How does Nigerian shea butter physically reach Melbourne?

Containers are billed to Melbourne. Melbourne buyers arrange the inland haul from that terminal unless the quote names a delivered Incoterm. EMI Agro does not operate a warehouse in Melbourne.

Who in Melbourne typically buys bulk shea butter?

Southern manufacturing and distribution hub. The country supplier page holds pack and documentation questions; this page is the Melbourne delivery picture.

Can EMI Agro deliver a sample to Melbourne before a container?

Sample size and the route into Melbourne are confirmed on the quote. A sample does not replace the AICIS filings the Australia importer still makes on a commercial shipment.

Nigerian shea butter for Australia

Shea trees are not a commercial Australian crop. A formulator in Sydney or a filler in Melbourne is buying a Nigerian or West African fat landed at Sydney. AICIS treats cosmetic shea as an industrial-chemical introduction; Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane split the east-coast doors. EMI Agro works with 5,000+ women collectors in Kwara, Niger, Kaduna, Kogi. Sydney is the usual discharge.

Ask for a batch COA on a NIS 571:2013 basis: free fatty acid, peroxide value, moisture, colour and melting point. Reject lots that smell sharply rancid or pour like liquid oil at room temperature. AICIS filings sit with the Australia importer — they do not replace a COA.

Trial lots start at 5 tonnes; standard orders start at 20 tonnes. Send the request even if you need less — EMI Agro reviews every Australia enquiry against current production of 40 tonnes per week of finished shea butter and can schedule rolling shipments. Lead time is Ibadan production plus ocean time to Sydney. Quotes are EXW, FOB or CIF; each term prices different services beyond the butter.
