Is Shanghai the ocean discharge even when the inland warehouse is in East China?

Shanghai is the principal mainland container and trading gateway named on the China country row. Inland haulage from the Shanghai terminals is the importer's arrangement unless the quote names a delivered term.

Why is there no published Apapa-to-Shanghai transit on the China row?

No official carrier table with Lagos-to-Shanghai days was recorded on the research date. The field stays empty rather than inventing a range.

Who in Shanghai typically contracts Nigerian shea butter?

East China trading houses and bonded logistics parks that concentrate vegetable-fat imports. Commercial packs sit on the China supplier page once it is published.

Nigerian shea butter for China

China is a destination market, not a shea-growing region. Drums arriving at Shanghai are West African origin. NMPA filing is for finished cosmetics; food-use drums need a CIFER-registered overseas plant. EMI Agro works with 5,000+ women collectors in Kwara, Niger, Kaduna, Kogi. Shanghai 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. NMPA filings sit with the China 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 China 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 Shanghai. Quotes are EXW, FOB or CIF; each term prices different services beyond the butter.
