How does Nigerian shea butter physically reach Milan?

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

Who in Milan typically buys bulk shea butter?

Cosmetics and fashion ingredients hub. The country supplier page holds pack and documentation questions; this page is the Milan delivery picture.

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

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

Nigerian shea butter for Italy

Italy does not grow shea. The butter on a Italy COA is West African — EMI Agro presses it in Ibadan from wild-collected nuts. Milan buying offices take Genoa boxes; Gioia Tauro is the transshipment alternative on the same heading. EMI Agro works with 5,000+ women collectors in Kwara, Niger, Kaduna, Kogi. Genoa 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. Ministry of Health filings sit with the Italy 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 Italy 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 Genoa. Quotes are EXW, FOB or CIF; each term prices different services beyond the butter.
