Where is Frigoru00edfico Sirsil SA located?+
We are located at Camino Coronel Raiz 2764, 12400 Montevideo, Uruguay, within the Montevideo metropolitan area. Our proximity to the Port of Montevideo facilitates efficient container export logistics.
Is Sirsil SA approved to export to the United States?+
Yes. The facility operates under USDA-FSIS requirements for Uruguayan beef exports to the United States. All US-bound shipments are accompanied by official export health certificates issued by INAC/MGAP and are subject to USDA-FSIS import reinspection upon arrival.
Do you supply Halal-certified beef?+
Yes. Sirsil SA produces Halal-certified beef under the supervision of a recognized Islamic halal certifying authority. Halal certificates accompany each eligible shipment. Please specify your Halal certification requirement and destination market when submitting your inquiry.
Do you supply Kosher-certified beef?+
Yes. Kosher beef is produced under rabbinical supervision and accompanied by Kashrut certificates. We have experience supplying the Israeli and Jewish diaspora markets with Kosher boneless beef in both chilled and frozen formats.
What is the minimum order quantity?+
Generally we work with buyers capable of committing to full container loads (FCL) per shipment — approximately 20–25 metric tons per 40ft reefer container. For first-time buyers establishing a commercial relationship, we can discuss smaller initial trial orders. Please contact our commercial team to discuss your specific needs.
What payment terms do you offer?+
Standard payment terms are Letter of Credit (LC at sight) for new buyers, or bank transfer (T/T) with a deposit and balance against documents for established accounts. Payment terms are discussed and agreed on a per-buyer basis.
What are your typical lead times?+
Typically buyers can expect 3–6 weeks from confirmed order to vessel loading. For ocean transit, allow 10–14 days to the US East Coast, 20–30 days to Europe, and 25–35 days to the Middle East.
What Incoterms do you sell under?+
We primarily sell under FOB Montevideo (Incoterms 2020), meaning we deliver the goods to the Port of Montevideo. We can also discuss CIF or CFR pricing for buyers who prefer a delivered price to their destination port.
Can we visit your facility for an audit?+
Yes. We welcome facility visits and audits from prospective buyers. Please contact us in advance to arrange a mutually convenient time. We are committed to transparency and have nothing to hide in our operations.
Is all your beef grass-fed?+
Yes. All cattle processed at Sirsil SA are sourced from Uruguay’s pasture-based livestock system. Uruguay’s beef industry is fundamentally a grass-fed system. Some animals may receive supplementary grain finishing in their final weeks, which is relevant for Hilton quota-eligible products.
How do you ensure product traceability?+
Uruguay’s mandatory SNIG system assigns unique electronic identification to every bovine from birth. This information is carried through slaughter and processing, allowing us to trace every lot of exported product back to the individual animal, farm of origin, and region of production. Full records are available for buyer or authority inspection upon request.
