Which ports should a Hong Kong buyer name on the quote?

Name Hong Kong. EMI Agro loads at Apapa and Tin Can Island in Lagos. Inland cities in Hong Kong are served from those discharge ports, not from a local EMI warehouse.

Which Incoterms does EMI Agro quote for Hong Kong?

EXW, FOB or CIF, chosen by the Hong Kong buyer. Each term prices different services beyond the butter — factory gate in Ibadan, Lagos load, or freight and insurance to Hong Kong. There is no published HKD price list per kilogram.

Can a Hong Kong formulator see a COA before a first container?

A current Certificate of Analysis for the named grade is sent with the quote pack. Trial lots for Hong Kong start at 5 tonnes and still travel with a batch COA. Every production batch ships with its own COA.

Yes — EMI Agro Industries exports bulk shea butter to Hong Kong: unrefined Grade A (cold-pressed, wild-collected), refined N-RBD and shea press cake, produced in Ibadan and loaded at Apapa (Lagos) and Tin Can Island (Lagos) for Hong Kong (32–50 days).

Nigerian shea butter for Hong Kong

Hong Kong is a destination market, not a shea-growing region. Drums arriving at Hong Kong are West African origin. Hong Kong Customs is not mainland China Customs; a Hong Kong discharge is not an NMPA entry. EMI Agro works with 5,000+ women collectors in Kwara, Niger, Kaduna, Kogi. Hong Kong 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. DH filings sit with the Hong Kong 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 Hong Kong 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 Hong Kong. Quotes are EXW, FOB or CIF; each term prices different services beyond the butter.

MOQ, pricing basis & payment

MOQ: Standard orders start at 20 tonnes. Trial lots start at 5 tonnes. Smaller volumes can still be requested — we review every enquiry against current production.
Pricing basis: Quoted per Incoterm. EXW, FOB and CIF attract different prices because each term adds different freight, insurance or local services beyond the shea butter itself.

Samples: Trial lots start at 5 tonnes of the named grade. Send the request even if you need less — we review whether we can supply.
