times: Europe 18–22 days, Middle East 10–14 days, Asia-Pacific 25–35 days, Americas 18–28 days. We partner with established freight forwarders and can coordinate full door-to-port logistics globally.
Can I request product samples before placing an order?
Yes. We offer product samples for qualified buyers. Sample costs (product + cold-chain courier) are typically borne by the buyer, but may be credited against the first container order depending on volume. Contact our sales team with your product specifications and we'll arrange a sampling shipment.
Do you offer private label packaging?
Yes. We provide full private label packaging services including custom carton printing, net weight specifications, multi-language labelling (EN, FR, ES, IT, AR), and traceability QR codes. Minimum quantities apply for private label. Please share your packaging brief when requesting a quote.
What fishing seasons should I know about?
Moroccan Atlantic fisheries follow regulated seasons. Octopus fishing typically peaks September–February. Squid is more year-round with best quality August–January. Cuttlefish availability is strongest April–October. However, our frozen inventory allows year-round supply — contact us for current stock availability.

Morocco's Atlantic Seafood Industry
Why Moroccan Frozen Seafood Leads the World
Morocco is consistently ranked among the world's top seafood exporters, producing over 1.4 million tonnes annually. The country's Atlantic coastline — stretching over 3,500km — provides unparalleled access to rich fishing grounds including the highly productive Mauritanian and Moroccan Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZ).
AF.OCEAN ATLANTIC operates from the strategic port of Laayoune in Southern Morocco, giving us direct, rapid access to the finest Atlantic catches. Our frozen octopus (Octopus vulgaris), squid (Loligo vulgaris), and cuttlefish (Sepia officinalis) are caught seasonally, processed within hours of landing, and IQF-frozen at −40°C to preserve the highest quality.
For international buyers, Morocco's EU–Morocco Association Agreement means preferential tariff rates and reduced customs duties when importing into the European Union — a significant cost advantage over suppliers from non-preferential countries.
