How does Nigerian shea butter physically reach Paris?

Île-de-France importers take delivery from Le Havre. Inland haulage from the HAROPA terminal reaches Paris warehouses by rail and road. The ocean bill names Le Havre, not Paris.

Why do Paris formulation labs specify beurre de karité on the purchase order?

Beurre de karité is the French trade name. Paris and Île-de-France concentrate cosmetics buying offices and laboratories. Grade and INCI still follow the product page; this city page is only the Paris delivery picture.

Who files the DELTA IE entry when the warehouse is in Paris?

The French importer or representative files DELTA IE at the office of the port of discharge, commonly Le Havre. A Paris warehouse address does not move the customs office unless the quote names a different procedure.

Nigerian shea butter for France

France does not grow shea. The butter on a France COA is West African — EMI Agro presses it in Ibadan from wild-collected nuts. French cosmetics briefs still say beurre de karité; Le Havre feeds Paris, Marseille feeds the Mediterranean plants. EMI Agro works with 5,000+ women collectors in Kwara, Niger, Kaduna, Kogi. Lyon buyers usually take the inland haul from Le Havre.

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. ANSM filings sit with the France 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 France 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 Le Havre. Quotes are EXW, FOB or CIF; each term prices different services beyond the butter.
