How does Nigerian shea butter physically reach Vancouver?

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

Who in Vancouver typically buys bulk shea butter?

Pacific gateway. The country supplier page holds pack and documentation questions; this page is the Vancouver delivery picture.

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

Sample size and the route into Vancouver are confirmed on the quote. A sample does not replace the Health Canada filings the Canada importer still makes on a commercial shipment.

Nigerian shea butter for Canada

Shea is not grown in Canada. A formulator in Canada who wants bulk shea butter is buying a Nigerian or West African fat, not a domestic oilseed. Health Canada notification is bilingual; Montreal, Halifax and Vancouver split the coasts. EMI Agro works with 5,000+ women collectors in Kwara, Niger, Kaduna, Kogi. Toronto buyers usually take the inland haul from Montreal.

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. Health Canada filings sit with the Canada 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 Canada 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 Montreal. Quotes are EXW, FOB or CIF; each term prices different services beyond the butter.
